You are the deceiver. Answer for the lies you tell. You either know that you lie. Or you are ignorant to the subject and don’t know you lie. BUT GOD JUDGES THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN!!
Have been offering prayers, sacrifices, sufferings, works for around 16 years already for my future husband and for us to finally meet. I also write letters to him, attend events, improve myself, put God first....been tempted lately to give up, but I don't want so many years of my hard work to go to waste....Please pray for me that we finally, finally meet and start dating each other. I still desire to be a good Catholic wife and mother all these years
Maybe you want it too badly? Can you be happy whether or not you find a husband? Having a happy or contented or grateful disposition for what you already have will make you more attractive to a husband. Being needy or desperate for a husband will make you less attractive. Being happy or content without a husband will attract one better than being unhappy without one or needy for one. We tend to feel good about ourselves when fortunate things come our way. We tend to feel bad about ourselves when unfortunate things come our way. But our goodness isn't or shouldn't be dependent on fortunate or unfortunate circumstances we can't control. As Jesus said his Father's sun shines on both the good and the bad, and his rain falls on both the righteous and the unrighteous. He also said that those on whom the tower in Jerusalem fell were no worse than anyone else. Being without a husband doesn't make you worse of a person. Finding a husband won't make you good. We also tend to feel even better about ourselves if we accomplish something we want. We put work into it and feel good or proud of ourselves for it. We feel accomplished. If we fail to get what we want, or fail to accomplish our goals, or our work wasn't fruitful, then we tend to feel bad about ourselves as failures. We feel dejected. Sometimes we feel depressed. But we shouldn't feel this way. Our sense of well-being shouldn't be dependent on whether or not we feel accomplished. If we have good will, act in good faith, put good effort into what we do, then that is enough to feel good about ourselves because it shows we have good character. If we fail to get what we want or fail to meet our goals, then it was because circumstances were outside our control. We did our part by having good will, acting in good faith, and putting good effort into it. No one should blame us for that. Good will is caring, kindness, love, charity, concern, seeking what's good. Acting in good faith is honesty, forthrightness, integrity, trustworthiness, hopefulness. Good effort is fortitude, endurance, following through, skillfulness. Of course wisdom or prudence matters. We need wisdom to know whether or not what we want is truly good or worth the effort. We need self knowledge to know whether we have the ability to make it happen. As Jesus said not to lay a foundation of a house if we don't have the means to finish it. We need prudence to know when to let go of something which is too difficult to continue. Sometimes fortitude is folly or stubbornness. You don't have to give up as much as give in. Don't be so much willful as willing. But, how do we know if we have the ability without trying? It's better to try and fail than it is to never try for fear of failure. Many things and circumstances are outside our control, they are not in our domain, or we can effect them for the better only so much. But our will, faith, and effort are in our control or in our domain. We can choose to have good will vs ill will, good faith vs bad faith, and good effort vs poor effort. All things are ultimately in God's control or in his domain, but he put only our wills, faith, and effort in our domains. God's kingdom is his domain. Jesus said the kingdom of God is within. That part of God's kingdom he put within us are our wills, faith, and effort. We should seek this first and establish this well within us. As Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God, then all the other good things will be added. Good will, good faith, good effort make for a good and happy and content and grateful disposition. They make for a blessed kingdom within. A blessed disposition is a be-attitude within. Marriage may or may not be in your control, so don't feel bad about yourself for not having it. Don't give up on it, but give into that reality and be content. Sometimes fortitude is folly. If you have put good effort into it, give the work of finding a husband a rest. Just because you are resting doesn't mean God has given up on working on you. Work on your good will and good faith. A good disposition might attract a good husband. If not, you still will be blessed with the good disposition, and you will appreciate all the more all the other good graces God has given you. A good disposition is essential for happiness. Getting what you want but don't need isn't essential for happiness. With a good disposition, you can be happy whether or not you get what you want but don't need. Jesus told Martha that she worried about many things, but only a few things were needed. Her sister contently sat at Jesus' feet learning to be happy with a happy disposition. St Paul wasn't married. He mentioned the other Apostles had wives to accompany them and comfort them. He also mentioned he had found the secret to contentment whether he found himself in good circumstances or bad circumstances. He also prayed fervently to have a thorn in the flesh removed. He couldn't accomplish its removal himself. It wasn't in his control or domain. It wasn't removed by God either, but he received an answer to prayers, "My grace is sufficient for you." Gratitude for God's graces already received makes for a good disposition of happiness or contentment with yourself within not dependent on circumstances you can't control. With grace, gratitude (thanksgiving-eucharist), good will, good faith, good effort, what more do we need to be happy?
@markpatterson2517 thanks but I have done all these. I'm not making an idol out of marriage. I've tried to put God first in my life by being faithful, having a prayer life, obeying the Commandments.
@@user-pf3ei6gw1f are you still putting yourself out there? As in asking any that you maybe attracted to out, their number, or trying to conversate? Just wondering, I'm in a similar dilemma and wanna encourage you.
To increase the odds of finding a good spouce is to be a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic attending at a Traditional Latin Mass Parish where the Parishioners are Traditional minded. Novus Ordo Catholics are not as Traditional minded and are not much different than the World.
Habitual dating is a harmful practice not historically a custom in the Church, or any devout religious community. Arranged marriages are the practice shown to be most successful not only in the Bible and Church history but also objectively as assessed by statisticians.
What is the hardest thing about Catholic dating in today's world? Let me know your opinion here!
they are brain washed and don't care what the Truth really is.
You are the deceiver. Answer for the lies you tell. You either know that you lie. Or you are ignorant to the subject and don’t know you lie. BUT GOD JUDGES THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN!!
I be outdoing myself in prayers, novenas & fasting for my future spouse & im tiredddddd of waiting 😭 im praying for patience now 😂
Keep hope 😄 it won’t be long now!
I have been praying for 10 years for a Catholic girl friend and God answer my prayers. Amen.
Marriage, not just priesthood, is a vocation. A vocation is a call from God to serve Him and His Church.
I am not married and I am not a priest. I had a strong calling to do cybersecurity. I haven't found anyone.
lol whut
Good advice. Thanks, I pray my future spouse can be someone who loves family.

'perfect catholic' -- oxymoron, since catholicism isn't even Christianity.
