As a single man in my early 20s, what am I supposed to do with my high sex drive? -- Fornication is forbidden -- inappropriate content is forbidden -- Masturbation is forbidden (I can't do it without lust) I have attempted to give my desires to God in the form of prayer, but He doesn't seem very interested...

Just a few thoughts I've had recently about causes of singleness. Maybe it will provoke some debate and be helpful, maybe not. They are not listed in any particular order. 1. Work/social/church doesn't result in contact with many potential matches. 2. Conversation style and strategy with...

Sometimes, I just really want to shoot pool. No worries about score, or rules, or even aiming...just throw some balls on the table, grab a cue, and start hitting them around. Sometimes, they make it in a pocket. I just find the sound of pool balls hitting each other very satisfying, and...

Hello everyone, I'm 22 and a little less than a year ago I ended a relationship with my exboyfriend because he was not a believer and I decided to follow Jesus. At that time, I was also sure that my future husband was somewhere out there. Well, about a year later I feel like everyone around...

I want to start by looking at what the bible says in: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 "I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests...

I've been single for years... its not fun. I wish I could find a suitable boyfriend or husband. I want to continue my mothers bloodline and give her grandkids! Going to church with a partner sounds so nice... Maybe I should start looking myself instead of of waiting for someone to come to me?

I met with an idea that the status "a spinster" or "a bachelor" does not exist, i mean like in Gods eyes. That one can be only married or the consecrated person. People who standed for this opinion were spiritual autorities in my parish, they studied theology and nobody would doubt their...

I feel so lost right now. I used to be so on fire for Christ and it feels like I have lost Him. I need some advice, it is much appreciated. About 5 years ago I used to be engaged to be married. I ended up calling off the wedding and it was very difficult. We continue to try to date off and...

This is just something that's been really bothering me lately regarding a so-called "gift of singleness." I understand that there a plenty of people who are happy being single, but a great many more are not. They would like to be married (including myself) yet most churches are doing little to...
