You touch on so many things I struggle with myself. It helps me feel less alone and "normal" as I am going through this - and the verses you refer to will help tremendously. Thank you and many blessings.

I'm only 24 yrs old but somehow ever since I was young I'd always believe deep in my heart that I can never get married bcoz I'm 'weird'. However, I'm crazy of Hindi movies because I believe in finding your one tru love but thats in my fantasy world, not the real world. Reading your article has made me realised how many lies of Satan I've agreed with such as being not capable enough, not good enough etc. Thank you for this article. Although I don't have any prob with being single for now in a few years to come as I want to be independent 1st, I do hope deep doen inside that I can be married and have a family of my own one day, and yr article has brought me that hope. God bless you =)

I enjoyed the article. I am about ten years older than the author; when I was thirty-two, I thought I had all the time in the world. The last time I enjoyed sexual intimacy was August 1997--yes, you read it right--that's a nine! I am now forty-one, and my choice to be faithful and abstain has cost me the chance to have children of my own at all. I feel like I have lost so incredibly much. Could your editors work up an article or two for us more middle-aged single women? I enjoyed the article and wish the author the best.
