No one is saying it's easy. But I guarentee that meeting people while pursuing God is a win win proposition regardless of whether it brings lifelong committment and romance. As a single woman, I find that I work alongside men and women of various ages and ethnicities. Most of the men are already married or too young to look twice at, but the depth of friendships and interactions makes up for the fact that I go home alone each night. In the meantime, God and I develop a stronger relationship and I can identify a fuller picture of the qualities and expectations of a good marriage and a good life partner as I work alongside of and see into those marriages as we do ministry. Ultimately, I trust God and His timing to provide either with a special someone, or through my friends and church family, those needs of interaction and intimacy(not physical) that nurture my soul. Do I still struggle? Yes. But it beats a deadend relationship with someone just to avoid being alone.

I like this article. By living with the passion God put inside of us, we can't help but live a fulfilled life. God has promised that He would give us the desires of our heart. So if to have a wife or husband is one of one's desires, God knows and will supply.

In the meanwhile, there is work that the Lord Jesus has given us to do. Our passion to do His will can be magnificently expressed through our lives when we let Him. The key is letting Him.

As in the life of Ruth, when we give ourselves wholly to God and godly instruction, all we wanted and more is provided to us as a reward.

Hmmmm . . . just follow my passions and I'll automatically meet someone? Sounds nice, but unrealistic. In my experience, most of the people volunteering by my side are women. Forgive my skepticism, but it's just not that easy.
