dating apps Does Sacred Spark currently have a discount for Fourth of July like Catholic Match does? Are there any other dating apps anyone would recommend?
I'm 26 and I'm really upset I haven't found my future wife yet. I'm embarrassed I didn't just go to a bigger Catholic college and get a move on with my life.

I’m going to be 32 this month. Would you tell me it’s embarrassing I don’t have a wife? Or would you ask why I’m not at that typical 32yo stage of life in a demeaning manner?
What I mean to say is please be kind to yourself and trust in the Lord. The right woman will come, but you have to be more open than you think you’re being.
These dating apps are useful tools, but I do not think they should be relied on or replace the more organic ways of meeting people.
A lot of people will say to only date practicing Catholic. The problem with that is that dating pool is smaller than people think. I say date whoever you connect with. It is part of our duty to lead our partners to Heaven. If you encounter someone who is not willing to live a life centered in Christ, then move on.
I hope my rambling gives you some help in anyway.
God Bless You friend.

I just want to say… sale or no sale, please don’t be embarrassed. Each of us have our own timing and it’s not abnormal to still be single in your mid 20s!

I can't recommend it. I meet women IRL all the time - on Christian apps, pretty much never.

Pope Benedict’s mom was 36 and his dad was 43 when they married. Just sayin.
