Are you single for a season or is God calling you to be single from now on?

girlofgrace727 · May 2, 2005

i know without a doubt that i am going to get married, and i believe its not going to be all that long until I do..I have been single for as long as I have been alive (19 years) and I'm just waiting for my husband to come along!

I don't know yet.

I've felt called by God toward many things, but lifelong singleness isn't one of them. Yes, some people are called to remain celibate, and it is a blessing for them to remain single. However, I believe my hope for a spouse/family coincides with my faith, and the answers to my prayers have been quite clear. It would be wrong, essentially sinful, for me to remain single. He will provide in His time. We in a fallen world, if it takes a little longer for him to filter out the not-so-great matches (or whatever his reasoning) before I find that extra-wonderful woman, then that's how it will have to be.

I have had crashed and burnd relationships in my life, but if GOD wants me to waite I will until then.

I pray I'll get married and be able to raise a family one day... not looking for that right now though. I'd really like to be able to focus on school, and more importantly my relationship with God.

I pray that I will get married and have lots of children but at the moment - actually a long moment- there is a drought LOL sorry.....

I sincerelyhope and pray that I am only single for a season. I really want to get married and have lots of kids and be a wife and a mom. But right now it's not happening. The idea of being single and not having a family for the rest of my life makes me ill. God is in control so I guess if he wants me single forever He's going to have to really change my desires.

I could make some guy really happy some day. If they would just look my way and not be intimidated by me, I mean who could resist this cute face, ROFL! But, I do want to eventually get married and have kids...heck, otherwise I would go crazy and drive everyone else nuts! I mean there is so much bubbliness and dorkiness to go around! So, God please bring around a cute, loveable, Christian guy with a great sense of humor...who can keep up with me!

There are so many things in my life that God has called me to that I wouldn't be able to do or wouldn't have the time to do if I was married. I think it was about 4 years ago that I was in a realtionship and the guy had actually asked me to marry him. NOw that I step back and look at the relationship I ask myself WHY???? I was sooooo stupid in some of the things I had done. but I can tall you now 4 years later that God has used all of those experiences for His glory!! I know that when I do get married it will be on GOd's clock!

If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, well, I guess there's my answer. But I don't feel God necessarily telling me that I will or shall never get married.

22 years of singleness and counting...

I think I'm seeing a trend here.

Fatolia · May 3, 2005

I don't care if God calls me to be single or not. I don't care if I ever find the "right" woman for me. All I care about is serving God and being the best man I can be for him.

And so far, by doing that, though there have been opportunities to take some of my female friendships further, he's told me and showed me 'no' every time. There is no shame in that.

God planted the wish to marry in my heart many years ago, but I've made mistakes in falling for the wrong girls. It's easy to fall in love because you always think "Yes! She's the one" only for God to say "No, she's not." We have our wishes, but the Lord controls our steps.

I agree with you 100%! I couldn't have said it better!

Hey I am thirty and still single and if the Lord wants me or not to have a relationship, then that is up to Him and not me!!

boilerblues · May 4, 2005

The wife of an elder at church who knows me well told me that God wouldn't keep me single because God doesn't take the path of pain avoidance That's not to say that marriage is a painful thing or that I view marriage as a painful thing, but marriage is a situation that can really make a person grow and my relationships with women is something that God uses to dig down deep in my heart to unearth the things I need to grow in.

Been single so far, tend to assume the later (though I don't think of it as a calling, I don't really try to meet women I'd be interested in dating and subsequently don't).

Just single for a season (please! please! please! )

amen! well, except i'd be finding that extra-wonderful man!! can't wait, but in a way i can. there's just lots of stuff i want to do with my life before i get married and have some kids. now, if this extra wonderful man wants to go and do those things with me..good deal! if not..oh well. i'll be married one of these days, but for now i'm doing what the Lord wants me to do.
