Whatever you say, that has nothing to do with your relationship with the Lord. You can't take your marriage to the grave - or the next life.
Thanks, I just wanna experience the love of Christ, when there're no "those things" to enjoy. His love is free and accessible for all, his yoke is easy and burden is light, and I just happen to choose that over an unattainable idol.Because there's good and enjoyable things about marriage.

I can't take this Internet forum with me into the next life, either. Whoops. Guess I should never, ever, use this Internet forum, then.

I don't know why you think marriage is "unattainable" when so many Christians have been married, are married, and continue to marry. Or why you think marriage is an "idol." The Bible calls marriage a good thing. Nowhere does it call marriage an "idol."
You can use the Lord as a matchmaker to get a partner, even though you yourself have acknowledge that there's no such promise; or, you can find comfort and peace in the Lord himself, despite the lack of a partner.I can't take this Internet forum with me into the next life, either.

I never said anything about using God as a matchmaker to get a partner.
Something else you could do is find your ultimate peace in God while looking for a partner. Crazy, isn't it?
I don't know any women who want to be an influencer or have her own brand. Personally, the idea of being an influencer is very off putting to me. I'd rather go live like Grizzly Adams, far from that sort of thing.
Thankfully, we aren't all out for ourselves. A caring person isn't going to act in such a manner as to drain their spouse.
No you couldn't, that's an oxymoron. If you've found peace in God, you won't be troubled with singleness and looking for a partner to fix that; if you're looking for a partner to fix your singleness, you haven't found peace in God.I never said anything about using God as a matchmaker to get a partner.

And yes, many have married, but what does that have anything to do with you?
Then you don't know the young generation. I don't blame you, grandma.
And yes, a caring person ain't gonna act like that, neither would a secure and confident person be pitying themselves for their singleness and seeking validation from a partner to fix that when they're already saved by the blood of Christ.
Grandma? Have mercy. I'm not even a mother
I suppose in the past, I would have been called an "old maid."
OK let me put it this way - if you're a caring person, don't you have elderly parents to care for? I'd care for them who raised me and cared for me, I'd care for my nieces, nephews and cousins who share my blood, why would I care for somebody I know nothing about other than a fishy profile probably generated by AI?Grandma?

Oh? Where's that in the Bible?
Gee, I don't know, Lovette. Maybe this indicates that marriage, and a happy marriage isn't a far-fetched pipe dream like you seem to believe? I don't know, just a wild guess.
My close family has all passed on. I have done a lot of caring for my loved ones in my life. Starting when I was 13. I went to stay with my grandfather to help him for a while after major surgery. Towards the end of my teen years, I began helping and caring for my father. He passed away 2 years ago, my mother passed away before him. Now, I'm getting ready to go care for my current closest loved one (who isn't blood related, but they are my loved just the same).
If I were married, I'd care for my spouse.
As far as a fishy profile picture, it is best to take steps. In my experience, that means a phone call first, then a video chat, and then meeting in person.
