Finding Girls
- Thread starter StatusQuo
- Start date
Pray that God will bring you one. Beleive it or not He is very capable of doing that, even if it means she might come by way of helping the disabled.
I pray, but I'm looking for what else I can do.
Be faithful to God. Pray without faithfulness produces nothing. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and "all of these things" will be added according to his timing and circumstances. Trust him.
Go on the dating sites. EHarmony and Christian Mingle.
Already tried those and others. Unfortunately the pop is low where I live.
Then you may have to expand your search to other areas. When I was living in SC its what I had to do.
Also it is possible that God may want you single. I do not know but thats his will for some people.
By moving, or...? I can't move, my business is here.
Maybe, but judging by 1Co 7, I don't think that's the case...
You want the girl that God has for you don't you? Be patient and wait upon him. I have lots of experience with the impatient in this area and the mess it has caused them.
And I'm guessing you also interpret god bringing eve to adam as a sign that we're not to "seek" a mate, but rather let god bring one to us?
If so, I reject the idea; it's hyper-spiritualized and made to do what it was never intended. It's also contrary to 1Co 7 which suggests we not seek a mate 'in light of this present distress,' which means the normal method is to seek.
Keep trying.
Or the women moves to you. That's what I did. I lived in Colorado, my now husband lived in Arizona so I move to Arizona when we got married. To me it just made sense that I should be the one to move.
How did you meet in order for that to even happen?
We met through Eharmony. After communicating for a couple of weeks he decided he wanted to meet me, and he flew out to Colorado to meet me. I also flew to Arizona a couple of times to see him on his turf, and than when we got married I moved in with him in Arizona.

I met my wonderful wife via plenty of fish
Oh I get you now preacher, I think... You met your wife at a Fish Fry?... Or were you fishing for men and caught a wife?... Well it could happen?... Brother Glen
Met mine I believe it was on Christian Mingle... She was looking for a husband, I was just looking for someone to talk to after losing my first wife to Kidney Cancer after 30 years of marriage... After talking to her for four hours, and on and off during the week, we set up a date to meet that weekend in an alley
... A bowling alley
... What were you thinking?... My kids were in a handicapped bowling league in San Diego, she lived in Riverside!... Just up the coast... We married a year later... Been married now for over 13 years... Does God have a sense of humor?... I was a parent of special ed children I had two, she was a teacher of Special Education children... A match made in heaven... Brother Glen
We like to tell people we met on the side of the road, since he got lost trying to find the restaurant where we were going to meet in person for their first time. He called me and I came to where he was and than he followed me to the restaurant. Ours was a bit faster than yours, as we got engaged just 10 weeks after being matched up on Eharmony, and were married less than a year later.Met mine I believe it was on Christian Mingle...
