There are so many single Christian men and women tuning in your channel, maybe you could hold a conference somewhere where we could all meet lol just a thought! ;)
JA EL I support your idea.
Hi:]
I thought of that as well. Maybe a liveasteam on CZcams?
I love this idea
So true!!!
1. Networking
2. Church
3. Mission trips/ projects
Good summary :)
We met at my job
@@averythebutterfly met someone on CZcams lol😅😅and we’ll see
I had my first kiss at church. Maybe I might meet my husband there.
Amen
I pray for every heart that's hurting for a Godly spouse. Brothers and Sisters, I agree waiting is tough and good Christians seem to be nowhere in sight, but I will continue to believe that it's all in His timing. He' s faithful. The waiting is difficult, but it's truly how my faith has increased. And while I pray for my Godly spouse daily, I have fallen more in love with Jesus. I pray in the name of Jesus for every hurting heart. 💓💓💓
Thank you Delia for the prayer. They had an opportunity at church to pray and be anointed with oil and I did it because he just seems like there's a lot of stuff that I can only do with the strength of God a relationship being one of them. Remember that where we are weak in our own strength he is strong.
Amen
Amen!
Thank you for your prayer! Loneliness and isolation, even while in the midst of a group of people, can be beyond hard. Yet, trusting in the Lord and realizing His love is far more encompassing than any other type of human love has helped tremendously through this walking (not waiting inactively) season
Amen.
Am also believing for a spouse
Church : All Married
Online: All Weirdos
Bar: Just want sex
Bible Study: All women
Mutual Friends: Again, all married
Soooo yea... 🤷🏻♀️
Singles bible study: mostly men
Baptist churches: married people and single men
That's been my experience for 20+ years.
I am telling you, so true
Wondering where these single christian guys hide at 🤔
Oh no…this has been my situation too 😅🙈
The online one is very true… I’m 21 and a Male… I find a lot of ODDDDDDD women on Christian dating apps, I may have to try Christian book stores
@@benddhookcrochets256 They are in your friend zone.
I was just thinking 🤔 about this today. It’s great to meet Christian singles, but you have to find out if they are marriage minded
The Ninth Hour or if they are willing to wait for sex for when they’re married. I have not met one ..
@@gabrielamartinyuk6438 If a guy doesn't want to wait for sex, you've got to get him to slow down and get to know you 1st. Most men Christian or non don't want to wait. Don't let that stop you from dating. Just don't put yourself in intimate situations w/them.
Gabriela Martinyuk maybe I can meet you if you haven’t met anyone lol
maybe try asking
@@criconinvestments7723 if he isn't willing to wait HE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. END OF STORY.
I'm french and a single christian man (28). And it's the same situation here in Europe. Now I am focus on Jesus and my self for now 😊
My friend and I talked about this today.oh!!! What a coincidence 🤔🤔🤔meeting Christian guys can be so challenging,but I will keep trusting God.
Temilade Adams my friend and I talked about this today as well!!🤔😊😊
Amen, so glad this was timely :)
It is possible my sistaah haha I know it seems like all the guys are overly testosteroned and childish but God is God all over the world!
Hello Temilade, you and I could be friends. I live in Seattle WA. You could meet your man through me and vise versa
@@fortuneh1851Guys I like the idea hahahaaaaaa it's a healthy one👌
Sometimes I feel like I will never meet anyone.
This video on loneliness may help czcams.com/video/E1b3OVEVOq0/video.html
I feel the same way
I am single and Godly
Ready to meet someone Godly
Same
Scheffler Jone it’s hard but we must trust in god.
We should trust God with his plans. The right one will come to us at the right time. We just need to be patient. :)
God bless
Yes, but be open to meet people and you will be surprised what God will do in your life.
exactly pray ..not my will but yours be done....and be happy where we are in life...amazing grace ikr
Just go outside & live! ✝️
I love these comments. We should be patient. But if I want a job and I pray for it...should I not go out, and do applications or do I say "God got it so I'll just sit back?"
Remember even Adam was sad when he say there wasn't a mate for him. God designed us as relational people and put the desire in us for healthy relationships, including marriage.
Although I understand your perspective. But God bless you my sister in a common faith.
In Christ!
I recall a college professor sponsored a yearly get together for Asian Indians who lived in the Southeastern U.S. At these get togethers, people networked for jobs, bought and sold businesses and homes, looked for husbands and wives. I found this unique and totally cool, a model that our culture should emulate, since so many men and women alike complain that it's hard to find someone to date or potentially marry.
Good Evening Mark, unfortunately my church is not very "active" with projects and stuff because our community is a small one, but I trust in the Lord´s providence, could you pray for me?? thank you so much for the videos, thay are very instructive, God bless you!!
Maybe try connecting with a Christian community project outside of your church or attend another local church's event, like an open mic night, conference, bible study, etc. Just a thought 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks for replying, I agree with you, I will make a search for such events, God Bless you!!
I agree with Breno Santos, I’d like to know how to get involved more, my church isn’t that active either...
In my church is the same 😅, for some reason that point is always avoid it, but i think if you dont have a call to chastity, you could be proactive and look, you know camps, mission trips, activitys with other churchs and always with the guide of God you will find someone😊🙏
Breno Santos
Man, me too. I’m a part of a church plant in Spokane, and it’s rough out here. I’m not hideous hah. Trying to follow God’s lead where I’m at.
Good thoughts/ points Mark ! My further comment would be that the churches in Malaysia predominantly consist of 1) senior citizens. 2) young families (who are about my age). 3) just out of college or teenagers.
There seems to be a gap for the millennials & I don’t think the churches here are doing a good job in creating opportunities for singles to meet. Sermons are focused on marriage, families missions etc. The best posture eventually is to trust that God has a good plan.
I agree that the church often forgets singles, I talk about that more here: czcams.com/video/ZPjjxtN5PEc/video.html
You are describing the churches on Long Island.
@@petersmith2040 Not necessarily. But its the only place to meet a Christian, at least here in NY.
I'm a 50 year old woman. I have been divorced for 8 years now. Finding friendly people at church is even hard to come by these days. I just continue to pray, wait on God and make myself available.
I know the feeling. I'm 57 and meeting women for friendship has always been a challenge for me. Maybe because i love in So. California. Hopefully, the Lord will reveal a partner and more women friends when He knows the time is right. Good luck with finding more friends and a future life partner. As Matthew said, we have to put ourself out there with more believers to increase our chances of finding Christians to get to know. God Bless You. 🙏💕 🙋♀️
I'm Chris we could talk if you like I'd like the you know the perspective of a Christian sister on scripture
I went to Bible studies and young adult groups I'm 33 and it just always seems like even in those groups where everybody is supposed to talk and share people split off and they don't really meet new people they spend time with the people that they know so it doesn't really help a group grow. Or leave much room for anything else . There was one girl in my group that I wanted to talk to and get her perspective on different scripture and she left and left me with all men so.
Francine, that is so true. The church has married, couples events, and children and youth events, yet hardly anything for Christian Singles. Its hard waiting, but His timing is perfect.
Church is one of the best places to meet someone? Ha, I wish! It should be, but it isn't. In a lot of churches, there seems to be a gap in the 20s-30s age group. Churches consist of people over the age of 60, teenagers and families. So if you're single and are hoping to be married or at least meet someone some day, there is literally nothing for you. There are no 'groups' for you to belong to, and this doesn't help with the 'networking' thing.
Even if you were to try other churches in your area, I don't know if it would yield good results, as people tend to sit in the same places, talk to the same people and they don't tend to talk to anyone outside their group, unless they're at a Bible study or prayer meeting. Basically, the reason why so many of us aren't getting married can be summed up in these 3 words: lack of opportunity. In the meantime, church leaders wax lyrical about timing and waiting on God, and making people feel that the reason why they're still single is because they're not mature enough - when in reality, the opportunities to meet someone are few and far between.
True.
Fully agree....when they talk about timing and God's plan I tune out. I don't even talk about it anymore. No groups for us and my friends are all atheists
Absolutely spot on! Been my experience for last 8 years. Pastors and leaders, happily married, unknowingly keep singles on a road of "just keep seeking God"
"Be part of the body, and serve" etc etc.
Reality is, the inner pining for a partner still remains... and hugging a pillow at night with tears is an untouched topic in most church gatherings.
“You have to be around other people” *sweats in INFJ*
haha... INFJ here, I totally get what you are saying!
😁🥲
The INFJ have gathered. Hello.
Even this outgoing INFJ struggle with 15 people talking at once. If it's a tiny group or one on one is the only way I can talk. Usually through networking.
Hello Mark,
I've been a Christian since I was 27 and I'm now 37. I've prayed daily since then and as part of the daily prayers I've asked the Lord for a Godly Christian women like the one mentioned in proverbs 31. I do desire marriage and not the gift of singleness. I love God first above all things and I'm waiting for the Lord to send the right women in his time.
I've been active and tried on-line christian dating without success. I've asked women out but been rejected. There aren't any single dating christian events to attend in the city where i'm from so the opportunity to meet single christian women is extremely difficult if not impossible! In the church I attend the aren't any single women. Many of the churchgoers are elderly and those close to my age are already married. I just wait on the lord.
The same
I’m 29, and I am going through the same thing. To be honest, it’s a lot of feminine men at the Churches I attend (I can’t stand to refer to someone as gay) the rest of the guys are married or elderly. Ahhh! It’s so hard. I’m celibate and obedient, and it’s been years and I still haven’t found a great guy.
divine providence I'm a single 39 yr old Christian woman and it would be nice to meet a Christian guy that is so funny and very caring and loving.That would enjoy holding my hand while walking at night and admiring the moon and the stars and talk about different things.Theres a reason for everything and timing is everything.God works mysterious ways.I would love to have a Christian husband to love and to cherish everyday of my life.Thats my philosophy in life.God bless you!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
divinen providence it might be difficulty but don loose heart hold on to God's promised He'l surely show up.
Will pray. Also, ask those who rejected you , why. We are to be more ready to listen than to speak. It could be dress, style, health, grooming. These aren’t sins nor are they bad. The Lord chose to move through David because he had a heart open to change. Maybe you need to lift weights a bit. Attend a Christian dating seminar. I am trying to go to Tony Gaskins seminar and maybe Mark will have one. Right there you can meet Godly people. Sometime it takes adjusting our health and style a bit. Long as you keep Jesus first and only.
Can I advertise my christian singleness here??? Haha
You just did😂✨💞
😂😂
Include a pic 😅
Yes, Tim! I’m listening! Haha
@@e.salinas6553 💀
Great tips! It can be so different when you're seriously waiting and quite knowledgeable of the red flags. it takes so much more out of you. The wait really requires so much intentionality and focus. Dating will require aligning in prayer to ensure God reveals your purpose partner. Wishing all waiting, to be patient and strong, allow God to choose the right person for you. Remember, But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isa. 40:31).
I’m an Introvert and only have a couple of close friends. I think lots of friends is highly overrated. 😊
Hi thr
Same. I’m a 20 year old man who is introverted. I should probably try going to church
Yeah.... The smaller the circle the safer it is.
So much truth .... thank you again Mark . Your Christian single videos are awesome.
Thanks Pastor for bringing this theme to us!! 😊🙏
You are welcome!
Thanks mark that's very insightful concepts will definitely try socializing more after working 5 days a week with people I like to relaxed home on the weekends
Indeed this has been me xoxo
Since I have one off day in a week. Hmmm!!
This routed me here on my birthday. Hahahahaha. This is true. We should expand our network for us to know the person God has for us.
Awesome I loved this🏵and it is very true and helpful! God bless you Mark!🙂
Nice haircut, Mark!
hahaha, thanks, I needed one bad :)
It's good to know this by mixing around more with other Christian's. But sometimes it's challenging to find out whose not interested in dating and those who are. That's why, I made that big mistake I will never forget. But your quite right but we should discern in seeing where that relationship goes too.
Excellent commentary. Thank you
I like your idea that you want to be around other people in general; and if you're a Christian, you want to be around other Christians. And obviously needs to be a good fit.
You have to like each other. 🤔💟
Yep! YOu ca'nt just see any old person and be like "OMG they are the opposite sex I should marry them!"
Exactly! People think Christians should marry other Christians just because they have the same belief. I had a friend who tried to set me up with a guy that I was not interested in. I explained to her that just because me and somebody share a belief in Christianity does not mean that we are compatible that I actually have to have a connection with the person.
@@ebonysmith9564 I agree 💯 I had a similar story with a relative.
@@ebonysmith9564... you really need to be equally yoked and at least your partner believes in God. Better still if saved. Marriages are problematic if not. Of course if both unsaved fair enough but if one partner gets saved and the other doesn't, the sparks can sure fly for years. Satan really picks on those ones. That's my situation.
Yes indeed ,I agree very informative.
I'm so glad this was helpful to you :)
1) Working on a social life but I have a lot of hobbies that are keeping me busy 2) Trying to find a group to belong to 3) Really want to do this but money is an object
I am about 6 months in to being renewed in the spirit of my mind having gave up "recreational relationships" and choosing to be celibate until marriage. I am born again and spirit filled but not really a church kinda guy...I've never actually dated a Christian woman (a deal breaker going forward). My unsolicited advice: Don't be afraid to ask/knock when it seems like the right time. If you're attracted to someone and they seem like a good fit- make a move. You quickly adapt to that particular type of emotional risk which can be exhilarating and it's quite possibly the only way you'll meet that special someone that you'll actually be excited to spend the rest of your life with. God helps those who helps themselves, etc! BE BOLD
Thanks for this word..I pray to meet my own man too
It's my prayer too to meet my man
I tried groups, and people are hesitant! Like they show no interest in dating. I gave up on groups and used Holy app and found her. Praise Jesus!
What’s holy app?
Thanks for teaching on this!

I am a single guy
@yculmer what is you’re Instagram?
Thanks
At church: all married, 14 years old, or 140 years old 😅😭. Let alone trying to find two people who are mutually attracted to each other.
Couldn't have said it better myself
😂 right? lol very relatable.

I’m so grateful for this video
@AshleyShanea What is your Instagram?
This is wonderful, God bless you Brother
So glad it was helpful!
On July 28th I meet my spiritual mom Nephew. We had a musical program and I don't know anything about him. My great granddad told me that I will soon meet him in a church. I don't know he loves poems bc I write poems too. He's 37 and I'm 37. We text every day and he goes to church and I go to church. He asks me questions I ask him questions. He told me that he wanted to talk to me when he first saw me. I prayed and prayed and prayed. I'm just more happy that he's is a minister a true man of God.
Repent and Believe
Yes, he's a great friend and we just had lunch for the first 2 days ago. It's going great so its all up to GOD on this one.
Surely 3 and 7 are from the Holy Spirit. The first matrimony on this Earth was ordained by God Jesus in His Word, HalleluYAH. And His favorite numbers are 7 and 3. The Bible is full of 7 and of 3, Praise the Lord.
Go up to people and say hello. To make friends and to date.
Your videos are so great!
Great stuff. Thanks👍🏼
Nanushka Jordan 👍
Do you think someone can meet their spouse at the wrong time? Or when they feel they are not spiritually ready?
k J Absolutely. This happened to someone I know. The two dated for a while, but then they broke up. Several years later, they started dating again. They've now been married 10 years with 3 children. God brings people together at the right time, as well.
Sure, just because you meet someone doesn't mean you must date right then. You should always wait to date if you are not spiritually ready to honor Christ.
I have just watched this video on CZcams. As for me I'm also a Single Godly, religious guy and the type of woman that I like is a Christian woman, just like I'm a Christian guy. The only problems with meeting them is that they aren't really that many Christian Single women here in Washington State that are in my age group, the Singles events are too far away from where I live and also they take place on a day that I might be busy with work or doing something else and it interferes with my schedule, honestly :-).
Scott Brockman kindly how can we reach you we have programmes in our church for singles n ready to mingle.contact me here
Thanks Pastor Mark!!!

@@derivboomtrader6928 hey
I have a good connection through my church and I did meet someone but he turned out to be a real dirtbag. I've been praying about this daily and reaching out but I am looking forward to becoming financially stable first before actually dating again because the last relationship I had really hurt the trust I had in men.
Sorry to hear this RoseofSharon, dirtbags don't make good husbands....glad you moved on from him
So I am I, I'm still healing from it. I know God has the right guy out there for me somewhere.
RoseofSharon keep praying about it
RoseofSharon I had a similar experience too. I am just focusing on myself now. The right guy will come along when you least expect it !
Yup, when you least expect it.
Love 💕 this 😀🙏
Awesome to meet single christian guys soon
THANK YOU SIR.
So I'm an introvert, I can maintain a couple of close friendships. I'm super confident but without a drink atm I'm quite stressed in big groups. I've met many girls that I think are lovely, interesting and that I enjoy talking to, but 1 in 50 odd is attractive to me (big sample size at uni). I don't know if I can force attraction and I've been hurt greatly by building attraction over time in a friendship with somone that I was not initially attracted to.
Now, these days I ride bikes and have many friends that ride mountain bikes, but all these people are guys and very very few are christian. If I quit Mtbing, I stop mixing with non Christians. However, I don't know how to manage, extra-church events, all my other responsibilities, and continue mixing with non-christians. It all seems impossible. I've just finished my Masters in Mechanical and Electrical Eng at one of the more competitive universities, so this could be a part of the lack of time issue. I certainly had more free time on placement working in research !
Joshua I guess instead of joining guy groups only will not help since you are searching, not saying you do away with them, but join unisex groups like cooking classes, gym classes, church groups, bible study groups, christian libraries among others . just do what you enjoy with no intentions of meeting some one actually and I believe you will.
Praise Jesus.
WOLVES in Sheeps' clothing. Single ministries take weekend trips together. Getting together and doing what comes naturally also includes non-Christian premarital XXX. True Christians aren't supposed to lead others into Non-Christian conduct. I've seen it happen more than once.
I agree with the overnight trips. Its wrong. Not all are called under the name of single ministries. But the same idea applies. I need time to pray and evaluate.
I did not hear this guy mention premarital sex with non-christians anywhere is his speech...I always find it amazing there are people so quick to judge and label someone as a wolf without actually listening to what the person actually says. God knows the true intention of the heart! “True” Christians forgive, lift up other Christians and display God’s grace as God has so graciously done for us. I have been on Christian mission trips and it is NOT a sex party and non-Christians and Christians work side by side...eventually non-Christians experiencing and wanting the love and compassion displayed by Christians and go on to accept Christ as their savior. Christians are the Lord’s vessel through which change impacts non-Christians....we can’t impact others by staying in a bubble...we are to go out and spread the good news! We are to love our brother...it does not mean we must agree with their behavior or participate, but we are called to Love the unlovable as God loves us.
Lastly....we have control over our minds and bodies....overnight mission trips with the opposite sex is NOT a sin....you don’t sleep in the same bed or tent! People are so focused on providing care, overwhelmed by the need, and too exhausted at the end of the day that it takes every ounce of energy to eat and make it back to your room....clearly there are different levels and commitments required and expected on mission trips...there is nothing sexy or attractive about going days without a shower, covered in insect bites, and limited access to clean water!
Very helpful
So good!

When Christians get together at church or after it's called " FELLOWSHIP 🙏😀 God bless you brother.
Thk you for wisdom about God's Will. But I when you mentioned Christian workplaces where you talking about church.? Other than that , I never thought that existed.. ( Carlene Quebec , Canada )
There are several christian singles conferences that occur around the world. I've attended the National Christian Singles Seminar, which takes place Labor Day weekend in different cities around the US. It's mostly attended by African-Americans in the Church of Christ but is open to all. I just Googled "christian conference" and several came up. You might have to travel a bit. I attended conferences in Houston, Indianapolis, and Phoenix and enjoyed each one. Although I didn't meet anyone I connected with, there were great experiences. My niece attended one in Bermuda. If you can't find one, maybe start one yourself! It can be "Christians & Coffee" at a local coffeehouse or diner. It doesn't have to be a large event.
The only time in my life I was around a large group of christian singles was my college campus ministry...20 years ago.
Another point, you may have to move or travel to meet someone. I attended one congregation for 15 years and there were maybe 2 other single people (not including the widowed/divorced). I now attended a different congregation (for unrelated reasons) and although there are only handful of singles, I met someone I never would have considered before. I agree with keeping God first and serving him and others. When there are extra church services or events, I'm typically one of three singles in attendance. The rest are married or families. I've shared with God my desire to be in a loving, godly marriage but I've also asked him to write my love story. And as we all know God can write the most beautiful love stories! It's in His time, not mine.
Hello
Hey Mark
I was wondering if you could answer more questions relating to scripture itself. In a lot of your old videos you use the Bible to answer a lot of questions, but here it's more of just answering people's question. Don't get me wrong I love it and I love getting my questions answered but how does it apply God's Word if God's Word isn't used in the answer? Thanks for the content, love the videos.
Amen!!!!!!!!
Hello Mark..just found your channel and have been enjoying your videos; please give me your opinion on christian dating online sites especially for someone like me who works a busy schedule, has been married before, is over 50 and just doesn't feel comfortable throwing themselves out there somewhere in the dating pool. I am a believer and I have been blessed to have a church home for over 25 years and I do want to get married again. Thank you again for your channel; it has been a real blessing to me..take care.
BABY BEAR Since I don’t see Mark’s reply, I’ll jump right in and give Christian Dating Sites a 👎! Well, I give All Dating Sites a 👎! But, that’s just me! Mark has some great points here! After all this, God willingly, I’ll plan a missions trip! I’ve been attending different church functions, and just getting out of my comfort zone! But, most importantly->trusting and believing for God’s best for me💝May God Bless, and I Thank God in advance for the Mighty Works He is about to do, cause He Works All things out for the good for those who ❤️ Him, for those who are called according to His Purpose🌊👍💌
Our church has this arrangement where we have the pastor arranges for pple to date n marry,i neva appreciated the wisdom behind this idea but in recent years i have come to appreciate it, unfortunately i haven't seen anyone in church that i like
My life has been work, home, church. I've never come across anyone I was interested in. The church I've been attending in the past 12 years had no Christian single men my age. I was never attracted to anyone there either. I'm turning 47 and beginning to worry.
Hi Mark, what is your insight about online dating in meeting a genuine godly man? Thank you for your feedback. I really like your videos.
I think it is a good option for some people. It has its problems but I think it is a good option when people are struggling to meet other singles. I talk about it more here czcams.com/video/frp4dj1X_Dk/video.html
My sister met her husband that way. She never dated much but you only need 1!
My Christian friend met her husband online. But I will say that method does not work for everyone.
I am single and searching ladies
Scheffler Jone - what do you look for in a Christian woman if I may ask?
Very informative and it makes a whole lot of sense. You can’t meet other Christians staying at home.
8:28 Unless that certain type of fish I am willing to catch jumps into my boat itself... :D just kidding.
This is actually my case. I just realized that I have been purposely avoiding to throw my hook into the water at all.
I have so many Christians single girlfriends in Santo Domingo, DR. Great ladies . FYI guys lol
Cuantos anos tienen ellas

How do you know as a christian if ur just not going to get a partner?

Mark, can you create a virtual place for us to all chat? There must be a way. Or at least where we could at least put our names and locations, who knows many of us could be in the same city/ state. I could totally help you with it, as I know you have a ton of work on your hands as it is.
Hi justina
Where are you from
Justyna I like your idea! :) Hope it can work!
wow brilliant i dea..im looking for a network area like that so i can connect to pple..tnx
Apparently this didn't go anywhere, haha.
I'm a Christian ( i play 🎹 and sing) 31years, I'm single never married... why is it so difficult to meet Christian sisters? and the concept of marriage to most people is trash ( everyone'slookingfor something Temporary) focused on making more money, even our sisters... how do we find a genuine love, a godly love, a pure love in this generation?
Faith and trust🙏
5:10-5:20 I don't find that controversial at all!! I actually agree with that possibility too!
On sundays I dont know how but When church starts a christian spirit enters all the women ... singing songs like they can literally see Jesus coming to earth... praise and worship like never before ... shout hallelujah during sermon... clap hands... praise god... pray with weird face expressions like that's the end of the world... shout Woo when pastor speaks about how great is gods love..
The moment you approach these women/girls they will start judging you, they want to focus more on their boobs, butt shapes, facebook, Instagram likes and posts , their pets...
No one wants to know the real you...
Hahaha, Richard your answering most of their questions why they are still in the water. Hahahah
15 years I was in these 3 types of scenerio but havent met the guy who wants to marry me and I want to marry him too or even a date. I kinda feel hopeless and discouraged lately. I watched many of yr video and looked back and saw what could have gone wrong. Now Im 37. I' m freak out that I might end up staying single through the rest of my life. In my country churches are full of single ladies. You are so blessed to have found yr wife at a young age. Please speak hope to me.
Shelah Vong, I'm in the same boat, there just seems to be a lack of good guys. But what I've learned this past year is that I've been putting too much emphasis on wanting a guy (even though I believed that I wasn't). I started realizing that I wasn't placing God first. I have to trust God so much that even if I am single for the rest of my days is that I can accept his will. Besides God knows what my heart yearns. Does this mean that I stop hoping and praying? Of course not. It's only now I look at life differently. I try to work on myself and do the things that are on my heart at that moment. There is a time for everything, just learn how to be patient and live in the moment. Continue conversing with others and be kind. Honestly look at yourself and see where you might be going at it incorrectly. Always work on yourself. I'm not one for online dating, but you can try that. But most of all, never stop hoping! Cause you freaking out is only a sign that you don't trust God with the plan for your life. Its going to be okay, praying for you :)
Chydova Thank you so much. My dad is with his girlfriend. My mom passed away in January. My brother is with his girlfriend. We dont have good relationship. I just felt like i dont have anyone left in my life. I Do have hope for life after death and want to live life to glorify God. But everything just seems meaning less to me right now. I m very very depressed. I do not want to kill myself because I dont want to sin and I dont want people who know me to feel terrible and of cause that is not glorifying God. But it s too hard to continue this life alone. Please pray for me for God' s wisdom and light to shine in the dark area if my life. I want to find a real joy in him again. I was single for five years and i was fine. But after i left the church after noticed that they are a hoax and my mom passed away, i m in deep loneliness and confusion. I forgave people and myself but still have a lot of fear. Long story but dont want to watse yr time. I appreciate your kindness.
Cast your burden on the Lord , and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalms 55:22 ESV
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you."
Isaiah 41:13 ESV
Thus says the Lord : "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.
He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord , whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17:5-8 ESV
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV

Don't lose hope. I know how you feel! The church I go to doesn't have any single women as they're all married or already in relationships. I'm 37 and have been single all my life and have never experienced a relationship but I trust God will bring the right women at the right time. Please don't feel discouraged but please take a look at scripture Philippians 4:6. God bless.
Alex D. Thank you so much. I will meditate on these scriptures.
It's hard for me, when I have only very few friends, then lockdown in our country cause of pandemic and every one is busy with work from. Home jobs. No one is meeting up personally, there are event but our church always separate single men from. Women,... But I will. Keep. Praying, Been praying for. More than a decade now. I will. Not lose. Hope. GOD has a plan.
"You will catch zero fish unless you cast your net." Truth.
How could you know if the girl in the church is really a Christian or not? She can sings, reading poems, dress nicely but this is not all... Many of Christian people are only Christians in churches and outside they act different. Is there a way you can make a difference between the right girl for you or not or her past matters for you as well?

Get to be friends first
By trying to know her
Befriend them, and see how they are. You can't know someone you don't associate with.
You shall know them by there fruits. Be friends first
Best way to find a good partner is to improve yourself!
We really need meeting to make us meet.
What if you don’t have very many close people at your church because one you’re too busy or too they’re too busy and what if at your church there are no singles at all? I don’t really have any singles at my church and a lot of the people who are married are too busy for me to get to know? Also I don’t have the time to do mission trips. So what do you suggest for someone like me and all those situations where those aren’t really options for someone like me?
So, my question is this. How do I reach out to people who are not in the same church as me and not part of the same friendship groups. How do Christians in those kind of situations get to know people? I think that dating is very subjective and how do Christians who may not know each other form dating relationships? I think that you’re answering questions for people who have friendships with other Christians. What about Christians that don’t have friendships with other Christians? What advice do you have for people who are dating people they don’t know? I don’t think it’s impossible for someone to date someone they don’t know and I think Christians to wanna ask out other Christians they don’t know need to know how they do that?
Just trust in God
my siblings met all their spouses in college
Hi martina thom u are nice
Ugh , I’m 57 and still want to have a partner ,I have men that are interested but I want someone my age that loves the lord . And is willing to date and get married , but if that never happens I truly love Jesus and he is the greatest love of my life !
You posted a year ago.
Are you still available?
I'm a widower, 67 years young!!
I'm in northwest corner of Arizona.
Where are you?
In my area everyone is already married and or elderly. I'd like to start a loving christian family before it is too late.
Thank you
I go to church and I can’t even get asked for a coffee date/dinner date...nothing 😪so I stay home 😔
I have been trying to speak to a guy at Grace church and it's like he's playing games. Sometimes he wants to say hi and at other times he ignores me. I did myself a favor and ignored him fully and now I dont see him anymore. A cup of coffee is the bare minimum some women as for...come on guys...step us and please ask us out.
Churches can be a dead loss to meet someone. My son met a very pretty much younger girl who pursued him at church and they went out for about 15 months. He was very keen but she had a bit of a secret life she didn't want to give up so he ended it. Apart from that though there are only oldies and very young at his church. It was really sad.
@@earnold1896 I don't go to Church anymore. It's so boring and definitely not the place to meet anyone.
@@Star-vg7ix I guess some people have unrealistic expectations of what their partner should look like. In saying that though there has to be a bit of an attraction maybe.
My situation is worse. I just turn 30 and I'm Still single and a virgin. I'm starting to worry if I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone.
Hello Clinton I know waiting is hard but I know people who are in 30s who are still virgins, so don't be hard on yourself😊
Clinton i am 29 also heheh but still waiting God give me a life partner
In Gods will
Don't ever be ashamed to be a virgin like God suggested until marriage... be proud! There are many bound in sex trafficking or some abusive molestation from childhood or many different ages who done sex everybody n where prostituted n raped daily n harmed their whole life. Be Happy u are pure in a sort of way. Yet surely in virginity n celibacy masturbation becomes an issue. But God provides a divine thing a way of escape called holy matrimony. A loving ordained marriage. May we both swiftly be located by our proper spouse n be forwarded for God's purpose n glory! AMEN
Ty for your Chanel . I’m 51 but no one is single in my church. And the 2 are ver 80. Please help I love to be with my other half 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍💔
Hey Mark, I have a question: Is it inappropriate to ask a young woman for her phone number at church before the service starts? It seems like this could be perceived as inappropriate because it's not the proper venue, but sometimes I overthink things like this.
Hey Grit. You should ask her out! It's difficult in this messed up world to find a good Christian women and when the opportunity comes along then seize it otherwise she'll probably get asked out by someone else and he may not be a Christian believer!! If you don't feel comfortable before the service see her afterwards and ask her then which will be easier. Good luck my friend and God bless!
Grit i would say make friend with her first and then ask her out. All do what you feel lead to at the moment. But as for me, i would feel awkward if a guy i have never known before just ask me out straight away but other women might not feel this way. One time a guy asked for my no. And i didnt give him. Later on i regreted.
dont ask for the number ask to hang out for coffee after church.If she cant ask for next sunday to go. Nothing to scare her away.If it goes well @ the coffee shop ask for her number and arrange lunch
I'm 31 from Ireland and tbh most of the men in my church are married or in their 50s. I find it near impossible to meet decent single Christian men
Maryjane Maguire same here my town is mostly old men
Can we be friends
Hello Maryjane . My son is decent and single but probably too far away.
