My thoughts: You CANNOT put the job on somone else to come into your life and fulfill you.
It is not attractive to be needy or demanding.
You have to KNOW who you are as a person, so that you can show what you have to offer to another. You also have to know who you are as a person so that you know what you are looking for so that you do not compromise on the things that really matter to you. (ie: deal breakers)

I myself, (*cough* *cough*) have passed the thirties stage (*sigh*)...and had truly resolved in my head, (through contentment and a few other things) that I would be alone.
But then, out of the blue, when I was NOT looking at all.....I met someone, who was also NOT looking at all.
God knows what the future holds. We have to trust Him with it, and trust His best for us as a GREAT and MIGHTY purpose.

Blessings!

In my experience, God may very well provide you with a spouse provided you're a reasonably well balanced Christian - you've got sound doctrine, you're reasonably strong in your faith, and you have a job of some sort.

I can say that if you turn that drive for a spouse into something you do for Him then He will certainly use that energy for your betterment.

For me I wanted a date before I hit 30 (it had been nearly 10 years), and I went onto two online dating sites. I remember learning so much about patience from this exercise. I started to understand Revelation 3:20 in a different light when I started to wonder why in the world it was so hard to get women who were supposedly Christians to simply share a few sentences about their faith (I'd nearly given up on the idea of getting a date).

Patience. I learned a lot of patience. And for a brief moment I understood a little more about what it feels like to be rejected when your motives are completely pure.

[SUP]20 [/SUP]Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Well, there's a nagging desire in my heart to get married someday. I know right now I am emotionally not ready for commitment, but whenever I think of my age that's where the panic begins.

I also have a sister who is only 16 and already have a boyfriend so the pressure is on me. My parents are loosing their hope to see me get married.
