I am a 26 year old single man, and have been such for the last 7 or 8 years. Yet in the last few months I have had the feeling of missing my wife and kids. Is there something wrong with me, is it wishful thinking? Or is this my hearts desire coming to the surface?

Because you are not married,and don't have kids yet,what you are felling is loneliness. You have the desire to have a family of your own. (No,nothing is wrong with you!).
There comes a time,when being single (and alone) will make you stop and think,that you don't want it anymore. You want the comforts of a woman,and the pitter-patter of little feet.
You are still young,so don't give up!. There may be some sweet young lady out there,that you may have concidered asking out on a date,and (who knows?), this lady may someday be your wife,and the mother of your children.
Put your best foot forward and go for it. She just might be waiting for you around the corner. (Good Luck)

I will admit that I have a very hard time biting my tongue and walking away but I do agree that it is the best thing to do when it comes to this issue. I have 2 children and I am constantly getting unwanted advice from others. I know they mean well and are not really trying to be rude. Sometimes I will tell them that I already have ideas of my own and perhaps share my ideas with them. This will sometimes shut them up or then they start to argue about how those ideas aren't going to work so then I just change the subject. Like I said, I have a hard time biting my tongue but arguing over something like this doesn't help matters any.

I completely know this feeling. Actually, I've been praying for my husband and kids since I was 12 years old. I'm not married. I think it's not so much wishful thinking. It might be your heart's desire coming to the surface, however. It might be a good idea for you to get on the dating train and maybe find someone.
I think it's a good plan for you to get married if you miss your wife and kids, but it's a purely psychological thing. You might get this feeling if you are particularly lonely.
Nothing is wrong with you. This happens with a lot of people.
Prayers!

Your first problem is that you have been a 26 year old single man for the last 7 or 8 years.

Do you have an ex-wife and kids?
If so, then if she is not married and will consider it, maybe you should try to work it out.
If she is married, try to be the best father you can, and move on, but learn that all the things we do we may regret someday.
If you are just wishing you had a wife and kids, you should know that having a family is very rewarding... But you must love the person you start this family with or it will not work. It will happen, if you want it to, just don't force it.

Sounds like your hearts desire coming to the surface. Go with it...the more you feel it, the more you can make it happen. Maybe it's a sign of good things to come.

Some one is out there waiting for you, and you are meant to meet and marry. it is best to have this feeling to be receptive to the special woman you are meant to meet. There is probably a incident in your childhood where you saw the most beautiful girl. Your eyes met hers, but you where from different places and you didn't talk. You both knew a soaring feeling of knowing. You may not meet her again, but some one like her.

You seems to suggest that you were married when you were younger. If you indeed were married and have fathered children, then it is completely understandable that you have longings for those relationships once again.
marriages outlast separation or divorce papers. Ties between husband and wife and between fathers and children are god-ordained and need to be strengthened, not ignored.
god bless

You are "missing" the fulfillment of the image you have of yourself. You want to exist in a certain environment so you are missing what doesn't truly exist-yet

Are you basically saying you desire to be married and have kids?
God programmed that into us. Men are supposed to have children with their wives and then by example lead them to Jesus and His Father....Sounds normal to me.
