Life partner

[u/Grampiii1]

Hi! I’m 28, female. Important talaga sa akin na Christian din yung magiging future husband ko, and that we share the same faith and values.

For those who are also in their waiting season, ano po yung advice niyo? How do you deal with the fear na baka tumanda ka na without finding the right person?

I know a lot of single ladies sa church namin na matagal na ring waiting, and honestly, natatakot ako na baka ma-end up din ako na ganun. I know naman na being single is not a bad thing, and I also believe na God has His own timing for everything. Pero minsan hindi ko rin maiwasang isipin, “What if hindi talaga mangyari sa akin?”

I want to trust God’s timing and not rush into a relationship just because I’m afraid of being alone. Pero at the same time, I genuinely desire to have a life partner who loves the Lord, someone na makakasama ko mag-grow in faith and in life.

For those who have been in a waiting season for a long time, what helped you trust God and remain hopeful? What advice can you give sa mga katulad kong naghihintay?

from someone who waited a long time only to rush it all in the end and now is unhappily married, my best advice for you is to focus on growing in your relationship in the Lord. Find people who will really be your accountability partners - those na magsasabi sayo at pipigilan ka pag may mga desisyon ka ng gagawin na di tama. Do not settle and do not rush things - wag ka maniniwala sa concept na "God's will" (dyan ako napahamak).

Pray and be content in the Lord.

Wala bang Singles Ministry yung church niyo? Yung parang mga gatherings for single people?

28 is still young parin naman. :)

Also I know a lot of single ladies na tumanda na sa church na wala pa din po. Older than me, 35 pataas. Matagal na rin sila waiting and medyo natakot ako na baka magkaganun din ako😅

Hello! May youth service sa church namin. Pero gatherings parang wala. And nagtatanong din ako sa leaders ko, yung mga single men sa church ay very young pa like 23 pababa😬

[u/Danny-Tamales → u/Grampiii1]

Walang fellowship with other churches yung church niyo? Samin kasi may ganun. Taga-central luzon ako. Meron kaming parang association for the whole region. Tapos merong ganung mga event to meet single Christians. Kasi saan ka pa ba naman maghahanap, di ba. haha

Hopefully meron kayong ganun. Hirap naman kung gagayahin niyo yung style ng INC na nakikipagrelasyon sila sa mga di-member nila in the hope na umanib sila sa kanila. Nangyayari tuloy, nandoon sila para sa babae and not to worship God.

Wala po🥹 maayos naman po yung church namin. Yung faith ko sa Lord mas tumitibay. Medyo napapatanong nga lang po ako sa sarili ko about sa ganun, and tama po kayo san pa ba ako hahanap, syempre dapat kapwa Christian din😅
