Are you, maybe, in your thirties and still haven’t found the life partner God has for you? Have you lost hope in finding your match for life?

“I’ve put a time limit on when I will stop looking for a suitable mate, but is this the wrong idea when the Bible says that there is a season for everything?”
Some advice?
- Many other Christian singles have been in your very position — looking for a spouse at, what some would say is, a ‘late’ age — and have found that spouse and are now happily married!
- The Bible does not suggest there is a ‘time limit’ on your search for a spouse — thus, don’t put one upon yourself.
- Be on the look out for opportunities — and keep initiating for them!
- Pray to God to help you spot opportunities… and to find a spouse!
- In you search, prioritize ‘biblical characteristics’ in the spouse your persue – i.e. physical attraction (etc.) should not be the foremost factor.
- Seek help from Elders in your church or others who you trust, in suggesting a potential godly spouse you may have overlooked, or don’t know about!
- Don’t sit idly while you’re single! — Serve in your church, or other places, where you can continue to develop your healthy relationship with God and others.
