    While reading comments about people saying that they’re in their 20s and tired about being single, what about those who are above 60s and 70s and have never been married and yet desire having a spouse and family of their own? As you age the loneliness is real

      Yes. I'm in 60s and want to marry again and it's been challenging. At 60 people have baggage and trust issues. Women out number men. The men I meet are often scared to get hurt so they refuse to marry. It's freakin rough!

    I appreciate your willingness to confront criticism. I'm 29 and have been single my whole life and it's hurtful to see young Christian couples because it makes me feel despondent and doubtful towards God. I recognize this to be wrong though, so I frequently repent and try to be grateful instead, even to be happy for them. It's a struggle for me because I don't want to be negative, I don't want the devil to win. One issue I take with this video is the idea that singleness is the time for a closer relationship with God. Marriage is literally a work for God, it helps build nations! Having kids raises children for God and creates citizens for Heaven! Lastly I pray that Sadie can get past her health problems, I'm sorry to hear about that.

      Ralph, I am much older than you are and still single. In my life I have come across so many married folks giving advice trying to tell me how to 'crack the code'. While there is a lot we can learn from other people's experience, they are never infallible, or applicable to every person out there.. the ONLY infallible source of wisdom is to be found in the Scriptures. There, we are commanded and encouraged to ask, keep on asking, and we shall receive - we don't have to 'trick' God by pretending that we don't really want what we have in our hearts...

    I’m sorry to hear that your previous video was not received well. I can see why people took offence as the message came from the perspective of a married couple rather than a single person.
    But personally as a single Christian in my late 20s, I was edified by your message. It reaffirmed a message God has planted in my heart that I need to seek first the kingdom of God, not so that my needs are met, but that I can become more and more like the person He wants me to be. And He adds/removes different things to our lives to do that, one of those things may or may not be a spouse.
    Keep encouraging those around you. We need more Christian content on UA-cam ❤

    I’ve been rejected nonstop for 8.5 years. I’m not awkward, and there’s really nothing wrong with me. I have ambition, goals, and am working on myself to be the best I can be for the Kingdom. Godly women have never shown interest in me. It is what it is but I’m trying my best. I’m fine being single but I hate that I always have been single, so that’s the difference. I’m only 26 and already the last of my friends and family to be in this season.
    What would you say to Someone who keeps getting rejected no matter what? It makes me not want to pursue Godly women
    I will say this though, you can’t tithe your way to a spouse. That’s a pay to pray scheme.

    • @maryannvalerio9869
      @maryannvalerio9869 6 місяців тому +9

      weird! I always got the impression that single Christian women far outnumbered single Christian men, and so men would have a really easy time finding someone. I'm also 26 and have gotten nothing but rejection from Christian men...but for some reason, ex-Christian atheist men are all over me! Here's one piece of advice that I think the Lord has taught me from my journey: don't come across desperate. I think the reason why I never get accepted by Christian guys (other than that, in hindsight, it's clear we weren't the ones God had for each other), is that I look at EVERY Christian guy as my potential future husband and really try to win his affections and hang around him all the time, in a way that comes across really forced and is actually super offputting. Whereas, with ex-Christian atheists/agnostics, I sort of go into a hangout with the assumption that, oh, I'm NEVER going to date this person, so I'll just act natural and we can be friends and then they are really into me. Now I'm not saying to go and date a bunch of non-Christians, of course, but what I will say is...maybe try to not think of EVERY Christian girl as potentially your God-given wife, and assume that you are just meeting a new friend and you will NOT be dating this person. You'll find yourself acting a lot more natural and less desperate, and then maybe some young lady will realize you seem pretty cool and actually express interest. Wishing you all the best, brother. Being a Christian single in one's mid-twenties is not a fun ride :(

      As superficial as it might seem, you also need to pay attention to how you look: fitness, grooming, clothing. I obviously don't know anything about you, but if one or more of those things are way off, that could be a reason for rejection. Those things are not superficial when you think about them after all, they signal that you're healthy, you take care of yourself and that you have your life in order. Also, like the other comment already mentioned, if you come off as desperate or needy, it will turn off girls very fast.

      @@maryannvalerio9869 nope, men will always struggle. The only women that struggle are physically unattractive ones unfortunately. I don’t want to sound mean but it’s true. Women are more likely to be comforted by others and have the choice to distance themselves. Women can ask their friends to be introduced without sounding desperate. From what I’ve read regarding your comment, the Christian you have pursued don’t see you as desperate. It’s likely that they are actually cautious about misleading you if they are unsure about you vs the men of the world who think you’re cute but can get away with more if you allow yourself. So good job in keeping those men away, and be patient for the right man. I sympathize with you, but I find it funny when women complain about being single for a little while and claim to have trouble finding a man when there’s men out there who have been single for at least a decade and are more discouraged in finding comfort elsewhere because they are seen as desperate, undesirable, etc. I know a guy who’s 32, nice guy but a lot of people including the women in Church see him as someone with that made up ADHD and treat him like they feel sorry for him but never say I want to get to know this guy better. The women who are still single is by choice, the only women I sadly see struggle are the physically unattractive ones. Men on the other hand are seen like Robert Di Nero’s taxi driver if they are 30 plus years and single if they are shy or have a serious character. Most Church women from what I see love the trouble makers, or the ones that act like clowns. I joke but not to the extent that gets me noticed like that. I guess my serious attitude is my crime, all of a sudden I am seem boring. It might be my negative mindset but what else can I feel.

    Thank you for the clarifying video! I agreed with most of your last video, and had no issue with it, and I agree with this one also! I think one thing that is hard is that y’all still got married VERY young, and so your single season just wasn’t even close to as long as many Christians who are watching. I’m a 25 year old woman, who’s very single, after my ex broke up with me after 4 years a while ago. the longer I’m single, not only do I get lonelier, but my biological clock keeps ticking, which makes the possibility of having many kids easily and naturally decrease. And I can’t even imagine how people older than i feel who are single! Ultimately, this is an issue with us viewers, and not y’all at all. I think you both have beautiful hearts. I think just be mindful of how young you really are, and how many of us thought we would be married at y’all’s age, but are still waiting many years later. So even being single for 1 or 2 years for y’all is just the tip of the iceberg for many others watching. We all have to trust God to light our own paths thru life.

    I'll be honest probably halfway thru your last video this is referring to I was offended and pushed thru listening to it, because there's pain in my heart to a degree, and disappointment sometimes that my story hasn't looked like yours at all, though that's what I've wanted for a long time. After several relationships including a failed engagement, I've grown jaded towards younger people who tell me "oh you just need to do this" etc. I know I need to still work it out with God, I have my highs and lows, I do trust the Lord. At 35 years old now I'm learning to be content in my singleness. God is good all the time, appreciate your willingness and transparency to share about this, God bless you two and don't be ashamed of where you're at in life!! Or your position, own it and be proud 😊

It was personally really encouraging for me as a single christian in my early thirties who is struggling right now with being in this season, so much so that I noted a couple of points down in my journal. To me it was a reminder to seek first the kingdom of God, and to hold the desire to be married with an open hand because ultimately he is what matters above everything else. Even if it’s his will that I never marry. Also to my memory, I believe you outrightly said in the video that one shouldn’t pursue God to get something out of him. Anyway, thought I should say.

      BLAME single people for following the ‘advice’. That’s EXACTLY what they described, married people DID that to get a spouse.

      I personally was encouraged, not because they're married but because they made some good points that I related to with regards to what I've been learning recently. Perhaps I shouldn't have insinuated that others shouldn't have taken it the wrong way, that's a fair point. I'd like to think that their heart behind it wasn't to be patronizing. It feels unreasonable (to me) to say that married christians can't ever comment or attempt to encourage single christians because they're married but maybe there are better ways of doing it. But yeah, for sure it can sometimes be patronizing or even discouraging.
      I'm most definitely not putting anyone on a pedestal nor did I mean to vilify anyone. They're not better or more loved by God than you and I, just because they're married.

    I see no smugness in either of you. Your love for God, each other, and your viewers is evident. But for some of those viewers, it's just very hard to hear, from younger married people, the whole "trust in God and draw close to Him" line we've heard for years now with no answer to our prayers for a spouse. It's not the right response from us, but even so, we might think, "easy for you to say because you're married!"
    I would encourage you, not because your intentions are bad (they're obviously not) or you view yourself as better than singles (you obviously don't), to humble yourselves and see that maybe the answer for folks in the situation isn't always as simple as "be content." I know people who are married who were not content when they got married. But God worked with them within their marriage to get there, or is still working with them to do so.
    Being content is the goal for every Christian, but it clearly is not the answer for every single person. However, singles should strive for that and go to God always just as couples should. But I don't have all the answers or I wouldn't have watched this or the other video. LOL

While there is a lot we can learn from married people, the listening and understanding needs to be mutual. The Body of Christ has enough divisions already, and the saddest I have seen, is not between different ethnic groups, or men / women, but the friction between singles and married people.

    Dear anyone desiring a partner,
    There is a reason for everything---absolutely everything. Most times it's beyond our understanding. Sacrifice your worries to Him and trust his timing. Use your singleness as a time for self growth. Whatever traits you want in a partner, make sure you also have those traits. Become the absolute best version of yourself and fall in love with every aspect of who you are. Eventually you'll be ready to step out of your comfort zone and mingle. Every pot has a lid and there is someone out there for you, meeting that person at the right time in your life is crucial. There are people who meet the right person but at the wrong time and the relationship can't thrive. When you meet the special person, you'll value them even more because you had to patiently wait to be with them.

    • @NarnianLady

      Many of us have been out of our comfort zone for decades.. it has not brought us the blessing of marriage.. at this point I believe it is by God's direct divine action alone. If the potential man is not willing, then nothing I do or say, can make him change his mind.
      Also disagree with the idea of having all of the same traits in myself... isn't the idea of partnership that we complete each other, in our different strengths and gifts? I sure don't want to have a masculine body or soul..! 😃

    This makes me sad! I completely understood what you meant in that other video. We will get a spouse if it’s God’s plan for us! Yes, we need to grow closer to him in singleness because how can we have a Christ-Centered relationship before having a genuine relationship with Christ. I felt the video was meant for me because I completely understood your video. I think people are viewing this from such a jealous spirit because they are still single. Instead of being upset about being single, pray and grow closer to God! Buy journals and prayer books and grow closer to God to become who he needs you to be to better his kingdom and the gift of marriage if it’s in your plan that God has for your life! I think people need to understand and learn to be okay with being single and accept that they may be the ones in this world that will not get married. Pray and talk to God about being single and how you feel! Ask him to reveal things to you and help you understand why you are going through the season you are in. I pray daily that God helps mold me into the woman, wife, mother, and daughter that he needs me to be so I can obtain every blessing, not just my husband but God's blessing for my life.
    God Bless everyone!

    Also Guys many people especially Christians who God is disciplining in this area like myself lol will misinterpret you and Gods word because of the deceitfulness of sin. Just preach the word like you did, study to show yourself approved so you are convinced about what God has shown you are not searching for confirmation from the comments, because people are confused here and this isn't always a great place for confirmation. Share the Bible with people and your experience is a testimony in fact your experience is very very biblical, I could go more in detail but it is. I saw your testimony on how you met and it Has God all over it, for example, God brought Eve to Adam, Rebekah to Isaac, and Sadie to Sam. Moreover, some people are called to be single, some are called to be married so you are correct. And its true the scripture is clear that being single is preferred for serving God, but for some people because of their specific situation and lust, its better they marry according to Paul. So both are good, and God is the match maker, or match breaker. God gives us the desires of our hearts when we delight in Him. Like Sam sought God and went out of his way to do Gods will, and look! God brought YOU SADIE. God always rewards, God is Good and rewards those who diligently seek Him. Your testimony is God, and its right. This subject is full of confusion, and your testimony is helping to bring clarity back to the scripture. So just keep studying scripture, so you can show yourself approved and be confident and happy about what your saying and say it sharply. The WORD OF GOD is sharper than any two edged sword, if you want to say this message better, just use more scripture when you say it!

      For some people singleness is happier, like Paul mentioned. And for bishops / pastors it’s better they marry according to Paul.
      So it depends on your specific kind of ministry, Jesus also mentioned how some people are called to be Eunuchs.
      So yes some things are better than others but it depends on your gifting and your calling. Because what’s better for one person might not be for another. Like for me God told me that I need to marry before I begin my ministry, and to me it’s obvious why it’s because of my lack of self control in lust throughout my life and walk with him.
      And it’s my fault for that, but also if I was more obedient I believe like Paul I could go without marrying and do an even greater ministry by myself because of how I could carry more suffering for Christ. But I’m no where near that level of humility and love, and I would rather be married. But God knows and God decides what we should do.
      But Paul and Jesus and most the apostles were not ever married and did great things for God. The prophet Daniel was a eunuch too, it’s not for everyone but the ministry of singleness is for those who can bear it. Because like we all know it’s a constant level of suffering to remain single especially when you’re in the ministry. So we should not forbid to marry, but being single is also still better.

Your "season" of singleness is not a season, it's a lifetime. Take the hint. This is coming from a Christian who is single too and over 30.
