Well I've come to the conclusion that dating is a waste of time due to potential irreconcilable differences for one I date a Christian we most likely have nothing in common other than being Christian they find out about my troubled past and dump and the second option I date a non Christian who has a lot in common other than being Christian we get into fights about God and we end up breaking up. The Bible says if you can't control your urges get married that's not an option....so yeah I'm stuck....
No, you're not stuck at all but just starting out searching for a prospective woman to form a relationship with. God will search and find a woman of your heart's desire if this is aligned with His will and desire regarding a possible marriage in the future.
Just about everyone has a past about one thing or another but the most important thing is the man that you are today and the potential for growth in all positive areas including the spirituality and your personal relationship with the Lord. After my horrible first marriage which lasted 6 1/2 long years and ended in divorce at the age of 29 I was 'stuck' too for 18 years but things can usually become unstuck with perseverance, determination and the grace of God.
Most of us face periods where we believe that we are 'stuck' and must live with the circumstances. I have been 'stuck' for a couple years but just now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You will see the light too if you don't give up and give all aspects of your life to God. Life is not so bad, for the most part it is what you make it based on your choices. My counsel to you is to chose wisely and I will try to do the same. I believe in my heart that we both will come out on top.
