Go partying was a sarcasm. I was being ironic, your advice for me is to socialize with people my age... then it would have to be at a club, because the Church is filled with old people. lol

Maybe my first post may look like I am just going to sit and wait... but what I meant was... "would it be possible for God to bring me a husband in somewhere else... because the Church I go has mostly old people."

OOOOO!!!

Wow, that totally changes my answer.... and it's shorter.

Find a new church. lol :D
Honestly, find a new church. Go to a church were there are people looking for a spouse.

It's the same answer actually. You have to go to where there are people your age.

Or...!... You need to ask people at your church to set you up with someone, who may not go to that church. Old people tend to have lots of connections.... So they may know of a young man looking for a wife somewhere. So ask one to set you up.

Having tried everything else, my wife-to-be asked God to bring a man to her door, and a few weeks later she had a moving sale, preparing to go live near her brother. So...I walked right into her garage door, we met, and the rest, as they say, was history. Neither of us has ever been happier.

Hi guys...

To find the Right Person, aka a Husband, do I need to go to the Chruch or is it enough to just pray for God and He will bring me my husband?

I prefer to pray at home.



Thanks.


Depends what you mean by the "right person". If you mean a man committed to serving Christ, then the place most of them are, is in the church.

Why do you wish to stay at home? Are you finding it difficult to find a church that you can settle in?

I'd say get involved in activities that you enjoy for their own sake, and it may be you'll meet someone with common interests.

i'm not aware of any biblical examples of someone praying and just sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Rachel at the well was pretty close.

My father, an American from West Virginia met his Brazilian wife at a missions conference. Personally I think that the point of Proverbs was to teach people how to find a good spouse. Perhaps a husband will trip over you, perhaps not.

Do people your age do anything else other than go clubbing?

I prayed for several decades for a Christian wife. I was patient and I waited upon the Lord, and God answered in His timing. God brought somebody half way around the world into my life and now we are happily married. She is my soul mate. So yes. God can bring somebody to you if you pray.

She contacted me on a Christian dating site after I re-dedicated my life to Christ (in following Him more seriously). So yes, I believe God can bring you a husband if you truly keep praying and never give up hope and you truly believe He will bring someone into your life. I always believed there was a soul mate out there for me. I just did not think God would bring her in the timing He did. God has a way of surprising you.

So believe that there is a soul mate out there who is truly serious in following the Lord;
And continue to keep praying for them to come into your life.
But most important, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things (like a husband) will be added unto you. Have faith or believe, and it shall be done (in God's timing).

So all the other posters are pretty accurate.

Your post seems to imply that you are just going to sit at home, and pray that G-d brings you a husband. That generally speaking, does not happen. I'm 41, and I'm single. In all my years, only 2 times have women just shown up randomly. Once at about 8 PM, someone knocked on my door, and I opened in and two women with food, walked into my home.

They had apparently mistaken my house for a friends house, and walked in before even seeing who opened the door. They both go in the house, froze, looked around, looked at me, started squealing with laughter, and then left.

They were laughing so hard, and so red in the face from embarrassment, that they didn't even give me an explanation. The only really sad part was they didn't leave the food when they left. Sad face -_-

And the second time, I was at work, and a lady walked up and said "this is going to be awkward...." and somehow I instantly knew what was coming. "Would you like to go out for coffee?"

I ended up going with her just that once, because I could tell she had mustered all the courage she had to ask. However, she was a crazy pagan girl, so after that I did not go with her anywhere again.

My point to you is, I don't know what your church has taught you, but if you think that G-d is going to just 'bring you a husband', I would suggest that is highly unlikely.

There is no evidence in the Bible, that G-d just brings people a spouse. There is tons about finding a spouse, searching for a spouse, and looking for a spouse. But the only person who G-d specifically brought a spouse to, was Adam, when he was given Eve.

Look at the book of Ruth. Did they pray for favor? Sure. But Ruth, with the help of Naomi, basically hunted down Boaz down. They got her all dolled up, got her perfume on, planned out how to approach the man. It was a well thought out conspiracy.

So I would say that you should be praying that G-d will make your search for a husband successful. However, as that prayer implies, you need to be searching.

As for how you search, I noticed you mentioned clubbing and partying.

Do you believe that you will find a good Christian man, in the clubs?

I would suggest possibly not. But if they are not there, then where are they?

The answer to that question will determine where you should spend your time.

I refuse to believe that good Christian men, are clubbing all night long. I would say I am not a terrible Christian man, and I have never gone clubbing all night.

Now I get it, that where you are, most people meet members of the opposite sex, at a club while partying. I get it.

But I don't think good Christian men do that. So if they don't, then they have to be doing something else.

My wager is that they are involved in the church. Maybe you need to be more involved in the Church.

However, it does not have to be the church. It could be some other activity. Like serving in a charity or outreach. I don't know.

Whatever the case may be, the solution isn't holding up in your house, waiting for someone to come, and the solution isn't acting like a pagan and going to some orgy of some sort.

No one can give you a perfect formula for success. But I can certainly say the two above, are a formula for failure.

God is more powerful than you can imagine. He most certainly can bring a soul mate or Christian spouse into a believer's life if they believe, pray, and stay faithful to the Lord. Did not Abraham have Sarah? Did not Boaz have Ruth? Do you think these were random occurrences?

I am just one testimony of many believers who received their soul mate from the Lord via by believing, prayer, and faithfulness to the Lord.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I've been talking to God at night and I would ask him to bring somebody into my life that would love and accept me. All you need to do is speak to God every night and tell him that you are nothing without him and that only he can help you because he is your holy God. Continue by telling him that you want someone to come into your life that will love you and accept you for who you are. After you do that, put in the effort to do whatever it takes to be close to God and Jesus, his holy son.

I wish you luck. God will give you an opportunity when the time is right. Just have faith in him.

I met my spouse at an Alcoholic Anonymous after praying to our Lord Jesus Christ for help to keep me sober and on track because I was lonely and in pain with my past. We now have 3 beautiful children, we are sober for many years and refuse to drink. We are also complete opposites, she's way out of my league and not only that but she's helped me cope with my ptsd from my time spent as a Paratrooper in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I like you didn't like going out and only spoken to people when I had alcohol in me, you need to do your part thought. Don't just ask, do good deeds and praise Him by helping others.

You never know you might meet your future husband online. My wife and I met on another message board and within a year of meeting each other we got married. So I wouldn't eliminate the possibility of meeting someone online. Or you could meet him in church or something. If God has a husband for you don't worry you will meet him. Whether its online or somewhere else. We always meet our God given matches.

I mean, yes and no... You can certainly pray about it... You can do it in your church, you can do it in your house, you can do it with a mouse... But experience has taught me that praying eases the wait and that your partner comes when you’re ready to receive them, not with hen your prayer manifests them.

As to NEEDING to leave the house to meet somebody, it’s 2019... You certainly don’t NEED to leave the house to meet somebody. Online dating, online games, forums like this one, social media, chat rooms, etc have done a lot to bring the world into the home and home into the world. Does it help to broaden your horizons and be receptive to finding someone you could be with? Of course. But it’s not impossible or even really that hard to meet people from home.

I'm not going to argue with whatever you want to believe. It's ok with me. I gave my advice, and I stand by it. My advice does not somehow include 'god is weak'. G-d could make us all power super heros that can deflect bullets with our eyes. The fact G-d can, does not mean G-d will.

You mention Abraham and Sarah. There is nothing indicating how they met, and equally nothing suggesting they were just hiding in a tent, and G-d brought them a spouse.

You also mentioned Boaz and Ruth. That is exactly the couple I would cite.

Ruth was not sitting at home praying G-d would bring her someone. She was out working for the Lord, and by chance happened in a field owned by Boaz. Naomi asked Ruth "Which field did you pick from today?" Based on that it is possible.... we don't know, but it is possible Ruth had been in many different fields before stopping on Boaz's field.

Even then, G-d did not just bring them together. After finding a potential husband, Ruth and Naomi conspired together, and made a plan to meet and ask him to marry her.

The got her all dressed up. They got her cleaned up and smelling good with perfume. They planned out where to meet, what to do, and what to say.

This was far from G-d just bringing two people together... it was chance, plus planning, plus timing.

Does that mean G-d had nothing to do with it? Maybe, maybe not. G-d is involved in all aspects of our lives.

But the idea that you sitting around waiting for him to "bring you a soul mate", is not in the Bible.

By the way, if you really think about it, this idea would result in millions of lonely people.

If I want a wife, and I'm sitting at home waiting for G-d to bring her to me... and my G-d ordained wife is also sitting at her home waiting for G-d to bring her a husband...... How are we ever going to meet? How does that work?

Rebekah was waiting at home when the servant of Abraham came.

Gen24v50Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the LORD; we have no choice in the matter. 51Rebekah is here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”

Pray at home.. pray EVERYWHERE and in everything. Hmm I really think that GOD? Yeah.. can do ANYTHING..so no you don't have to go to church to find a spouse. But.. you go to Church because GOD gave you something others need.. and to its ALWAYS about others.. not self. He can lead you to the right Church :)
