Liberty,
Men and women need to be friends or it won't work. I knew my husband a couple of years before we dated. He was a good friend and it evolved into something more. We dated a very short time before we got married. Part circumstances and we were very comfortable with each other because we were friends.
I don't know if God has intentions of me being with someone but I am sure he will let me know if and when the time arrives.

Okay...
All of this is food for thought. There are so many possibilities, so many situations....who better to discuss it with than people who share a common belief ...The Lord( and God od course).
I didn't really have a friendship with my daughter's dad. That's really odd though because we were together (off ad on) for about 10-11 years.
I did not really have a relationship with my dad so it was easy for me to get into a relationship quickly not knowing the importance of a friendship. I was young too.
I know now that friendship is imperative .How can you think about a long term anything with anyone without friendship?

We must be sure to stay in Gods Word that we may know who is God sent and who are the wolves in sheeps clothing.

Hey Liberty,

A good book that I recommend to every single woman I meet is "Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry: Why women lose when we give in" by Lisa Bevere. It has a lot of great information on what the bible says on the topic of being single, godly relationships, and God's plan for our lives.

Liberty I believe that there are still relationships like that. An ideal Godly relationship would be this... friends first, then after prayer and knowing that this person is the one you become one spiritually first (praying together, bible studies, going to church), then you become emotionally, after that and after marriage you become one physically. If you want to know what the perfect Godly relationship would be with detail you should read the book,"Choosing Gods Best". And trust is very important in allowing God to bring you your soulmate, and i not only believe, but i know that God will send me the one.

Dear all,

am really glad to find this site...I was kicked out of another single parents website..because they said I was too preachy...posting bible verses etc..

would be glad to exchange Biblical views with all of u

I have come to decide that I wouold rather live alone but with God and pleasing God than to live with someone and distance myself from God.

So to answer your question, no, I do not think a woman should pursue a man. Yes, I am trusting God that what ever happens, my life glorifies Him. I believe in my heart that if God intends for me to marry, if I am in His will, I will. the Bible also talks about certain kinds of wives being a curse to their husbands and I would rather wait on the Lord so I can be a blessing to someone than to take the one I think is right and end up being a curse.LOL [/qb]

Hello, I am new to this site. It has been really encouraging to see all facets of single mothers. I am a single mother of two girls, ages 6 & 4. I am also a Christian homeschooler who works part-time, who happens to be in her twenties. With that being said, it is really difficult to find people in my area who are of like mind. And men are no exception!

I agree a 100% with Pita. Anything that is done outside of the will and timing of God, will not be easy and without consequences. Sometimes, I am really sad that my girls are growing up without a "daddy". But then I realize that they do have a heavenly father who loves them even more than I do. And who has our best interest at heart. So I will continue to wait on that man that God has designated for his girls. And I have a feeling that his choice will be much better than mine.

God Bless!
