    It would be great if there was an app for just Christian friendship. Sometimes people would no doubt end up finding love,but it wouldn't be the pressure of a dating app.

    I gave up on finding someone, I honestly think I want it too much, so that comes with package of overthinking, second-guessing, and so on.
    I'll just focus on God and that's it, it's all I need.
    It's would be nice of course to have your person for life that can help you, give you family and purpose to this life on earth, but in the end main purpose is to focus on Christ.

      @@noahnoah-cb5yt That's very difficult to do and not realistic. Most people are the best versions of themselves when they're in their 40's or 50's. But it's better to get married as soon as possible because you won't build up this history of bad habits. I know what you're saying, you should be in a good place before searching for marriage, but as long as you're not living under a bridge shooting heroin everyday, you're good. Like, you can figure out life's problems as a team, waiting for the perfect moment is never gonna happen. A lot of good husbands got married when they had $5 in their bank account.

      Then just stay single for life and casually date many different women. No problem with that, but you'd have to abandon your faith. Whether you like it or not, God wants you to be married. He wants you to be a husband. So even when you don't think you can find a good girl for you, just remember that you are supposed to be a husband. It might not be your will, but it's His will, so there's nothing you can do. If you're not married, you're not fulfilling His will, at least in part. I'm 25 and I'm struggling, but I just know that I'm supposed to be a husband, so what am I gonna do? Well, by 35 I'm gonna start lowering my standards a bit and just settle with one because it's better to be married to an imperfect woman than to be alone waiting for the perfect woman. You can have a good conversation with a man, you can have fun with a man, with your friends. So if you can do that, that means sexuality is not necessary to have fun with your wife and really like someone. If my wife is ugly, so what? I'm not trying to find the hottest woman I can sleep with, I'm trying to find a life partner. My family has called me crazy for some of the girls that I brought home just because "she's too ugly" for me. So, if your wife is not a 22-year-old blond who loves to sit on your face everyday, don't worry. At least she knows your complete meal plan, takes care of you when you're sick, and laughs at your stupid jokes.

As much as that breakup might have hurt, she did the right thing, and you should follow in her footsteps and follow Jesus. In my church, over 100 nationalities meet to worship God... you can't tell me it doesn't bring people together! May God bless you richly and reveal His love to you as the new year comes.
