I don't know why I am depressed. My deepest aspiration is just to get married, live a life with that person, and die happy, I'm afraid my aspieness is going to prevent that from happening.
You know what, same here...For me...it's marriage with a soul mate + realization of self (learning, creating and healing...)
Honestly I don't have the answer for you or for myself regarding this matter (marriage)...
I feel that if I believe in God, this is the part of my life where I have to sum up all the faith I ever had in God...because, as it says in the Bible, I truly agree that a good spouse or the love of your life comes from God...because the human heart itself is void of love...it has to be kindled by the divine in order to glow with love...(and I'm not saying that you have to be a Christian for this to happen because God loves you and blesses you whether you are a Christian or not...what I'm saying is that love is God's present...and He gives it to whom He pleases to give it to.)
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. (Proverbs 18:22)
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD (Proverbs 19:14)
So...I'll include you in my prayer...so that you may find your love...although it might not mean very much to you...
Well, another thing is...I find that God doesn't always give me what I asked for...
For example, I sincerely prayed to get into an Ivy League school but it didn't happen...I was very disappointed...but...I thanked God for sending me to another school....and I think it turned out to be a better option for me....
So when I pray for a husband, I'm also acknowledging that God might not give me one...and although I would be very disappointed, I have faith in Him that it was probably a better option for me...
However, even if that was the case, I think I will be bugging God to give me a husband until the end of my life...
So...what I'm saying is...although there is no guarantee, I will pray for you and pray for me and believe that God will give us spouses!
