How to find the future spouse God has for you

[Rookie]

Twenty-years ago I foolishly got hooked into a woman God never intended me to be with, and it was the worst relationship I ever endured. At first she was the one insisting we were meant for each other, even crying over all over the place and giving me a huge guilt trip over it. Case in point for why one had better be praying, or they could end up getting lassoed into the absolute worst situations, and tied up spiritually for years in a total waste of time.

That's what I fear, I fear my desire for the outward may thwart the need for the inside to be pure. Then the reverse I fear, I fear I will get married to a Godly woman but I will be...... completely unattractived.... but just being obedient.

I remember those days .

Im not the best to offer advice on this .all I'm gonna say is well it's a commitment that is more then just a piece of paper . Looking back I might not have done it but I did and here I am .one learns how faulty one is when the wedding bells are long ago and one starts having health issues or Is older .

When the body isn't all that to look at ,when the storms have beat on the marriage and it still stands .the shallow of romantic love is never what keeps you .

Let me ask you something. Do you feel you have a strong call of God on your life? Yes or no.

Don't get me started.

Watch out for manipulative women. Women tend to manipulate to get what they want and men tend to threaten.

Hey guys, know it's been a while since this thread. But an update, I haven't been perfect, but still seeking Christ been reading a few books that have been tearing me apart (but thank God for it). I've learned a new perspective on marriage, the why of marriage rather than the who. Accepting that character always tops physical appearance or emotional chemistry or relational ability. Thinking about what mother I would want for my offspring, and what daughter-in-law I would want for my parents, rather than just me.

While I haven't found anyone yet, lately I've been taking a slight interest in someone. Thing is I feel that's impossible because she lives 6-7 hours away, has quite a few of a company around her and lots of friends (I get discouraged when to approach anyone who's popular, since I'm mainly introverted), and she's a pastor's daughter whom I really respect. Tbh I don't even want to even think about it because it seems so out of the question, and I know I'm not worthy of her and she is like way beyond me. So yeah, idk...
