    So often people think that i don't date because I'm open about being marriage-minded. I do date. Just not casually. Say whaaaa?! Enjoy the vid! 💕

      Hello Kellie and Jamie Grace, I'm 28 also single and so greatful for this season, would not forfeit the peace God has graciously given and never ending love in Christ for no random man. Although prayerfully waiting for a Godly husband, I'm focusing on walking obediently and progressive holiness as He called us to be (1Corinth 7:32-34).
      Not easy, but He will sustain us as we abide in Him. Be blessed singles😘

      i needed this encouragement... i will be 30 in a few years.... and still single... but im believing God and praying for contentment in my season.. Also being connected to people with positive attitudes and opinions like this is very helpful. God bless you singles.... Africa, Zambia, Livingstone.

    Jamie, you are setting yourself up for such an incredible relationship and I believe Gods going to really honor you for that.
    Until a few months back I was in the same position as you - almost 26 and never had a boyfriend. Being in full time ministry and constantly had people trying to set me up. God has brought the most amazing man of God into my life and I'm so glad that I never wasted my heart and emotions on 'dating' just for the sake of it. Be picky and keep being proud of it!
    Love what you stand for Jamie Grace

      Bless you for that decision. My brother has the same thing in his heart and he is about 32. He completely and blindly trusts God with a future wife. But my mom is very disheartened and in a rush to see him married and with kids. Sometimes that passes on to me but I fix my eyes again on the greater plan. Pray for him pls for I know his reward will be great.

You've just inspired a video, I don't do causal dating either i'm all about being intentional, also 25 and my last "bf" was when I was 16 which lasted 3 months lool so basically been single my whole life. We basically have the same convictions, God bless you for this!

      @JoseSanchez-bp7xz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Breeny Lee
      I took out a few girls in my 20’s. I wouldn’t really call them dates. I actually hate dating,
      And I’m not bragging, but the last 3 women I’ve been with, I never dated. All 3 trusted
      Me enough that I would not force them into a sexual relationship until they were ready,
      If ever. Anyway, all 3 women crossed state lines to be with me, and I never dated any
      Of them. We just moved in together. The last woman was the most successful and
      We were together for 18 years, until she died from breast cancer that spread to her
      Bones, and she died, unfortunately. Now if I could be just as successful with younger
      Women, doing the same thing, I’d be very happy. I also don’t cheat on women, nor do
      I try and control them. One last thing: There are so many insecure guys out there who
      Are so worried if they don’t have sex very quickly with a woman: They don’t realize
      That it’s highly possible it will happen sooner or later, and it doesn’t matter if it’s
      Later. What’s important is that you enjoy each other’s company. I mean, they are
      Really worried, and it’s silly because if the 2 people never got around to mating,
      The world would end. No more new people would exist.

    Ive been single since I was born too! When people ask me why, I just laugh, and say, "I'm very serious about marriage, and I haven't found someone yet that I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with or felt God tugging at me to date a certain person" and then they say, "well, no one thinks that way anymore". I say "ever heard of Jamie Grace?" 😆😁😊❤ Thanks Jamie, you help me to renew my confidence in myself and in my faith and not give into the ways of this world. :)

    • @maryamtayeh4871
      @maryamtayeh4871 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      mikaylah tipton aww! And in response to those people the reason no one thinks that way anymore is really creating a loveless dating culture where it's basically like a drug instead of a peaceful loving commitment.

  • @thebeamli

  • @laurahunt5485
    @laurahunt5485 7 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    Jamie, I had this exact same mindset before I got married. You are leaps and bounds ahead of where I was in my maturity before I got married. I didn't want to date because 1) I don't like the dating world and how messed up it is, and 2) I prayed that I wouldn't have to date around before I met my husband. So I did go on intentional dates, but I did not want to date casually. I never had a boyfriend and I met my husband when I was 25 and we got married when I was 26. I don't believe it's old-fashioned, I believe it's intentional and I really think it's what God desires for us. Not saying that God hates when we date casually, but I don't think God intended for us to "shop around" before we met our future spouses.

    I must say I respect this a lot. I have been in relationships and we were at two very different places in our walk with God. I am going to be 32 on the 17th and still a virgin saving myself for my husband. Keep standing in your beliefs regardless of what people say. I know how it can be with people telling you what you should do.

    Hi there. 27, single, and working in ministry as a worship director. Hard to be taken seriously sometimes in being single, young and female. But I too am marriage minded. Made some dating mistakes in the past but know that God has redeemed me and is making me ready for my husband. I was once known for saying I was looking for my other whole note to complete my measure of 2/1. Only music nerds would get that one. ;) Thanks for sharing your heart.

    This is so beautiful. I wish I never dated anyone or kissed anyone and save that innocence for my future husband but I'm glad I haven't fully given myself completely to any guy. I'm 27 and most of my friends are married or in a relationship and getting that "you're not getting any younger" speech. I use to give chances to guys that did not fit my standards only because I get the "give him a chance and stop being picky" often, and when I do give the chance I knew I should have trusted myself instead of giving in to others. As I get older I realise that it's not a bad thing to have standards and right now I'm single but I don't have the need to date or be in a relationship with anybody which I'm quite happy about. I wish I felt like this at an earlier age but God works in mysterious ways in each of our journeys so you keep strong to your faith and when that time comes that our good Lord blesses you with a husband, for sure you will make an amazing wife.(sorry for the long essay)

    I'm so glad that I'm not the only girl that is marriage minded & I've always been like this. I'm 19y/o & I've never had a boyfriend before just like you ! I've been on dates but I've Never met someone that I feel like will like to spend the rest of their life with me haha, I do believe that God has someone for each one of us but is our decision whether we want to wait for that person or just date someone for their "looks" & then be heartbroken. I rather wait for the one that God has for me because he might me preparing him for me just like he's preparing me for him. I've also heard a lot of "couple stories" that they pray for each other before meeting each other & God answered their prayers. Now they're happily married because they had the patience to wait on the right one & God is the center of their relationship & I feel like God must be on the center of every relationship because that's what keeps a couple together forever. Just like his world says : "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
    -‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:12‬‬
    I hope you find the man you deserve soon !! I'm sure God has everything prepared for you & it will be a beautiful love story. God bless you !

    Jamie, where have you been? I've never came across someone like you. We have similar views on dating. I'm picky because I'm intentional. I've never been around a solid marriage so I may not know what it looks like but I know wjat my spirit urges and I follow it. People close to me may think I'm weird or lonely but truth is, I'm honestly GOOD. If anything, I worry about others who feel the need to always be with someone and so afraid of being alone. Anyways, I could go on. I don't wanna ramble. Glad I came across this video. I love your personality and feeling your energy!

  • @shayla9299

    Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it's nice just to know ur not alone. I just turned 26 and, similar story, never been in a relationship, never been willing to settle for a guy who doesn't share my same values and convictions. I don't drink, go to bars or clubs or parties. I've always believed in getting to know someone as friends first, and if it turns into something more ok, if not ok. So far no one has gotten past the friend zone lol. Keep godly standards, girls.
    I've seen good marriages and I've seen women who have to come to church alone because their husbands are not committed like they are. Kids in those families don't always see the importance of church or even God bc, if it's not important to one parent, why should it really matter to them? .....How can any 2 walk together unless they agree? How can any 2 lead a family in faith unless they agree?
    Better to be single than out of God's will.

      The thing is, most guys are so insecure, that they’re worried if they don’t have sex right
      Away, and they like to BS women into believing they’ll move on if women don’t have
      Sex right away. They’re not worth your time, and you wouldn’t want to be with them
      Anyway. They’ll treat you like trash. Most of it is all bluffing on their end. Of course,
      There really are guys out there and all they care about is sex, but they’ll never be
      Happy. It’s sad that more woman aren’t like you. I’m like you but women don’t like
      Nice guys, and older guys. I don’t believe that women should be pressured into
      Anything, and women should be allowed to come and go as they please. But
      I have been successful, not even dating the last 3 women in my life, and we
      Just moved in together. They trusted me and I kept my word. I don’t stare at
      A woman to intimidate her, she can do whatever she wants, and I don’t pressure
      Her for sex. The second woman I was with wanted to spend 24/7 with me.
      Drove me crazy. I like to mostly just stay home, write music, and record on
      A recording studio. I hate parties, and I’m really not into dating because you
      Have to impress somebody. Yeah, I guess I would be a bore to many women,
      But at least I tell the truth, be who I want to be. The only thing that is a lie
      Is my name I use here. I just made it up. I’m really a white guy.

    Totally #relatable lol...Im 20 years old, I've never dated anyone, never had a boyfriend and basically never had true feelings for someone so never been heartbroken YAAAAS!! haha this is been an incredible journey, at times hard but over all amazing. I got to know Jesus and know myself through him, and because i know who I am in Christ, I love myself know myself and respect myself Ive decided to wait for the right time and the right man for me. My life hasn't stopped and is not going to stop because I'm single, I don't get my value from a cute relationship that I can brag on insta, being single is exiting and you do learn to enjoy every season that you're in, it's been awesome and I know it will be worth it!! I wanna get married and have a family one day but it's not happening right now and it's fine with me!! :)

    • @KathyCouserJoyM
      @KathyCouserJoyM 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I am soooooo glad to hear someone speaking up about "JESUS " Being the Reason! There is a great Big difference in being Christian and Church Folk...than Truly Living a set apart life " presenting our bodies as "living sacrifices" holy and acceptable unto God" Knowing that if we claim to love JESUS, This is our reasonable Sacrifice. And each day we are to deny ourselves of living like those who have not been transformed. With all our heart, mind, body and soul. Why are we saved anyhow? For marriage only? Or Just for other things? No, we are saved by the Blood of JESUS, to be reconciled back from Sin...to our Heavenly Father God,,,to live a holy, and righteous life before Him, as truly anointed vessels of God. Our lives belong to GOD and his Son is the way. If our lives lines up in His Word and in The Holy Spirit, who guides and teaches us, fills us with God's power in Christ... all these other things if it's His will shall come in time. First let us get right with the Lord, then He will give us the Power to "Wait on all other things!!!

    Thank you so so much for making this video! I have struggled so much here recently with people pressuring me to date and immediately get married and have a family and i am ONLY 18, when in my heart I do feel that it is not my time. Even if I have to wait until I am thirty or forty to wait for the one the Lord has in store for me, I will be completely comfortable and content because I will know I am now ready for marriage and my husband will be also. It is a comfort to know there is another woman in the world who shares these views and who finds her "single season" as a blessing instead of a curse. Keep up your most amazing work! I truly believe the Lord is using you to speak to so many young women of the Lord who have found themselves in a position where they wonder if they should date or spend their single season praying for the man in store for them and preparing themselves for marriage! God bless you!

How I met my husband is a great example of Trusting in Jesus. we met when we both were ready for each other. once I gave up looking and gave it to Jesus. we met soon after :) Trust in Your True Parent and creator

I know God will send the perfect man for you to you when you and him are ready. I was blown away by this and will be sharing it with my girls. They need to know that not dating and getting married right out of high school is ok. Finding yourself is ok and waiting on God to send who he wants you with is the best. Way to go you!

I don't want to waste my time with someone who isn't marriage-minded. I've been thinking I was the only one. So nice to see so many others are also in that mindset. We are not alone!!Celebrate the season God has you in!

    Its incredible how at this point you didn't know when who how but you just put it in God's hands. encouraging because right now I've just left it in God's hands lol I'm 25 now. I doubt we have the same timeline but God is faithful and if He's kept this desire in my heart He'll make it happen
    In the meantime the show must go on!

    Just saw this, and I love it! Love your intentionality, so few people get the intentional lifestyle. Keep being intentional, God has a plan!

    If this idea about developing ourselves before marriage, is a revelation from God, then he gave that to u and i. people forget that age is just a number. its not about being at the right age to get married, it about being prepared internally. so good toughs on that Jamie.

    Totally agree with you! I'm 25 as well, I'm single as well, I have never had a boyfriend. And I'm ok with that. I'm married-minded, and patiently waiting for the right moment, the right person.

    You really said it all. This video actually defines me. I feel like some people who know me may have thought about me as weird with respect to this subject. "There are beautiful things about every season in life." Go girl!
