Being raised by a christian single mother I have an emphatic respect towards them. They have one of the greatest metaphoric statures to me. She was 18 when she had me and never strayed from letting me know that i was the most important person in her life. I never met or knew who my father was but i never cared to because of how much she provided for me.....i feel like i have missed out on nothing and have gained way more because of how wonderful of a mother i have. It was hard on her but she never made me feel like i was reason it was hard on her, She never hit me...because she never had to, I never wanted to cause trouble because i was fearful of disappointing her after all she has done for me. She didn't concern herself with dating when she was younger because she didn't have time to with her schedule and having two children. She ended up created her own business and now has a lot of real estate properties without a college education. She married a few years back.
In some aspects i think i see better qualities in single mothers lol.....and if i met a girl i wanted to be with and they had a child. That would definitely not stop me. If i didn't want a relationship with one it wouldn't be because of their child, or any judgment towards that.

Hi Whyllow,
I don't know if this will help you, but if you like to read there are some incredible books out there about this very topic- the trials of being a single Christian Mum.
One I'd highly reccomend is actually a fiction book by best-selling Christian fiction writer Francine Rivers. The book is called 'The Atonement Child' and although I don't know your story- I feel you could probably relate to the main character in this book.
She experienced all the trials that come with being Christian and pregnant (in the book the character was raped) and everyone she held dear to her (who taught her about God etc) encouraged her to have an abortion. In the end she chose not too. With her choice she made some tough sacrifices and lost what seemed like everything important to her. But in the end, the overwhelming message of Gods love, redemption and atonement through her situation shines through in a powerful way.
It's an encouraging, uplifiting book, which reminds you that you're not alone.
I hope that is helpful for you!

hi Whyllow
Don't give up. There are men out there who would still be happy with a woman in your situation. I once dated a woman with 3 kids. Yes, it will be hard, but its doable. Important thing is, don't settle for less than you deserve. You have a hard path to go down raising kids solo & you deserve a man that recognizes the strength it takes to do such a thing. (=

I think this is nothing but your pride speaking here. Why would you be worried about that. She married you!
Also I am someone who has a sexual past but after gave my life to God I stopped thos relationships. I asked God to remove from my memory those past sexual experiences and I truely cant remember any of tihem. I know I did it but I dont remember what it was like. I know many other people, men and women, who have doen the same. So thinking your woman, whom God has given to you, would be thinking about other people during intamcies is is very untrustworthy and prideful.

This is not the way the mind of a woman works when it comes to intimacy. If a woman loves you enough to agree to be YOUR wife, out of all of the other men in the world, to her, YOU are her world. Part of making a marriage all that it can be is taking the extra time and attention it takes to make sure your husband/wife knows exactly how you feel about them, in EVERY way. When you do that, no one else is on her mind.
Seems like a lot of people allow themselves to be beaten down by doubts like this. Joy and closeness can be stolen as a result. If the person you are with wanted to be with that person from their past, they would be. There's usually a very good reason that they aren't.
