Why can't the young and the old find the right person?

Why can't the young and the old find the right person for Marriage?

I am posting this in each section, because of the importance in getting responses.



I look back when I met my ex-wife 35 years ago. We bumped into each other in a parking lot. We smiled at each other, and then we talked to each other. Then I called her for a date and we both knew soon after, we were in love. We were not equally yoked, but the pastor from my church didn't put emphasis on the matter, after 27 years of marriage, then came our divorce. Can we really find Love on the Internet? Many say they can.

I have a son 30 and a daughter 24 and neither are in a relationship. I see more young people on here than the older ones. I believe people are not the same as they were 40 years ago. People today would rather surf the web for a date than look for a date. People in general don�t smile to strangers, let alone speak to strangers. If they do, they would rather text on the phone or email than call them again.

The core to the problem, people are interested in their gadgets and their busy lives more than the fellowship in talking with them in person. We need to get back to the Golden Rule that we have lost over the years. We should be kind and love everyone, that is what the Bible tells us to do!



Is it because we are living in the last days?

In the Book of Daniel he tells us people will go to and fro and knowledge will increase. We see this today in so many ways.

Another word for the Internet is going to and fro, along with how fast we can get anywhere on this earth today.



Would love to hear what others think about this issue.

Yes I think the last day's has something to do with things in general.It really does take a close walk in the Lord to be sucessful in relationships.people give up too easy nowadays.Relationships require alot of work.I still believe in love,and that it can still happen to the young and the old.

On dating, I have become VERY old school. I don't think people should date all willy-nilly. Its about finding the right one. My boy Daves parents don't sleep in the same bed anymore, but they are married and faithful. I don't think they are "happy" per se, but I imagine that once I get married and my wife gets sick of me (my jokes are old...), that I will probably be the same way. I don't want to think that it would ever happen, and I don't look down on those that have done it (personal experience). But I don't want to divorce "the one" for me. That's why I'm taking my time and doing it RIGHT. Thank you God, I was a knucklehead, but now I see!

The short answer is yes. We've simultaneously edified and dehumanized ourselves to the point of our own destruction. You think it's bad now? Wait til martial law gets declared and family members start ratting on family members and Christians start ratting on Christians. There is no turning back. You can't stop prophecy. This is how it was supposed to be since the days when Daniel, prophecies in the book of Ezekiel and the book of Revelation were written. The way I see it, this is God's planet. We just live on it, we're renters. If we want to continue to lead ourselves down the primrose path, sooner or later He will allow us to do just that. The best part is, we ( as His beloved creation ) deserve it.
