Waiting on God for a mate can be one of the most agonizing challenges ever. In one of my previous blogs, I emphasized having an enjoyable life in your singleness. However, let's touch on some of the realities of waiting and specifically why we are waiting.
WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SO LONG JUST TO RECEIVE A MATE?
One of the main reasons we are waiting for so long to receive a mate is because today's culture is different than in previous times. Years ago men and women were reared to marry young and start families. Women didn't have the freedoms we enjoy now, and many women could not compete with men in education and career. Women were also more moral and did not have sexual exploits as a whole before marriage. However, things have changed, for the good and for the bad. It's wonderful that women can become educated, establish careers, own and operate companies, and exercise our gifts and talents . Unfortunately, some of us may become overly driven and don't put that same time and effort into securing a mate. If you don't have balance, some men may find it as a turn off. They may not even realize that you desire a mate. The Proverbs 31 woman was very industrious, however she had balance.
Economical
Uncertain economical times is making home ownership and financial security more difficult than it was in previous years. People who would usually be excited by marriage and make good partners, may now be turned off by money issues surrounding marriage. Some never feel that it is the "right time" for marriage, so they temporarily "opt out" of marriage until they feel they are established. This leaves more single people without a mate for longer periods of time.
