Just pray and ask God for the person you are meant to be with.
If you can be content then be. If you burn, ask God to send the right person to you, to make your stronger in Christ, not weaker.

My trip to Wal-Mart today to pick up my needed items for the family dinner on Sunday gave me ample reason to be content in my singleness. A couple was having a loud, crude fight in the meat aisle over a ham. They were being horrible to each other and it made me so uncomfortable to hear that I turned my cart and walked way outside of earshot. All I could do is shake my head. Much better to be single than to deal with something like that.
Maybe they were debating whether to glaze it or not.

Being single can be lonely sometimes...? Discuss: :D
Is it wrong for me to wish I had some alone time? I mean seriously to get alone time is impossible accept for the few hours I sleep a night!

I know. I've stopped eating pork more than a year ago not for religious reasons but for health reasons. What I really meant was I preferred glazed beef.

Wow, definitely not something I could endure. Being diagnosed for having medium depression just a few years ago, it is physically impossible for me to content with being single. I haven't been happy for a long, long time. I know having a mate is not going to solve my problem, she would most likely make me more depressed with her problem now unloading on to me as well. You know what, i gave up on trying to be happy a few years ago. Just give me a partner please Lord. I felt like i am about to explode there, just cannot deal with this any longer.

If we found someone that made us happy could we be content in not being single anymore? :D

I have a feeling if i am content with singleness, God would be like "Great! All he needs is Me, he doesn't need a wife. I will not arrange someone for him then."

It's better to be single than not single and alone. Have fun. Enjoy your freedom. Be picky. Guard your heart and the right one might come along. Or not. No one is better than the wrong one by a million miles.

Relationships like anything else in life, if it is done God's way, it would bring us so much joy it overflows out of our inner most being because we are walking it out in the Holy Spirit by faith. Like all great things God gives us IN Christ are. The relationships God gives would be safe IN Christ and it would be a blessing.

I no longer have the mentality that I don't want this or that because I know myself and "I don't believe I can handle that Lord." Now I say "Lord, YOU can make me able to be successful in those things and I will be willing to learn how - from Your Spirit who teaches me all the OTHER things He is teaching me."

Many people say they don't want to have money because they know themselves and they won't be able to handle it. I can see that God would be like; " ok, I won't bless you with financial blessings because you have declared you will be selfish and not able to handle this blessing nor are you willing to learn...ok, I will not bless you in that way."

I'm not going to stop God from giving the blessings He has for me because I'm too hung up on my own inability and lack of faith. Each day He is teaching me that to be hanging on to Jesus and HIS ability is where the answers are., and where my blessings will come from. And they are ALL good.

I have been content being single for many years now.
Strongly believing in true love, and in meant to be,... is a very beautiful thing if it is what you hope for.

My heart has been ready for a very long time, and though I am not a materialistic person for happiness. In other words...It never mattered to me how much a man's income is...
But...it's ME.
I am the one...who would want a better job to help my true love out with his bills and things.
Until I further my education to be what I want to be...
Well...lol
I am not going to make a man pay for what I didn't do...which is, to be what I'd love to be.

So yea...
Lol
I will be content being single
For a long time yet
I am sure
Til I better my career
To help a man I love! :)

I mean sure...
I have alot of love to give
Alot of attention,...affection...

But tho...I wouldn't ask my true love for material things...
My little poems and sentiments are sweet...but they cannot help him pay his bills lol

I'm just being honest here!

But do not be ashamed if you are single
I am using the time to better myself...

I may be single the rest of my life,...and if so
Then God loves me...
And to the OP...
Yes contentment is love and peace...

Amen :)

I am content. Yesterday I was not. I was mad at God and spouted my venom on another forum since He didn't talk back when I told Him what I thought about it.
A wise mature brother in the Lord said he prayed for me and wanted to pray with me, since I was namely furious that I had to pray alone, no partner, okay, but at least I want a prayer partner. So that is solved. Feel awesome now. Sometimes when I see those angry exchristians I wonder if they never just got mad at God. Jacob wrestled with God.
