Now, all of that is not to say that this is not the year when you will get married.  I don’t know what God is saying to you.  He could have placed this desire on the front burner in your life.  He could be impressing upon you to change your priorities and preparing you to meet your future mate. 

Just make sure you wait on the Lord and trust in him.  He will show you what He wants you to do.  He may have you join a dating service.  Or he may have you read a particular book or socialize with a certain group of people.  Just make sure that he is the one who is leading you to do these things. 

Now, how you will you know that?  By spending time with the Lord, so that you may recognize his voice and know him better (John 10:4, Ephesians 1:17).  Study the Scriptures and make Proverbs 3:5-6 your daily motto.

In the meantime, fill your life with meaningful activities and uplifting friends.  And love and serve the Lord in all that you do.  He is more than able to bring that certain someone to you and fit him into your life.
