Willie,

Even if you are right (and I disagree with you) there is not much teaching there.

Kat,

I believe that the indwelling Holy Spirit can only lead us into all truth (*)
(Jn 16:13
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
KJV )

if we are willing to consult Him. I believe that God wants us to consult Him, not only on big decisions like marriage, but even on little decisions like shopping. He, the Spirit of Truth. will speak to us; but to benefit we must listen.
Excuse me Marc, I saw this on the fly and I´d like to say: A couple of years ago, from my heart, trust, faith, needs, etc., I was asking God confirmation if the woman I was dating it was the one He chose for me to be married. Several times, more than usual, when I asked Him a "sign", a confirmation she was that "one", that woman phone called me or texted me while I was hid retired in my hut (those days)... I´m not holy, I´m not a saint (not really insterested in) but I addressed my prayers to God and, same way here, I think the evil one "read" my petitions same way I read your words with Willie (and the evil one made me believed God was leading me to be married to that woman) even when I know we were too different, a couple of years older than me, socially in a higher status I´m not interested to be, and I asked God to lead me, since I know many things I mentioned to that GF I had and she convinced me and challanged me to keep on, untill the day she told me she was wronged with words like "something happened... there´s not chemistry"...

If a person here or outside knows that knowledge (*), practically, he/she should share it publicly, because I´m not the one wanting to be properly led by the Spirit of God (or by the hand of Jesus or his angels)

Like Adam and Eve in a way. Does God have a significant other prepared for everyone? Someone who will push us to pursue God all that much more and will pray with and for us? I've read somewhere that marriage isn't for everyone, and that there is a blessing of being single for some people? What do you think?
Well to start with...

God obviously can't have a "significant other" lined up for you if he MADE you to be someone who is specially gifted to be single.

That would sort of be a contradiction.

But for the rest of us... I think we can debate the issue.

I was only creating a starting point.

If God has given someone the "gift of singleness"
then it would be illogical for God to have also selected a spouse for them.

I was just cutting away some extraneous things, so we could focus on whatever part of the issue is left.

Gotcha thanks, I also think it wouldnt be worrisome at all to the one who was given that because I dont think they would miss marraige if they were gifted by God in their singleness.

Exactly.

Sometimes I hear nice people weeping,
"I want to get married so bad, UGHHH, but I think God has given me the gift of singleness."

No.
No I don't think so, lol.

There was a time when I thought there was someone for everyone. Had my first real girlfriend while at university. It turns out she didn't feel the same way, and only pursued a relationship because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. Another woman I met here on CC, and we were going to try long distance, but ultimately at end of summer she realized it wasn't going to work and it wasn't something she wanted. As you would imagine, I was hurt and angry when these two things happened. Right now as I'm typing, I am thankful those two relationships did end when they did. Being single is a great opportunity for me to further the one true relationship with God. Know more about Him. If there is someone for people, God will make sure those two people come across and grow together. For me though, it is a great opportunity to be single. Sure I wouldn't mind one day having that special someone. But I know God is still molding me and working through me. Being in a relationship isn't important to me at the moment. Maintaining my focus on God and growing my faith in Christ is, and as single people, we have the best opportunity to do that. Because there are less distractions when being single. So no. I don't believe there is someone for everyone. Or else everyone would have someone.

Love is not mandatory to be received, only to be given.

Sex doesn´t always gave love, but a human pleasure.

Love gives pleasure, evenly when it is given without selfish demands, sexless and freely.

PS

For those who laughed at people´s "dramas"... They surely lacked nothing and, probably, had no family or friends. Congratulations! You´ve become insensitive angels...

(Mat 22:30 When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. )

I don't think the laughter is at anyone's genuine pain.

I think the laughter is at the fact that we ALL make ridiculous presumptions at times.

We all do it.
That's what makes is funny.

Just make sure that if you are celibant, that it is NOT your local church telling you to remain that way! Nothing wrong with someone not getting married..but make sure that you are not indulging in the man/wife 'thang'. Shacking up is not part of GOD's plan either.

yeah, I've been single for many years now and enjoy it. I don't go on dates or anything like that, and the only one living with me is my cat..needless to say, I have no sex life and prefer it that way.. :)
