DEAR JOHN I’M A SINGLE CHRISTIAN WHO HAS EXSPERIENCED MANY FAILED RELATIONSHIPS. AND I BEGG TO DIFFER WITH YOUR ARTICAL. I KNOW THAT FOR EVERY FLOWER GOD GIVES IT ADQUIT SUN SUNSHINE AND EVERYONE DOESN’T LOVE THINK OR GROW THE SAME I KNOW I DEALLY THAT EVERY THOUGHT OR EMOTION WE FEEL STARTS WITH US. OR HOW WE SEE THINKS BUT LIFE IS A TEST AND WHETHER WE WIN OR LOSE IT IN CHRIST HAND AND I BELIEVE WE CAN ALL BE TRUELY HAPPY IF WE KEEP OUR MIND ON CHRIST JESUS BUT GOD SAID IN GENESIS IT IS NOT GOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE I DO NOT CONDONE SIN AGAINST OUR CREATOR I HAVE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT I HAVE ALSO BEEN ALONE BUT I NOW USE THE GIFTS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BEING A LONE. SEE THEE TRUTH FACT OF THE MATTER WHEN A WOMAN SAY’S SHE WOULD LIKE TO MARRY YOU. IS A COMPLIMENT WHICH CAN MEAN ONE OF MANY THINGS EITHER YOUR A GOOD MAN OF THOUGHT AND QUALITY,SHE FEELS YOU ARE SOME ON SHE WOULD LIKE TO COMMIT AND CAN VALUE AND SEE HERSELF STAYING COMMIT TO FOR EVER OR YOUR MAN OF DREAMS THAT SHE CAN SHARE HER DEEPEST CARE WITH. OR SHE LIKE DECATE HER TIME TO HELP BRING THE BEST OUT YOU AND HER IN SHORT LIFE PARTNER . I HOPE GOD GRACE YOU THE SAME WISDOM. I HAVE RECIEVED.AS YOU MINSTER THREW ARTICALES. GOD BLESS U.

Great comments and great reaction. We are all learning from this and wow! Some re-actions are astonishing to say the least! I have been married for 33 years now and believe that God has His plan for each of us – well planned and it will be fulfilled in His time and most definitely in yours. Live life to the full and trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding!

We have all been taught values in life, so keep to them, honor God and you can be sure that you will go through life totally in control. Ask and you will receive! Ask not for your own pleasures otherwise you will learn some more lessons, before the prayers are fulfilled.

I think John's response was WAY off base here. All I heard was a woman express a sincere desire for friendship, love, and companionship. A desire to commit herself to a man and receive the same from a man. (How awful! What nerve!) And what was John's response? Sounded like John wanted to send this woman to therapy for low self esteem. She sounded like she knows she's got a lot to offer and wants to give herself to the right man. I disagree that there is no Mr. or Miss Right, but would agree that there is no Mr. or Miss Perfect. I think the Bible has alot to say about marriage, and the desire to be married but very sadly I did not see a single verse of scripture in John's reply that he could have used to encourage this lady. If a desire for love, marriage, friendship, affection, companionship, and even sex (within God's boundaries of marriage of course) make a person desparate, then ther must be an awful lot of desparate people out there. I thought John's response to this lady and all singles as well demonstrated a very big lack of both understanding and compassion.

Well I believe the author is on to something !!!!! Being employed in the mental health field I am always telling people you must lile who you are before and above all the other stuff. I would like to think I practice this and yes I do like me however I also get lonely for adult conversation and talking to a Labrador Retriever does not fit that picture!!!!!

[...] lot of people took my recent post, Looking For Mr. Right? You’re Missing the Point, Missy, to mean that I’m anti-marriage. But I am most definitely pro-marriage. I’ve been [...]

did jesus even agree with dating and all that? I dont recall him being in a relationship. Maybe we should retitle this "what would jesus do if asked to settle down and get married? And would he invite the gay community to the wedding?" lol

So the fact that men are spoiled gives them an excuse? The last I checked men are called to become Christlike just like women are. We should not be content to stay the way we are but always strive to grow and mature. We are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Christ. As fallen humans we will not always get it right but we are to at least to be willing to allow God to develop his character in us. But there seems to be a double standard here where Missy was challenged to deny herself but your piece on men being spoiled was almost a joke a la "Boys will be boys and that is just the way it is." How about challenging the boys to stand up and be men for a change and to stop blaming women and making excuses. Just my take. We don't have to agree.

delain: Just for the record, I AGREE with you that women are too often blamed for being single, or whatever. As proof I feel this way, let me offer up some earlier pieces I posted here.

One is called "Surprise (Or Not)! Men Are Spoiled." It is found here:

And, actually, I'll leave it at that, since the other two posts I might have sent you to are linked to in that post.

Ok! Thanks for reading!
