I am really struggling. I don't really have anything else to say. It is rigged against me I can't get married. I thought I was growing out of wanting one some - nope.I am struggling again. The desire to be married will never go away completely this life

That's okay. It's good to hear other perspectives. I've struggled w/ this for a long time. Sometimes are better than other times.You clearly have an unhealthy attachment to the prospect of marriage. Marriage isn’t going to fix anything or everything.
We can’t rely on someone else to complete us.
I think it was you posting in a thread recently about doubts and things of that nature too. To that end I’d say until you have that under control, as well as this unhealthy attachment dealt with and you spend a good amount of time free from those things, only consider marriage then.
Sorry to sound harsh, but I don’t know who else you have around you to offer perspective on these things.
I was always surprised how few resources there are for Christians who want to get married but struggle.
It seems most resources are by people who got married relatively young.
I guess a lot of people just give up after?
I think a lot of non-believer 'single' people actually aren't........This large scale of singleness is a big thing for our generation. Most older people wouldn't know how to help us.
I dont' get married
Very hard.Brother, I’m trying to be charitable, but you seriously need to stop thinking about this completely.
It's never enough. It's like I can never be ready. I go thru life & then it just hits I'm no closer.You have an unhealthy attachment to it and don’t seem ready for marriage at all. It’s time to stop obsessing.
I like focusing on the Lord.Focus on life. Focus on improving yourself. Focus on your faith.
I'm not sure. I think it's my struggle I will get from time to time. I think 'being ok w/ it' is giving upIf it happens it happens. It may not, and you need to be OK with that.
