Over 35 and never even engaged?!?
Question: I have always prided myself in waiting for the one . She never came along and I wouldn't make a good priest.
Answers: What's the hurry...you are still young and it's great that you have waited and not been quick to jump the gun. Divorce rates are at an all time high and you aren't going to be one of those statistics. My best friend didn't get married until she was 37. It's okay. She will come, don't worry. Don't rush these things...they take time. Obviously you are an intelligent man, or you wouldn't have waited...you know the risks involved. Think of it this way, the longer you wait and the older you are...the less likely you will get a divorce! Don't sweat it, she'll come!
If it makes you feel any better, my fiance is 35 and he's never been married before. She will come along when you least expect it!
What's your questions? It's not so unusual for men to be a bit older when they marry these days, but be careful that you're not pickifying yourself right out of relationships. Make sure your expectations are realistic and that you understand that no woman is perfect. I, personally, don't believe in the One. There are many ones that each of us is compatible with, but most of us aren't open to all of them because of different factors.
Join the club. I'm 49 and I've never even been engaged, either!
Perhaps you don't know yourself yet, or you haven't matured enough to become a husband. Perhaps you are dedicated to your career. Perhaps you have personal or emotional problems you need to work out first. Perhaps your family or your friends get in the way.
I was raised with emotional abuse, and my mother didn't know how to have a good marriage, so I didn't grow up with an example. I didn't care to make myself attractive to men. Also, I have artistic leanings and artistic ambitions.
Jesus said, Some are born eunuchs, some are made eunuchs by men, and some make themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of God.
It could be that you are ready, or almost ready, but the right woman hasn't come. Maybe the woman God has for you isn't ready yet herself!
Concentrate on building your life to please God and to please yourself, to be of service to others, and to express the real you. Do what you enjoy and do what is helpful. Find your true meaning and purpose in life. Build your skills. Do at least a few things that you've always wanted to do but were afraid to try. And of course, have some wise counsel: a good friend, a trustworthy relative, a clergyperson, a therapist.
These things will help give you a life worth living, whether you ever marry or not.
It is not too late. I am on my 3rd marriage (it took 3 times to get it right,lol). I do not regret the 2 failed marriages as I learned valuable things from each, but there is nothing wrong with making sure you marry only once. For now, date and enjoy yourself. You will meet your future wife when you are not looking for her.
I was 38 I think, my wife was 35, first for us both. Don't worry about it.
