To answer your question, “Do we all have to be married?” you might want to read this:

[36] If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry -- it is no sin.
[37] But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.
[38] So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better. 1Cor 7:36-38 RSV
You might want to read the entire chapter.

One problem there ressurection, You are missing the part before and during them becoming betrothed. You've only got the part after the betrothal.

I’m not planning to get married, so I guess I don’t think much about the before betrothal or during betrothal part. I just want a faithful friend. Is there something important I need to know?

He may come to you. Just be patient...and put all of your hope into the Lord. Don't doubt it. It will be so beautiful that you might not know how to speak of the experience when it happens. I know this. He knows what we desire. Follow his guide...so he can build you into the woman you need to be to nurture your family. I bet you he will come when you do not expect him so you can really appreciate him and scream in joy. I will pray for you and hope that the Lord gives you solace and prepares you until then. Have faith..I had two dear male friends of mine meet women who were amazing to them. One of them was so discouraged girl...he was so down and so much despair...actually both of them were. Then one day my friend told me I MET HER...I was like what? He was like OMG she is so it...she is a princess. He fell head over heels crazy in love with her.. It was such a blessing to see so much joy and excitement in him. My other friend...the same thing..he met the woman he could not live without. They both had women equally excited to be with them. I had a female friend recently get married...She had waited soo long..and she was worn out...she met a man that treats her so good and compliments her in every way. He is strong in ways that are specific to her needs. I can't wait to hear about it when it happens.

At first I found it "funny" that only unmarrieds were posting here because of abedinego's original post saying "what is it that you luckyones do, that we others missing out to find our GOD created ADAMS.", until I realised I was in the Singles Forum!!! hahaha (I never pay attention!!! :D)

To try to answer the OP though, I don't think it's anything "we luckyones" DO per-se...more like we each have our own walks, lives, paths, and while some have been blessed with finding that special someone....others are blessed in other ways, and may yet be blessed at some point with a partner as well. The best thing is to be happy whereever you are in your life (walk, path) and be ready for whatever the Lord has in store for you next...whether it be a relationship/spouse, a new job/promotion, just being there for someone else who may need support or love, or.....anything!!! Surrounding ourselves with doing what we love most as much as we can, being open to possibilities of new things, finding ways to help others, all these things help us find what is best for us, whether it includes marriage or not.

It also helps to not dwell on what you are "missing" and concentrate on what you already have been blessed with.

30's are about the right time for someone to settle down. You managed to make it through the teens and the twenties alright. Just be patient, God doesn't like it when you get ants in your pants, makes him feel like you are doubting his awesomeness. lol ;)

hello everyone.
i need advice on this one too. heheh.
God help me.

wel!as u all know that i have 2 boys with different dadds, my first is 9 and the last i 4months.
the father to the first, he's not been in our lives since we departed from each other for 9 yrs ago. but he never stopped loving me that one i know,he was just not ready to be aman that time i think.
now is back asking me to give him another chance,even if am with a new born baby he says, but the thing is i dnt love him anymore. i thought that for now he should have gotten some one,but no he keeps on asking me what re my plans for the future.?
guys i dnt know what to do,but i lost trust in men. i dnt even know how to start to say that i love u as my man mmmm....its like a dream for me.

but when i look around, he is not that bad atall. he makes my his son so happy and him knowing that mum and dad re here both it is like adream come true for him. my baby too he 's so happy when he is around him, he's just laughing him self out. me too i'm happy and really feel like am nolonger stressed or tired, since he is helping me almost with everything. i know its better to be with him for my kids sake than getting some new in there lives,since he loves my lastborn as much as his son.. but i dnt love him at all,then if i give him this chance,when wil i ever love or feel that YES i love my man, its like am sacrifying my self for the sake of my childrens happiness.
isn't it?

he says that he has changed, coz he is 39 on 1.04, but i see him as afriend to me. so if i marry him, he wil be enjoying with his sons, love the woman he loves, yet me i wil be just happy becoz my kids are happy, but me i wil be lost.

pliz guys. can some one tell me some thing?

thank u all.

I think that the Lord is working in your life. What a beautiful situation you have there. You have no obligation to be romantic with this man. You are free to love him when and how you want. I think just enjoying what you both have and communicate clearly what is going on will be healthy for everyone. You never know what will happen inside of you. I think that often we think that because we are not starving for the mate or completely excited about them that there is no love. When my kids are sick and screaming at me I still love them, even though I could cry from near nausea and head trauma. When that sickness passes from them, there may be another challenge that I face with them that covers up the fuzzy feelings (the fun part I want to get to). Being with them feels good and knowing they are doing okay gives me comfort and peace. You might have internal mistrust or confusion that can cloud what is going on....like response to the screaming child. I think once that internal stuff is worked through you can experience even more appreciation for him. Allow him to love you and your children. There is nothing that says you need to reward him for his behavior. Just let the natural rewards happen...be genuine and do not compromise yourself to accommodate anyone. You and your kids deserve the best. If there is a potential for romantic love in the future, he and you will be clear of it, and rejoice in the work the Lord has done between both of you. Remember there are no obligations and cautiousness is wise.
