I used to obsess about finding the right woman to spend the rest of my life with, but I came to understand that it will happen in God's time, not mine.
I am at peace now, and a lot happier that I quit obsessing, and let God take control of my life. I love God so much, and he has richly blessed me with a strong supportive family, and I realize that life is much richer when God takes control. Praise Him!!
 
I used to do the same thing, but then I realized that the prefect woman is one who has devoted her entire life to serving God. That is when I stopped searching for a woman and started searching for God. I have faith that, if indeed being married is the best way for me to serve God, then he will inspire it to happen. In the meantime I intend to focus on Loving God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength and Loving my neighbor as myself.

I have come to realize that Catholics choose celibacy, not because they wish to for some reason reject marriage, but rather because they want to serve God with all that they are. I think that is a great example for all to follow, especially those called to marriage.
