I did not meet a godly guy in my 20s and 30s. Now I am in my 40s, past the age of having my own children. I know God has a plan for me, but I am sad.

This is a heartbreaking situation. I feel for you. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders though. God has a plan for you and you don’t know what it is yet. I pray that you continue to have the faith and trust you have that things will work out for your good

May God honor you and open that door for you. It is hard to wait and keep trusting. I am in my 30s in the waiting period so I understand how that feels. My prayer for you is God to answer you and bring someone who will wipe the tears and hurt from the waiting period.

God has a plan for you. I’m in my 40’s as well with children but a single mother. Continue to trust God and keep the Faith. We have to be patient as he is patient with us. I’m in a similar situation as far as not meeting someone Godly. He fills all voids. Pray for your heart’s desire and continue to do good. You’ll have joy and happiness! Love him and love you.

Not something to take on without much prayer. But have you considered adoption. It can be such a blessing. May God direct your steps and give you wisdom - He has a plan for you. Many blessings to you.

I hate that I still want to hear from him. I just have no idea what I want him to say or what I want to say. I feel like if I get anywhere near him he’ll be able to sense my pain. Are we sure the no contact rule is only 21 days? I feel like I need 21 months.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid .

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

I used to be really bad about not prioritizing my prayer life. But now I pray & talk to God all the time. I’ve seen what prayer does-it can change the trajectory of your life. God tells us to make our prayers & petitions known to Him & to pray without ceasing. What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf.
