i believe that there are saints who married because they were convinced that it was God's will for them to do so . And yet St Paul wrote, "Do not seek a wife." How do we reconcile these two? It's not difficult: don't seek to be married, but if God at some point makes it clear that He wants you to marry someone, then do God's will. The point is to desire first and foremost to do God's will. Everything should flow from that.
I don’t think you should be passive and sit around and wait for something to happen. If you want to get married, then go find a spouse, but don’t give up when things get tough, even when it seems hopeless. Im 26 and havent had my first girlfriend yet and I really want my own kids. We need more Catholic marriages.
@@Mistah_Boombastic_BiggieCheese Be careful not to confuse what you may want with what is God's will. Be completely confident that He really desires the best for you and that He knows what is best for you. And that He has a plan for you both for the present and for the future. For the best life, follow His plan. Not your own. Trust God, not yourself. That's how you will be properly prepared for whatever your future vocation may be.
@@davegaetano7118 im miserable single. I really want my own children one day and I am starting to believe that my future wife doesn’t even exist. I havent been on a date in over 3 years and no matter how much I pray and work out, im still single. Im too short and ugly I guess. It feels scientifically and mathematically impossible for me to get married. Im desperate at 26. Im willing to marry a non catholic who will love me for who I am. I hate this. I want to be a husband and a father but im going nowhere. I dont want to be single for the rest of my life.
@@davegaetano7118 you dont get it. I sometimes hate my sexuality because I am still single at 26 and not by choice. I want a wife and kids. I hate this. Im the oldest of 4 kids and 2 of my younger siblings are about to get engaged and I have to even had my first kiss yet . It feels impossible and I dont understand why God is keeping me single.
Great counsel. Thank you Fr
Thank you so much. I really needed this. God love and bless you.

@@davegaetano7118 the desire for marriage isn’t going away at all. Its only getting stronger despite my lack of relationship experience
