Many Christian singles are approaching thirty, forty, or even fifty, with no spouse in sight. I get it, and I\u2019m here to tell you that there is hope. Why is it crucial to wait on God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#h-divine-timing\">Divine Timing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/h-true-connection\">True Connection<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#h-personal-growth\">Personal Growth<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#h-avoid-heartache\">Avoid Heartache<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds simple, but it\u2019s not easy. Even when Christian singles hear the common phrase, \u201cbe content,\u201d many cringe. \u201cHow long am I supposed to be content?\u201d Or, \u201cI am content, but nothing\u2019s happening.\u201d I hear you, and I remember feeling this way too. But let\u2019s dive into why <a href=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/how-can-i-trust-god-with-my-love-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we must trust God<\/a> in this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it mean we should stay locked in our rooms and never meet people? No, but we can\u2019t force things to happen. Let\u2019s explore why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Being intentional in dating vs. letting God move | SALT Conversation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wt7v11LnEd0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-intro\">Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGod needs to hurry up.\u201d I was listening to a relationship Q&amp;A when a woman expressed her obvious discouragement and impatience with waiting for her husband. The pastor and his wife graciously answered her question. She believed that because she had been living right and doing her best to obey God, she would be married by now. You and I both know that\u2019s not always the case, and the pastor pointed this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t obey God to get something from Him. We obey Him because of what He has already done for us. Marriage is not promised to us, and the only thing we truly \u201cdeserve\u201d is hell and separation from God. Yet, in His mercy and grace, God didn\u2019t want permanent separation from us, so He sent His Son. I know, waiting on God is not easy, but that doesn\u2019t mean He can\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do we navigate this? Should you wait on God to bring your spouse to you? I\u2019ve discovered that many Christian singles are tired. They\u2019re tired of dates leading nowhere. They feel tired of being ghosted. They\u2019re done with dating for a few months, only for the other person to change their mind and end things\u2014back to square one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-divine-timing\"><strong>Divine Timing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We hear it all the time: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/how-can-i-trust-gods-timing-for-my-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trust God\u2019s timing.<\/a>\u201d We hear it in sermons, on podcasts, YouTube channels, and social media. If you listen long enough, a Christian married person is going to tell you to trust God\u2019s timing. Unfortunately, it\u2019s said so often that it\u2019s become a clich\u00e9. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if most Christian singles roll their eyes when they hear it. However, let\u2019s see what God\u2019s Word says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,\u201d declares the Lord, \u201cplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\u201d (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you see this? <a href=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/faith-overcame-doubt-in-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">God has plans for us\u2014good plans<\/a>. Certain things happen at specific times. We can\u2019t rush it, and we can\u2019t force it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-story\">My story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember praying before meeting my husband back in 2015. I wanted to be in a relationship so badly that it felt hopeless. Every guy I talked to or liked, the relationship always fizzled out. What I didn\u2019t know was that in February 2015, the same year, my husband gave his life to the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he grew up in church, he hadn\u2019t fully committed to his Christian walk. Reflecting on it now, I see that God needed time to grow and mature my husband in the faith. I tell people all the time, had we met earlier, we would have been <a href=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/unequally-yoked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unequally yoked<\/a>. Like I said, God\u2019s timing is perfect. Is it possible that you\u2019re wanting something prematurely, and God in His mercy is saying \u201cno\u201d for now because what He has for you isn\u2019t ready yet? Something to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-true-connection\"><strong>True Connection\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While looks are important in a relationship, we know they will fade with time. How you look in your twenties doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll look the same in your sixties. Sure, you can take care of yourself, but what\u2019s on the inside matters, too. While online dating has increased people\u2019s chances of finding the right person, too many individuals place too much weight on outward appearance without doing their due diligence to evaluate character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Lord said to Samuel, \u201cDo not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.\u201d (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How is this person with their finances? Do they treat their family and friends with love? How do they treat people they don\u2019t know? You need to know these things to determine if it\u2019s a true connection. I\u2019m telling you, in marriage, life and the enemy will try to destroy your bond with your spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all you have are surface things in common with no substance, you won\u2019t stand when the storms of life come. There\u2019s nothing wrong with building a friendship and allowing it to grow into something more. Most Christian singles are afraid of being friend-zoned, but they fail to see that friendship is where it begins. Passion is great, but life will happen, and it takes more than passion to keep a marriage strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe.jpeg\" alt=\"guy and girl hugging\" class=\"wp-image-2181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe.jpeg 775w, https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nrb.ttm.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ro-ricci-dupe-12x12.jpeg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personal-growth\"><strong>Personal Growth\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I know this is another one that most Christian singles don\u2019t like to hear. We hear all the time, \u201csingleness is the time to grow and focus on what God has called you to do.\u201d Some Christian singles take this time to explore their calling, while others get intentional and work on emotional wounds through therapy and counselling. Some may feel like, \u201cI am working on myself, how much more do I need to do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-the-work-stop\">Does the work stop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you be perfect when you get married, with nothing else to work on? No, you\u2019ll still need to work on yourself in marriage. In fact, the growth kicks into high gear because now your spouse is reflecting you back to yourself. They will show things in you, both good and bad, so now is the time to work on yourself while single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God showed me this in prayer. Remember I mentioned 2015? I didn\u2019t just pray without a response. God clearly told me that I needed to work on some things and heal. I thought I was okay, but the Holy Spirit peeled back layers. Some things I felt ashamed about, but in His loving kindness, He showed me that I didn\u2019t have to carry the \u201cbaggage\u201d into my future marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I fully arrive by the time I got married in 2023? No, but I\u2019m in a much healthier and more emotionally mature place for my husband. I know how to extend much more grace and compassion to him because God showed me how to extend it to myself. I am a recovering perfectionist, and I\u2019m so glad God revealed this to me before meeting my husband. He\u2019s free to be authentic because I\u2019m not placing unrealistic expectations on him, as I once did on myself. Let God work on your heart in this season. Your spouse will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avoid-heartache\"><strong>Avoid Heartache<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, had I met my husband in 2015 or earlier, it wouldn\u2019t have worked out. He wasn\u2019t fully committed to the Lord, and I would have been hurt. He was also in another relationship and wasn\u2019t ready to let go of his ex-girlfriend, even though he knew deep down it wasn\u2019t fruitful. I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t like being caught in the middle, and I wasn\u2019t about to prove I was worthy of being chosen. I had too much self-respect to try and convince a man to pick me. Now, I know that God protected my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rejection-is-god-s-protection\">The rejection is God&#8217;s protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it possible that God is protecting your heart? You think you want this person, but He knows it\u2019s not going to work out. Would you rather be disappointed now that it didn\u2019t work out at the beginning, or would you rather get your heart entangled with someone who\u2019s only going to slow down your purpose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be hard to digest, but your calling and purpose are important to God, and He\u2019s not going to give you to just anybody. Your heart is too precious to Him. I can\u2019t tell you how many stories I\u2019ve heard from Christian singles who said regretfully, \u201cI should\u2019ve waited on God\u201d or \u201cI knew God was warning me, but I ignored it.\u201d Yes, God will heal and restore, but some things don\u2019t have to happen if we would only listen to the Holy Spirit\u2019s promptings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follow-peace\">Follow peace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know what I mean. You\u2019re going out with someone but don\u2019t have peace. It feels forced. You desperately want to be in a relationship, but deep down, you can\u2019t see a future with them. Do you really think God wants that for you? I\u2019m here to tell you that there needs to be alignment between you and your future spouse. When it\u2019s God, you won\u2019t have to force it. How do I know? I\u2019m experiencing it. Is it easy? No, but there\u2019s an ebb and flow, and most importantly, the peace of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know you want love. That\u2019s what every human being desires. But remember, your desire for true love can only be fulfilled in Jesus Christ alone. If you\u2019re looking for another person to complete you, even with the right person, you still won\u2019t be satisfied. Can you trust God\u2019s timing? I know some of you have been waiting for a long time. Many haven\u2019t even been on a date, but that doesn\u2019t mean God has forgotten you. You\u2019re not damaged goods. You\u2019re worth loving, and the right person will see that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-compromise\">No compromise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I know you don\u2019t want to settle. You desire a true connection with someone who sees a future with you. They choose you, and that\u2019s worth waiting for. Yes, do your part and put yourself out there, but remember, only God is in control of the results. In the meantime, keep working on you. There\u2019s always something we can grow in, so never feel like you have arrived. What if God wants your undivided attention now, before a spouse shows up? Can you surrender this part of your life to Him, knowing He\u2019s working on your future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust Him. God cares about your heart even more than you do. He doesn\u2019t want the wrong person to abuse it. Do you think God wants to see you heartbroken? Not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18, NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God doesn\u2019t want you to be crushed, so don\u2019t get ahead of Him and connect your heart to someone who\u2019s not from Him. In fact, God wants to work through your marriage to point people back to Jesus. How powerful is that? Knowing that your love story can lead people to the Gospel. Most Christian singles are so focused on finding love that they fail to see how God can get glory from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kingdom-marriage\">Kingdom marriage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your relationship can give God glory. It can bring encouragement to others and inspire them to wait for a kingdom relationship. We need more of them on earth, especially with both the world and the church losing hope in healthy relationships. I pray you don\u2019t lose hope. Don\u2019t give up, and keep believing God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.be-salt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christ-centered relationship<\/a>?
