Advice for Singles From People Who Met Their Spouse After 30 (Special Podcast Highlight)


Listen Later

If you're feeling the weight of being single in your late 20s or 30s, you're definitely not alone. Timmerie dives deep into the frustrations of "chronically single" folks who are tired of hearing the same old advice. 

 

But here's the good stuff: Timmerie gathered wisdom from people who finally met their spouses after 30. These stories are like a warm hug for anyone feeling discouraged. 

 

Top Tips:

 

Take Breaks: Dating burnout is real. One woman said it's crucial to take breaks so you can put your best foot forward when you're ready to date again.

 

Treat It Like a Goal: Want to get married? Approach it like any other goal—keep at it, even if it's exhausting.

 

Trust in God: This one came up a lot. Trust that God's timing is better than yours. It might not make sense now, but it will.

 

Focus on Virtue: One guy admitted he was single because he was a coward and insecure. His advice? Grow in virtue and faith. It changes everything.

 

Be Chaste: A woman shared how her lack of chastity in her 20s and 30s made things harder. Staying chaste helps you evaluate relationships more clearly and avoid unnecessary heartache.

 

Some advice hit home hard, like the woman who said, "Don't spend your 20s only focusing on your career." She found that by the time she was ready to date seriously, the pool of eligible men had shrunk—and many were intimidated by her achievements. 

 

But it's not all doom and gloom. One woman shared how she met her husband in a totally unexpected way—God "tricked" her by lowering her defenses. Now, they're proud grandparents!  It's a beautiful reminder that it's never too late for love, and God’s plan is always better, even if it doesn’t fit our timeline.

 

So, if you’re single and struggling, take heart. These stories are full of hope and proof that your story isn’t over yet.  Trust, pray, and know that you’re not alone in this journey. God’s got you!
