    Why are you still single even though you have the desire to be married? Our society glorifies marriage and family and it can be devastating for those who have the desire to be married to remain single. In this video I share 6 reasons why you're still single and how you can prepare yourself for marriage if that's what you believe God has for you.

    These are good points ,but the biggest reason I feel is simply finding a person that is a Christian is probably the hardest. Churches aren't full of single people and if they are the chances of finding them attractive with things in common are slim to none.. Seems like if you don't attend a Christian college after high school to find someone your chances are very slim.

    I’m 28 and been single my entire adult life. My age is definitely a concern now. Abstaining from sex feels like torture sometimes. It’s also hard to make friends because so many people my age or older are married with kids and don’t have time to connect. So I usually end up doing things alone. I’ve tried pursueing opportunities I thought would be good in the past, but the rejection has held me back. Then I decided to cut myself off from Facebook because suddenly everyone I know was engaged or just married. I was happy for them but it hurt me so much. Social media is a tool meant to flaunt your relationships even if it isn’t truly a happy one. Anyway, I’m trying to accept God’s timing and to know that he isn’t allowing this to hurt me. I don’t want this to consume my joy and happiness.

      I feel ya. Try being 36 and single. Been single for the last 22 years just praying and believing God to bring my spouse but haven't come across anyone I'm attracted to who is single and available. At this point I'm not going to lie it's hard to keep the faith that it's ever going to happen. Everyone in my family including younger siblings are either married or in serious relationships. I really don't know why God has kept me waiting for over 2 decades and counting but am trusting Him and have surrendered to whatever God's will is. God doesn't owe me anything but I owe Him everything for Hos salvation and continual protection over me. Thank and Praise you Lord Jesus Christ!🙏🥰❤️

      Yup, the evangelical church has done a horrible job concerning the topic of dating and relationships. The church has always said do not have sex until marriage, do not get physically involved with someone, do not settle. I certainly agree with these "do not"" statements, but rarely has the church offered affirmative "do statements." It's refreshing the evangelical church has finally come to grips with their weak efforts in the past and are now starting to approach the subject of relationships in a more affirmative, encouraging manner.

    I am totally okay with my singleness right now! I was initially married to an unbeliever and (surprise, surprise) when things got hard she got out. Spent the next two years in casual sex relationships with more unbelievers, and I got progressively hurt worse and worse. Finally I came back to God and am repenting for a lot of my past, while allowing God to take the reins. I don't think I'll be ready for awhile, not until my faith is strong and I've built new habits, but I am praying that a wife and family is in God's plan for me down the line. But for today I'm not stressing about it!

    Loneliness can carry its own danger. Sometimes we are so lonely that we are willing to "settle" for anybody who will have us, and that really can cause a lot of trouble. I've been there. I almost fell into a possible trap. But also, I prayed that if this guy turned out to be a nice guy that I didn't hurt him. I would never intentionally do that. But online situations can be dangerous.

And luckily God made me realize all that BEFORE the aisle . So I have gave him his ring back and told him he didn't deserve to marry someone who was a broken mess . And that i needed to get right . It was hard . But I'm soooooo glad I did it . I was quite the terror to be around for a long time . Still healing , but I'd like to say I'm alot better . I won't be getting back into dating world until im ready and only I will know . So for now I'm swerving errbody haha

    Amen brother. I have been single for quite some time, they were relationships I wanted to be in. But God saw them before I did. I have a feeling, now maybe the time. But I am just trusting God right now. And working on serving him. Because it says in Nehemiah 10 verse 11. The joy of the Lord is our strength and could you pray for me. I have had an eyesight problem for quite some time. And it is called RP. I feel like God is slowly giving me the vision that I want back. Maybe to the point to where I can start driving later on in the future. So just pray for that. Thanks so much and God bless.

    @MusicSoundsBeautiful 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The ending with the 5 questions/ things to consider in a potential mate was the best part of the video. In the culture of many Black churches, we overcomplicate dating and marriage and other churches focus on things like those 5 questions you posted. That is why their women are becoming wives and many of our women are living bound waiting on the "one Boaz" in a world of billions of people. All these steps, reasons etc. are keeping folks from living more fruitful lives and increasing the likelihood of prolonged singleness, dwindling faith in vulnerable areas etc. unnecessarily.

Meaning i am not good enough yet, or my life is not on the rail enough yet. Thank you for this information it really helps to clarify the mist of confusion. And i think its a good thing that it is in all these bite size bits, as i said before, very claryfying. (Or something like that, lol)

    This is very good Allen. I needed to hear this. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I've been a saved reborn Christian since the summer of 2000. Many people ask me why am I still single. I can give them the first reason that you gave in this video but a while later they continue to ask me why am I still single. So many people ask me that to the point where I don't even know what to say anymore. Some people even wonder if do I even like women. I've been single without a mate for a long time. I can't seem to find a mate and now I know why God hasn't given me my mate yet. Sometimes I wonder, what have I done to not deserve a mate?

    The trouble with the church on the whole is that there is to much emphasis on being married and its benefits and not enough on being single or even staying single for that matter!
    I am 58 and have never married and believe you and me it is tough being in church with absolutely no mention for singles. I feel a lot of the time for single Christian men and women who are praying for a life partner I can definitely sympathize with them as I have not only never married but have never had any children. I on the other hand have brought many people to Christ and therefore been a spiritual father instead.
    Pastors and teachers need to be balanced!

    I know why I am still single at 50.I have made very poor decisions out of desperation and being lonely. My parents had a toxic marriage even though they were married over 50 years. I have no children on top of that. I don't want any either. All I ever wanted was a God Fearing Man to love me. After so many failed attempts, I have decided to do it God's way. I am going to wait on him to send me my husband. In the meantime, I am going to read my bible more, go to church when I can because I work a lot of hours during the week and weekends. I am the common denominator. The problem was me! I understand that now. Thank you Lord for your forgiveness. Now, all I have to do is raise my emotional intelligence IQ and become more embedded in the Lord Period!

      I really wouldn't recommend MGTOW. If there's anything that doesn't fit into the Christian life, it's judging all women as promiscuous whores and using them for sex. This is what MGTOW teaches.
      I think the reason you fall for the wrong people is due to a personality flaw. This is not an insult. Maybe you had a bad childhood - your childhood affects the rest of your life. But the damage can be undone.

      @Monica Merino "Some people blame everything on wicked spirits"
      Yeah, I think you just did. You just blamed poverty and loneliness on spirits. So the war veteran on the side of the road didn't get let down by his country, he's just possessed with demons? Is that the idea? The old widow whose family never visits isn't lonely because of that, but because of demons?
      You may want to reconsider, or maybe clarify, these ideas, because they really don't make sense.

  • @xGWIxPockets
    @xGWIxPockets 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’ve seen a lot of hard ship when it comes to relationships. Been divorced already and had my heart broken deeply many times before that and after. Did it take me time to heal? Sure it did and I also made some mistakes but the thing that always keeps me going is that God respects free choice and so must I respect others free choices. As long as I’m staying in the word and good teaching the spirit will guide my choices and my choices are all I need to worry about. If others choices separate them from my life or my choices from theirs one or both of us have a journey to make before we’re ready for a special someone. I can rest easy in the fact that God has my future in mind and it’s a great future. As long as I’m focused on who I am in Christ and watching my choices closely it doesn’t matter if others choices, good or bad, separate them from me. God will guide me to the people who need me or who I need in my life and there isn’t just one string of events that leads where God wants me, no one single bad choice that puts a wrench in Gods plans. His plans for good for my life are many and possibly many people God wants us to give ourselves as an option for marriage. They may not take it many times but that’s why it’s so important to do things Gods way to protect and respect ourselves and others and one day, maybe sooner than you think, one of those very special people are going to choose you back.
