Do you think it's God's will that every Believer be married?
i was married very briefly many years ago. i wasnt walking in faith at that time [neither was my husband] and the marriage was a bad one, to say the least. my husband left me the day before i gave birth to our son [adultery was involved] and i've been single every since.
now, my son is 18 and will soon be off to college. he's a good boy and true blessing to me.
the bad marriage i went through in my early 20's was enough to scare me from trying it again while i was raising my son. now that he's about to get out in the world and start his own life, i'm feeling more settled and i've started to feel something is 'missing.'
at some point, i'd like to find somebody to really settle down with and have a 'normal' relationship.
is the fact that i'm thinking about it so seriously now a sign that the Holy Spirit is telling me that it's my time to find a life helper and mate, or do i assume that the reason i havent found anybody in all these years is because part of God's purpose for me requires i be alone?
i've prayed on it and honestly, i can say i'm not 'lonely.' that's not what it is. i think it's more a case of feeling 'incomplete.'
weird question, i know, but one that has been pressing on me quite a bit, lately.
