My family has an older friend, a gentleman, never married but he wanted to get married. He's shared some stories of the ladies that got away. I'm sure he'd still like to get married but God has used his singleness to bless SO many people.
He is a good example of 1 Corinthians 7:32-33: "But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world—how he may please his wife."
I know a lot of single ladies (in their late 30s, early 40s) who never got married, too. Though, while most of them still want to get married, they seem to be too picky and have given up a lot of opportunities for a godly man. And as time goes by they become more and more independent and kinda stubborn to the point where I think it would be hard for them to marry and submit.
Anyway, I understand the desire to marry. I don't think all hope is lost for the older people. But until that mate is found, should be concentrating on God and how He can use you instead of focusing so strongly on sex. Not saying the desire for sex is wrong, but if you're dwelling on it more than God... 😬
