I'm thinking that I will be alone all my life.

Get married yes or no?

Get married for the sake of being married - no.

Get married if you find that certain someone and want to marry him or her - depends.

There is no automatic "yes." There's a whole lot of automatic "no" and a few "maybe" but no automatic "yes." If there is an automatic "yes" you can bet it will end with a lot of drama and probably a lot of expense.

Don't write marriage off though. There's always a chance you'll find that person. Just don't try to force it to happen and wind up with a marriage that is worse than being alone.

Thanks ☺️

I second what Lynx said.

uh depends...to whom?
and why would you be alone all your life? Do you not have parents, siblings and friends?

I did too, until I prayed for a few hours… two weeks later BAM He had other plans.

that was a quick result How did you actually meet?

Online through an app that I saw an ad on Facebook. I didn’t pray for a wife, I prayed for His will to be done IF he wants me to have a wife. My way I pretty much gave up lol. I guess what I’m trying to convey is don’t underestimate prayer and do it without ceasing.

Glad it worked out for you BrotherMike, I pray your marriage happiness and strength.

Thank you, I believe this is the one until I meet my maker.

Which do you want, and what do you need to do to improve your chances of that being what happens?

I'm not but I prefer to be alone

I'm living alone, my siblings are married

I'm rocking the alone (well alone except for dog) life as well right now. And while it presents its own set of challenges I prefer those to the challenges of sharing space with another human 24/7 . So if you have no reason to marry, don't bother.

Or as we Linux nerds like to say, upgrade only for a reason. Don't get the latest computer or phone just because it's the latest, if the computer or phone you are currently using is doing the job you want done and doing it well.

Same thing with a car. Same thing with a lifestyle. If what you have is working for you right now don't upgrade just because somebody told you that you should.

I’d like to be married. Being alone sucks.

where are your parents?
flatmates? pets?

who are you going to marry then, have you actually been asked? How can you say yes or no if theres nobody to say yes or no to.

If you prefer to be alone, then what is the problem. I dont see any.

just tell anyone that asks you 'I prefer to be alone thanks' and if they persistent you can be a bit firmer and say 'leave me alone'. I mean...stalkers will get the message eventually, just dont respond. Think of them as telemarketers.

I prefer alone rather than getting married for the sake of being married. You have to be pretty sure the one is the person who will spend all the rest life with you. And I think it's harder than being alone. But, anyway, you don't have to feel like that. If God shows you the way. You could find your destined partner.

Agree, but with a caveat. The idea of a "soul mate" or "twin flame" is entirely pagan. And no, we cannot take applications of the lives of the patriarchs out of context when it comes to the subject of marriage. God HAD to provide spouses for the patriarchs because of His promises to them to provide Messiah through their line. There is no indication in Scripture that God has ONE AND ONLY ONE person out there for you.

So if you want to get married, get married, but like Lynx says, not for the sake of getting married only.

For the sake of getting married, and to someone who is Biblically qualified for the position? (also a believer, committed to marriage, a person of character, etc.) Yes.

The Bible says there are reasons to do this, like sexual purity. If you struggle with sexual purity in today's porno world, that's a good reason to marry (a qualified believer).

In times past, "love" didn't figure into it at all, or calculations of "the right person." Necessity, survival, or politics drove marriages. Love is action. Love is choosing to act in someone else's best interests. The emotional aspects follow.
