Forever Single

[moerunamida]

I think I am far too complicated for any guy to want to spend the time to figure me out. Almost every relationship I have been in... I have been imensly emotionally hurt and I can't take it anymore. I only care about God and if He wants someone in my life, then so it shall be done.

Hi, as someone who is married with a small child, I've gotta tell ya, it is a big committment, and unless God ordains it and blesses it, It ain't gonna work! Children and marriage are a huge responsiblity.

I met my husband when I had decided I didn't want to get married. (yeah, what a joke! I seriously didn't want to get married, I had just started out trying to get a good job and was studying for a different career path) I met him at church and we really didn't like each other much at all. I thought he was too "nerdy" and he thought I was too outrageous and loud! We constantly teased each other and were rude to each other all the time. He was the last person I thought I would marry. Eventually, we decided that we were being childish (at the time we were 23) and decided we would at least try and be nice to each other. In the space of 2 months, we became "an item" and then engaged! It sounds quick I know, but obviously God had his hand in it.

Anyway, this is a real ramble I know. The point I want to make is to just let God be God. He knows the right person, for the right time for you. To the people who are already in their mid 20's. I know lots of people who are older than me who are still single. As I said, it is a big commitment. I wouldn't have it any other way, but enjoy being single. It is great to be married, but it is great to be single too.

I agree with Echoes Peak though I think she was referring to Corinthians 7.


1 Corinthians 7:8-9
8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.


1 Corinthians 7:28
28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

I'm single and I'm ok with where i am, but I do want to be married someday. I want to have a family and care for them. I want to be a mom and a wife. I want to respect my husband and have a ministry together. I want to share my life with someone. I know marriage is hard work and i'm willing to work hard. I guess i've been single for a while now and i'm just ready to move on in life. Although I'm alright with being single now, it doesn't mean I want to be single forever.

The last part is well said. If we spend all our time searching, we are likely to find the wrong person.
But as for being too complicated, the problem is more likely spending so much time trying to figure yourself out...
Time does a lot. If you don't rush into new relationships, let your heart become calm again, then, and only then, are you really capable of a real, pure, peaceful realtionship. Chronic serial dating is a bad thing.

I think when the right person comes into your life you will know. I believe God will tell you.

I will never be married. After all my research on the end times and other topics that relate to our times I can never be married. Marriage brings forth children which would be a cruel thing to do knowing we are nearing huge global cataclysms.

make a family just to die in a few years? might as well stay alone.

But you have no idea when the "end times" are going to be. No one does. So you could bring in a family, be happy, then they could grow, bring in a family be happy and THEN could be "the end." You just dont know.
