Or we could decenter from our obsession with marriage and recenter on God through Christ Jesus, our eternal bridegroom.
Or pursue both of those things at the same time. Unless you find that to be impossible for whatever reason, of course.

See you next time, good sir. I meant no disrespect.You quoted my last message. I was polite enough to respond.
For now, is an unspecified period of time.
Impossible when you don't have a life worth sharing and worth multiplying, such as a life when you yourself is mired with debt, anxiety, impatience and whatever shortcomings that have been troubling you.Or pursue both of those things at the same time.

Then improve yourself first rather than looking for someone else to fix you - through dating app or elsewhere. From what I've heard, a dating app is at best a waste of time, at worst a slot machine that gets you trapped, especially for men.If someone struggles with those things, then, yes, for sure, they'll have to work to make progress there if they do want to marry.

At least such romance novels are precious cultural heritage, they display to me the beauty and intricacy of this language, draw me in and make me laugh, compared to today's AI slops and other slops laden with political agenda or nonsense feelings; and most importantly, at least I know I'm reading about Mr. Darcy in a fiction for a mental escape, instead of daydreaming about one in real life or searching for one on dating apps (or Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse or Marianne, for that matter).Your familiarity with the romance novels of Jane Austen is rather at odds with your disdain of the desire for marriage. Makes me wonder how much time you're spending on worldly things like romance novels or classic literature instead of God.
A smart person learns from their own mistakes, a wise person learns from other's.Well, yeah, that's what I just said.
So you have no firsthand experience with using dating apps yourself? Then how do you know how bad they are?

*Looks up invective and screeds*Your behavior says otherwise. You could say that all believers are called to be voluntarily celibate until they marry, but your invective against the desire to get married, the fact that you seem to have nothing better to do than sit at your computer and type out these long screeds, and just your general attitude of there's nothing you can do to change your circumstance are all far more indicative of something that you're stuck with and not so happy about. And I think your overspiritualized posturing is just that, trying to put a spiritual veneer on your situation to make yourself feel better and superior to all those other poor saps who aren't spiritual enough to be content with just God alone (though with all the one another's God put in scripture an honest person would have to wonder if God ever meant for us to be fully content to be just me and God). That's also a spinoff of purity culture and the idolization of singleness as somehow a more pure state than marriage. Neither is better than the other. It's just a matter of what God is calling you to at this point in your life. Hopefully with age and experience you will gain more wisdom and leave your foolish and angsty youth behind you.
I don't know whether you're truly fond of dating or hurling this at me out of spite. Sounds sarcastic to me.Ah. So failure on a dating app, and probably dating in general, is 100% guaranteed. Good to know. Hahaha!
Everything is doing it wrong. Have you been paying attention? He can argue against any side of any conversation. Or both sides.
I am being sarcastic. And I don't mean to show you any spite, sorry if it came off that way.I don't know whether you're truly fond of dating or hurling this at me out of spite. Sounds sarcastic to me.
Glad to have that cleard out.I am being sarcastic. And I don't mean to show you any spite, sorry if it came off that way.
Didn't mean to call him a muppet, but if the shoe fits.... I was going for the more common definition of a long speech or essay especially a diatribe.*Looks up invective and screeds*
invective: (noun) Denunciatory or abusive language; vituperation.
screeds: A muppet that appeared on the 1st season of SNL
Never know, you could be someone's Mr. Darcy. You may have even more pride that he did at the beginning of that book. Destined to be Darcy... has a certain ring to it.At least such romance novels are precious cultural heritage, they display to me the beauty and intricacy of this language, draw me in and make me laugh, compared to today's AI slops and other slops laden with political agenda or nonsense feelings; and most importantly, at least I know I'm reading about Mr. Darcy in a fiction for a mental escape, instead of daydreaming about one in real life or searching for one on dating apps (or Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse or Marianne, for that matter).
I remember a comedian who expressed something like that.Impossible when you don't have a life worth sharing and worth multiplying, such as a life when you yourself is mired with debt, anxiety, impatience and whatever shortcomings that have been troubling you.
Calling someone a muppet kind of has three meanings... and all meanie.Didn't mean to call him a muppet, but if the shoe fits.... I was going for the more common definition of a long speech or essay especially a diatribe.
But mostly trying to add some variety to the repeated charge of angry ranting.

Yes, I should note screed actually means "A long monotonous speech or piece of writing", but I couldn't resist.
What do you call someone who uses a lot of "big words"?
