Since my mother died I have been very lonely. My sister and I are very close but not as close as I would like us to be. Recently, after 15 years of singleness and celibacy I have begun to ask God to send me a husband. (I divorced my first husband due to his infidelity.) Recently one man and I have become very interested in each other as possible mates through Internet correspondence. We are both scripturally divorced Christians. I have given my heart to this man. I fear that our relationship will not work out and my heart will be broken. I also fear that our relationship will work out and that marriage is not really the right thing for me. I feel I may be called to singleness. My life is quite ideal and fulfilled except for the lack of romantic love and my loneliness. I feel our relationship has reached a turning point. This is something only God can work out. He and I need God to tell us if marriage is right and if so work it out for us or if it is not tell us that too and quickly heal our broken hearts.

Sister,
I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you and your friend. That the Lord will reveal this to you very soon whether or not to be married, and whether or not this is the right one for you, that there will be no doubt and fear from the decisions you will make. May the hand of the Lord be with you now and in the future.
God said in Genesis that it was not good for man (mankind) to be alone. He did not say that everyone had to be married in order not to be alone. There are many holy activities that single people can do together, that draw the two closer to God. Paul wrote that it was good to be single. He did not say that it was better to be single than married.
Holy Spirit fill this couple with wisdom, in the name of Jesus Christ. I pray that if this is the man for you that you will soon know this in your spirit, and that if he is not for you that he will soon depart in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen!
