Fellow group members - I wanted to encourage you to get involved with your church, your community and with a cause that is close to your heart. Especially when you are single, this can be an excellent way to remain diligent and on course. You may even meet someone special! If you're looking for a fantastic organization to support, check out http://forgottenvoices.org - a small nonprofit making a big difference in the lives of children orphaned by AIDS.

Blessings to you!
Brian

I need prayer being in a relationship is not working. Praying. To be employed again. Feeling as if I let my son down along with my self. Wandering what is true definition of LOVE

I don't know if "technically " I meet the criteria for being "single"? My wife walked out on me some six months ago, she insists that she wants a divorce. No more counseling ?

I like being single; I am a female and I would like a real christian female for a friend who would like to witness with me and shop and go places.  I live in Cottonwood AZ. and I live alone and I had to do away with my TV and I only have a radio to get the news other than my internet.  my email is franvin333@hotmail.com

Hey Matt, There are some questions that need to be asked as to you remarrying.

1. Did you divorce your wife or did she divorce you? The Bible, in I Corinthians 7:10-16, tells us that, as a christian, we are to remain with our mate, as long as they are willing to stay with us. If they leave, I believe it proves they are not of Christ, and we are to let them go in peace and we are free to move on to a new life. If you are the one who divorced her, then you should attempt a reconciliation. Which brings up the second question.

2. Has she remarried? If so, a reconciliation is, most likely, not possible, since chances are, she will refuse to leave her new husband. However, we have a God of grace, and although you sinned in divorcing her, Jesus' blood on the cross is sufficient to cover all our sin, past and future. (This is not to say we should sin because it is covered, as Jesus paid an unspeakable price for our sins. Therefore, to sin with the attitude that we will be forgiven is a trampling on the sacrifice He paid for us. Besides, if we are in Christ, we are now dead to sin. Romans 6:1-7) Remember, Jesus said that all sin is forgivable except the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which basically is to deny Christ as Lord and Savior, since it is the work of the Holy Spirit to draw us to Christ. So, the divorce can be forgiven as well, and since you can't reconcile, I believe you are allowed to remarry. Paul, in I Corinthians 7:8-9, wrote that it is better for one to marry than to "burn with passion". If she has not remarried, and you have sincerely tried to reconcile with her, and she refuses, then it is on her for not reconciling, which I believe to be equal to her leaving you, and you, again, are to let her go in peace.

3. Are you unwilling to consider a reconciliation with your unmarried ex-wife, after you divorced her? Then, you are not free to remarry, and if you do you will be guilty of committing adultery.

 

I hope this helps. May I suggest that you read both the Book of Romans and I Corinthians in their entirety to get a grasp of several issues, especially marriage and sexual immorality. God bless you, as you seek Him.

Ahhh singlehood...story of my life, also.  One thing I have learned:  being unhappy and depressed will never bring about what you desire.  What I haven't learned:  How to become "unperfectionistic!" LOL Some say singlehood is a gift, some disagree.  I personally see it as both:  God clearly indicates his love for singles in struggling mode, (i.e. his extra protection for widows/never marrieds and fatherless, stranger and orphan, etc.--these words are only mentioned about 200+ times throughout the Bible!), and...not such a gift:  the loneliness that accompany amongst other not-so-friendly feelings, etc.  Learning to become loving toward yourself will help attract the right partner, though, I laugh as I say this, b/c I haven't found Mr. Compatable yet either.  Feel free to lend me your thoughts here! :)  God bless!  Also:  @April below:  I happen to have the exact SAME profile photo on FB! :)

Im young and single.  Being a teenager can be tough with the whole dating scene add that with being a Christian and saving myself for marriage makes it even harder. While most teens are sexually active I am not and plan to stay that way. This makes dating very difficult. I am 18 and hope and have prayed for a REAL and Christian based relationship. Still waiting somewhat patiently for God to respond :)

I am divorced and have been single for five years...spending time with the Lord and learning through his word who I am in him. The joy of the Lord is my strength. I love Him with all my heart, soul and strength.
