Hello. I'm new to the DC area and am looking for a church that is right for me. I'm Catholic but have recently been feeling like I should be attending a different kind of church. I want to learn more and grow in my faith and am hoping to find a church in this area that will help me do that. I'm excited at the prospect of participating in this site and praying for one another.

Hi! I'm new here, but let me say how thrilled I am to find this blog!! I am a 40 year old single mom. I do so desire to be married, but I know that I still have many issues in my life that God is seeking to work on. I struggle with insecurity, issues of rejection, anger/outbursts of wrath and approval addiction. So, is there any hope for me? I must be transparent and tell you all that I am recently heartbroken. A male friend who I've known since I was 17 has come back into my life right after Hurricane Katrina(I'm from New Orleans). He is divorced and has an eight year old son. He admitted to having feelings for me early on and instead of nipping it in the bud and telling him I didn't feel the same I just let it go. However, I did become very close to him and we would talk every evening. We had so many things in common (something I've never had before and have been BEGGING God for). Now, here comes the 'But'...But he was not a christian. I know, I know. God's word prohibits that. That should be sufficient for me and I shouldn't have even entertained the relationship, but I figured "Hey, he's my friend, right?" Now we've ended on somewhat of a sour note and I'm devastated. I think that I don't trust God to bring me someone that I'll be attracted to, have many things in common with AND be a believer/Godly man who loves Jesus. Since becoming a christian in 1994, I've not had any relationships with believers(men), only lost men. What is wrong with me? I know it's wrong. If I may be so bold, may I ask for prayer? I'm heartbroken, grieved over the possible loss of a good friend and scared that God will never bring me the right one. On top of that, I fear that I'll never "get it together" enough to be good marriage material. Help! Reply »

Candice, I will admit that I have not been too fond of the stance that you have taken on the quest for marriage. Now, admittedly I am engaged, so this is easy now, but I have read your stuff prior to my fiance, and have been seriously disturbed by the emphasis you have placed on marriage as a completer for a fulfilled life. And quite frankly, this doesn't jive well with me. Would I not be able to be a whole and a content woman of God without a main squeeze (as my dad calls it) in my life? From where I stand, God created me single and if I meet THE guy great, but if not...can still offer my life completely over to Him and be successful in the workplace, ministry, and community? Reply »

Is it possible for a man, after a track record of treating women badly in relationships to genuinely change for the better because he has now met the woman he wants to marry? And is it also possible for that marriage to succeed although it is his third marriage, and they have known each other for only three months? Reply »

Hello, new to this website and a little shy about joining although am glad that one exsists. Have felt guilty about the strong desire to be married. I understand that it should not be our sole purpose in life like looking for the holy grail, and I also understand that God has to be number 1 in our lives and He is for me. But if we have this desire isnt it possible that God placed it in us.I hear so many opposing christian views on this issue, really tired of feeling guilty for these wants. Any feedback would be appreciated. Reply »

I'm nearly done reading Get Married and love almost all of it. One thing, though, that I'm really struggling with is the way that the book seems to leave out those of us gals who are involved with singles groups, know and interact with older married couples, try to show interest in those amazing single guys who could be husband potential...but have yet to be pursued. It seems like an emphasis is placed on those that have turned down potential spouses in their early years or who are "delaying marriage"...but that's not me. I'm 27 years old and have only dated two guys. The first was an amazing guy who was answering God's call to the ministry. We were friends through church for nearly a year before dating. Due to his busy schedule and being nearly 500 miles apart, the timing was not right and he ended our "courtship" after a short, 2-month relationship. We still talk occasionally, even 8 years later. The second was a guy that I met on Eharmony three years ago. We seemingly hit it off but he broke up with me 2 1/2 month later. I've not spoken to him since. I haven't had a date in 3 years and haven't been asked out by any of the guys at my singles group in the 4 1/2 years that I've been involved there. (which is an active and growing group). Maybe I just missed it in the book, but besides praying, which I know is extremely important, what can we gals do? I show interest, ask questions, be where the guys are (in a non-stalker kind of way). Feel free to respond with any ideas or suggestions. :) Thanks and God bless! Reply »

Hello Ladies, I'm super new at this. I finished reading Candance's book and I loved it. I'm ready to start praying boldly. But I need a team, do you girls have a list going? do you actually pray here? I'm a bit lost. How does it work? thanks! Reply »

Hi all! I just read Candice's book and she has renewed my commitment to getting married. I am currently in a 9 month relationship with a wonderful guy who I may want to marry. I love him very much and I am praying boldly for God to help me decide if he is the right one for me. On Candice's suggestion, I have set up a dinner date for him with my dad in 3 weeks (they live in cities on opposite sides of the country so they have never met). I am very nervous! Reply »
