Don't worry bro, we won't kick you out when you get married. If we kicked married people out we'd lose a lot of cool people and a lot of insightful posts.

Thanks man, not that I have been very active on here but I know there are lots of cool people here I need to check in from time to time.
I have a busy life now, but trust God His timing is being done. Thanks for your post.
I had never been married, and hadn't been on a date for 26 years when I met my wife at age 57.5 she 37.5, and was her first boyfriend. We have been married going on three years and we are incredibly happy. I am an american and she is a Pakistani national who had never been on a plane of anything else until she flew over here... I spent 440 days over their during the leg time of getting her over here................ I recommend a Pakistani woman all the way. In the whole time I lived over there I never met a girl over there that wasn't an absolute angel... Less than .6 percent of infants are born out of wedlock in Pakistan. So there is a high state of morality and the people over there treated me with nothing but kindness........... Check this out!
I'm thinking it would be a good time to go home and be with the Lord, even though I'm happy and healthy and have a good wife. We know that heaven will be even better than this place! Taking a cloud ride to Heaven sounds like fun.
Jesus has a mystery and is saying "the seven lampstands are the seven churches"
Rev 1:20 “As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches
Jesus says He "walks among the seven golden lamp stands"
Rev 2:1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
Now Jesus is saying He "has the Seven Spirits of God". We see where they come from and where they go.
Rev 3:1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
There is a door open in heaven and a Voice like a trumpet "Says Come Up Here"
"After These Things"
Rev 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.
After a reception of lightning and thunder Seven Lamps of Fire appear in front of the throne; and look what it says they are. Now the lamps that were on earth are before the throne, and do you remember what Jesus said the lamps were: that's right He said they were the churches; But now they are being called the Seven Spirits of God. And it just keeps getting better.
Rev 4:5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God
Let's do a little review: Jesus said that the seven golden lamps on earth are the churches. Then after a voice like the sound of trumpet says come up here, and after a reception of lightning and thunder coming out from the throne: now the seven lamps are in heaven, but now they are being called the Seven Spirit of God. So you can look at the previous verse to see that it's all true. But move forward is the greatest thing we could ever see. So now we know the Seven Spirits of God are the Seven Churches.
Rev 5:6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, that were sent out into all the earth.
So there we have it. The greatest thing one could ever imagine: Right there in the Head of the Lamb is Seven Eyes that are said to be the Seven Spirits of God that were sent out into ALL THE EARTH. So We are on The Throne Just As Jesus Promised We would be. Therefore, We are Raptured off of the Earth and seated on Our throne, Immediately before all the Murder and Mayhem begins.
Below is the Promise.
Rev 3:21-22 ‘He who overcomes, I will grant to Him to sit down with Me on My throne, just as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Dan 7:13“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, One like a Son of Man was coming on the clouds of heaven. And He came up to be presented before the Ancient of Days.
People ask where the Rapture is in the old Testament. It's in the Little Book/Daniel where we see many aspects of Revelations.
Rev 3:22 ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’”

You and your wife are living quite the love story. It is commendable the lengths in which you went to find a loving wife in another far away country, persevered, and finally brought her back with you. Well done.
I'm happily married too and recently we celebrated our 7th anniversary. We met on this site in 2014.
Years ago, my younger brother met a woman online and went to the Philippines to bring her back to the USA. They are happily married too going on 24 years.
You just never know when or where you will meet your future spouse so it's best to be prepared to take decisive action if an opportunity were to present itself.
No one could have ever told me I was going to get married at this age, I stopped looking around when I was say, 48. So it goes to show miracles really do happen. Brother Congratulations on all of your happiness (you and your wife) God bless you!!
I wanted to calculate the odds but I need the right algorithims or formula.
I know that the odds of winning lotto is dependent on the number of people buying tickets., How many tickets you buy and how many lines. Then its on which numbers come up.
So there must be some mathematical way to calculate the odds/chances of finding a partner if one guy is aged 42.
Is it 1 in 42?
It is probably a question you'd find in those maths books you studied in school but forgot.

oh ok how so
For this guy are you going to tell him his chances?
It reminds me of the guy who posted that he was looking for his wifey. I dont know if he lost his wifey or found her, but not sure why he was posting online when he could have notified the police and found her quicker.
Eureka!!!! You've got it! He should call the police and tell them he is looking for his wife. I'm sure there are plenty of single females hangin' out at the police station!
Of course. Women like older men. And there are a ton of divorcees, and growing, as we become more sinful and less about Christ. Also, the left is conditioning women to think happiness comes from doing what men like to do, which means even more divorcees.
I expect divorcee stock to skyrocket.
If you're not into divorcees because a lot of it isn't for Biblical reasons, then go for 25 and up. Women like older men, so there's bound to be several who aren't uncomfortable with the age gap.
Hey LeoForChrist, I am 45 and as of late had that exact question pop up in my thoughts. In fact it continues to pop up and disrupt my thought processes. I continually pray, surrendering this question to God knowing He answers prayers, and I keep a opened mind to God's will for my life and not my own desires. It is not easy to be single at our age, but in all things rejoice in God, because there is a greater purpose for your life than you can even imagine.
I actually made a commitment not to date for a complete year to focus in on my relationship with God and to establish a firmer foundation in faith. Ok, the question must being going through your mind, "How long has it been?" Well it has been 316 days, 49 days away from a year. Let me tell you the blessings that have happened too me. There have been many beautiful, nice women that have wanted to date during this time and I've respectfully declined while disclosing why I was not dating. Oh I give credit to the Holy Spirit for putting it on my heart to abstain from dating and what a blessing. Several of the women were not as they portraited themselves to be and God navigated me away from those unhealthy relationships.
Truth be told there are a couple women, friends I remind you, that have accepted just friendships during the course of the 316 days and I believe our lives have been greatly enriched. The overall point I am attempting to make is to trust in God, listen to the Holy Spirit and trust in Faith and not of your own desires.
I long for my other half, but am content to continue with to walk with God first and foremost. If and when God invites a women along our walk, is when my longing will be fulfilled by God.
Sincerely LeoForChrist
Thank you! God is in control. He gets all the glory. Your story is an encouragement for those older singles who are looking. Always be open and heart guarded when doors open, just never know the story God has for you! Seek Him and you’ll shall find.
no I meant his wife had gone missing. Why would he be looking for a single female when he is looking for HIS wife.Eureka!!!! You've got it! He should call the police and tell them he is looking for his wife. I'm sure there are plenty of single females hangin' out at the police station!
I dont know I dont go to the police station much but I had a flatmate who used to work there.
They help with lost and found, but then Salvation Army do as well for family members.
Though police often cant do much they can keep your record on file in case she does turn up.It is actually a horrible thing to have a family member go missing.

Yeah, he can call 911.Eureka!!!! You've got it! He should call the police and tell them he is looking for his wife. I'm sure there are plenty of single females hangin' out at the police station!
years ago, I had a friend call 111 (thats our countries emergency number) in crisis
she asked for the police as her boyfriend had kinda dumped her out in the wilderness and she had no way of getting home, she was stranded and felt unsafe
She said it was an emergency but the call taker said she had to call a taxi instead.
she was never found after that not even her body.
