I want to know what your biggest frustration is being a single Christian who would one day like to be in a relationship which leads to marriage.

My biggest frustration is I actually love someone who does not accept Yeshua as Messiah. He is physically perfect, intellectually perfect, literally from Jerusalem (can’t find a better Jewish boy), come here (to the U.S.) 3 years ago; I suppose one could say finically perfect and we believe all the same but Messiah. So I had to say no when he asked me to marry him. We are still together but we can never really be unless he accepts Yeshua as his Messiah. But he sticks with me, or I with him (I’m not sure) lol…. Maybe the blinders will be removed and he will see Yeshua but I will never “yoke” myself to a non-believer in Messiah…. we shall see…. Does it frustrate me YES!!!! On many levels first if he died he will go to hell because he has not accepted Yeshua (so I pray daily for his Salvation... me in the picture or not...)then the superficial level he is perfect for me except that and I can not commit to him because of that …. And well you get it the story goes on….

The most frustrating thing about singleness in this society is the pressure to find a mate and get married. It preoccupies our lives and becomes a stumbling block. Jesus and Paul both tell us of the great Godly benefits of staying single, and when I read those scriptures, I can't help but feeling convicted, because I don't know if I want to ask God if I should stay single. I feel sometimes that I won't live a full and happy life if I don't find that missing rib of mine, but perhaps I was born with that rib intact, and my mission is to serve God as a single man, regardless of what pressures society places on me. It is a question that is hard to ask because the answer may not be what we want to hear. I ask God to keep me in His will, no matter what, but do I really mean it, or do I hold that little piece of my life to myself and not surrender it to Christ for His great purposes? To say the least, it is a frustration.

Mcubed, I will pray for you and the salvation of your boyfriend. I commend your strength, and God will answer your prayers! I love my husband dearly, and when I married him I took my vows very serious. However, during the course of our marriage we have had a lot of difficulties because he is not a "practicing" Christian. Yes he says he believes, but he is not there for me spiritually. It is very difficult to try to make right choices and continue my walk with the Lord when your significant other is not on board and often uses church, and my faith against me when my foot slips. Please remain strong in the word and continue your prayers. God is faithful and will reward your patience and faithfulness. God Bless you both!

Luckly I'm not very frustrated, but I think the hardest part is not knowing for sure if I'll ever get married.
Currently there is actually another thing that frustrates me more. The most beautiful girl in my course likes me and of course she is not a christian, so she's off the limits >_> I'm usually not liked by pretty girls, so I'd like to think: darn.. there goes my best chance.. oh well lol.
As I said before, I'm not very frustrated at all really ^_^ and I'm pretty confident, that I'll meet the right person when the time is right.

My biggest frustration is comming home everyday to an empty apartment. When I've had a bad day at work, not having someone to talk to.
On the upside I can be as messy as I want and wont have some woman complaining because my dirty laundry isn't piled neatly or the dishes haven't been done for a year and a day.

For me, there's probably two areas that i feel most frustrated about regarding singleness. The first is the sexual arena; I've been told I have a high libido, and to be honest there's so many times when I crave that closeness. I'm not just talking the physical aspects, either; I mean the whole package, mind, body, and spirit. It's not just a desperate desire to "get laid", in and of itself; it's wanting ot be that close with someone who honestly loves me like I love them, and knowing that isn't possible (right now) frustrates me a lot.
The second is probably a lack of everyday "bonding", and what i mean by that is the chatting, hand-holding, confiding, trusting, etc. There's so many areas of my life where I often feel so alone, and while I love God very much I keep thinking, "Is it so much to ask for someone who has skin on them?!" Its really difficult for me sometimes, to trust God when I can't see or hear him. My prayers often feel so one-sided or hollow, and I don't always know what to do about them. In my head, i know so much about God, but in my heart I just feel so depressed and empty a lot of the time. I want that "inner peace" and joy that some Christians appear to have, and I get upset when I can't "sense" or feel God's active presence in my life.

I think I used to have it. This is all I want right now and I don't know how to get it back. I lack faith. My happiness right now is shallow, I am not truly happy.

faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God

I feel the same way. I have a high sex drive and it is not all about the sex but about having intimacy. I want to understand some and have a relationship that is built on love, trust, and commitment.
