Girls, tell me what you think!! I just read this blog: [post 67921] And it really gave me something to think about. Here is a girl, one year younger than myself, that really WANTS to be married, and has for quite some time. Growing up, I never felt the driving need to want to be married or have . No, I do not hate men or anything like that... but I just didn't feel that it was something that should be pursued. The chances that I would be interested in any man from this site are slim to nil because in my opinion, it is unnatural and a big turn off for a man to be advertising himself as here "looking for the one God has for him." If God really puts two people together, you don't need to be out looking for that person... things will just develop naturally. Ok, that was a tangent I didn't mean to get off on... It brings me back to my original point. I wonder how many other girls out there are like me. I'm 27 years old and have only had one relationship to speak of so far. There were a few guys that I dated casually, but I hardly remember their names. Am I normal? Do you think that a Christian woman should be wanting to settle down and take care of her husband? ah... I DO want to do that... but I am not driven to find someone. |

I read your post and the one you linked to and I don't think there is a problem with you by any means! First of all, God didn't save us into sameness. He made each one of us unique. We are also to be content with what we have in life. You seem to understand that. You have a healthy outlook. Enjoy your life. You are totally correct. Let things happen naturally and just live your life and actually live it, not wait around for Mr. Right to come along. I think you are totally on the right track. God bless you!

I'm not sure a woman could ever have a higher aspiration... "Now, while yer up, go get me a beer! And where the h*** is that d*** remote?"

Personal opinion...? I think you are just FINE! When the Lord led me to marry my husband, He brought him TO MY FRONT DOOR! There was no hunting, no wondering, no looking. Barry has been gone (cancer) almost a year now and I have asked the Lord to please do as He did before...BRING THAT PERSON TO ME...IF He wants me to marry again. I am in no rush and am not out looking. Carry on as usual, Captain!

I highly doubt that you meant it in the sense of a mail order husband, and I'd like to hear the back story if you want to share.

I was thinking about this topic all day actually. All of my old friends are married, or shacked up and knocked up. I want to get married, but I don't want to latch on the next "acceptable Christian man" that crosses my path.

Alot of the people I know are of the opinion that if I'm not trying to find a man NOW at this late stage in my life, I am either a loser.. or a lesbian. I was thinking about this topic all day actually. All of my old friends are married, or shacked up and knocked up. I want to get married, but I don't want to latch on the next "acceptable Christian man" that crosses my path. I went to a church once that accused me of being a lesbian because I didn't bring any men to church with me. About a year later, that same church leadership accused me of having an adulterous affair because I brought a platonic male friend with me to a church function. They were wrong on both counts as humans often are! I forgave them but I realized that perhaps they should work on their own relationships with Christ while I focused on my own as I found a new church home. We can't please every Tom, dick or Harry (or every Sheila, Marsha and Jane). The only One we should try to please is God and if we make sure our own individual relationships with Jesus is on the up and up, then that's all we need to do. The rest should probably consentrate on that as well instead of the relationships we have or don't have as the case may be. God bless you and don't let the idiots get to you!

In all honesty, I have yet to be accused of being a lesbian in church. The thing I am finding most hard to put up with is this thing of "it's time to find a man." It is wearisome!

wow..amanda I actually agree with you on this.. I have never been one to sit round like girls do and plan out their wedding, never been one to chase boys although I did hang around with boys when I was growing up... Never had alot of men and had one serious relationship that led to marriage.. I also agree that its sooo of putting that men OR women come on here sounding sooo flippin desperate.. and personally..theres NOTHING wrong with you wanting to take your time with things and not rush and then end up in divorce court.. God bless ya in ALL you do ...

You are still Young- I have been seeking God for "miss right" for 27 of my 44 years- I have had to spend 20 of the 27 alone.

Hi! I just found your note asking for explanation about the man the Lord led me to marry coming to my door! Well, my parents were very into helping Christian servicemen and invited several over for Sunday dinner one day in 1969. The first time in my life that I saw Barry, he was walking in my front door! Now, I am sure the Lord could do that again if He wanted, but there is such a group of wonderful men and women here at BC!! I am seeking a man who is more in love with the Lord than he is with me. As it should be.
