You are not defined by the evil, sin, and criminality of others. In God's eyes, and in the eyes of your Christian brothers and sisters, you are still pure. I pray that you will come to the same conclusion yourself.

in my early 40s (male), never had a relationship; would like to get married but since I don't do anything to find a partner and it feels like since I just have neither the energy or the patience to search, I will most likely be single on my final day on Earth (my own death or the Rapture) unless God works a miracle the size of parting the Red Sea.

You owe it to yourself to enjoy yourself.

I couldn't imagine a better time than right NOW to be a forty-something. Get yourself into the best shape of your life, travel, take on a few new hobbies and stop being so serious. Tick off the bucket list and enjoy doing it (okay, once the restrictions are lifted. Obviously.)

There's absolutely ZERO need to put in any effort or do any 'searching'. Labouring over the easy stuff is half the problem of this millennial age.

I'm single and about 46 yrs old now and have never had a relationship. (I first woke up to it at 35.) What is worse is that I don't have a job and i have a disability and i can't get out much, and am in a small population country and "city", so my chances of ever meeting someone are pretty slim barring a miracle (requiring faith). Most people over 30 already have met someone and most "singles" over 30 are "recycled" and have children. I don't worry about it as much anymore but it does hurt alot (I don't like celebrating my birthdays because of it). I still include in my prayers asking for God to find me someone before I turn 50 but it is so hard to believe after so long no answer. Failing meeting someone in this life the only hope i see sometimes is that maybe we will be recompensed in the Millenium to marry someone then and not forever miss out, but I worry because Jesus said the resurrected are like the angels and don't marry?
