brought me a husband yet. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I feel it very unlikely that I will ever get married, let alone have a family. There is such a shortage of christian men. How do I cope with the prospect of facing life as a single person?

Lots of us Christians have no problem understanding evolution, or pointing out why and how it's been shown to be correct theory. But quite a few 7-year-olds can also understand the story of creation and figure out that the truth of evolution in no way discredits it. When you've progressed from reading everything in the manner of "See Spot Run" and worked your way up to more advanced material (say, "The Cat in the Hat"), come back. Right now, you can't tell the difference between literal and figurative material, and so you're functionally illiterate.

There isn't a shortage of Christian men... Actually I guess that depends where you live. But in general, there isn't a shortage.
I assume you have prayed about this quite a bit. Have you talked about it with friends and had your group pray for you about it? The answer from God may indeed be "no." If so, I say walk in the footsteps of Christ. If that is a tall order (and it always is) then try Paul. Paul suggested staying single in hard times. Of course this isn't what you want to hear. Focus on what God wants first and you may very well be surprised someday.

My friend,
don't get me wrong, I am christian and religious too, but I don't think god has said he will be sorting out all the problems for us. He has given us a life so we can make our own decisions and he has given us the gift of thinking, a personality, creativity, a mouth to speak with and lots of others gifts, and he expects us to make use of them and through this show our appreciation.
In plain words:
Help yourself and THEM god will help, too. Just relying on him to take care of your live is lazy and ungrateful.
Aside, get realistic. I don't know where you live, but depending on the culture you might scare away any potential husband if you tell him you want 8 children. Which man has the means, the energy and the will to provide for 9 people?
Do YOU earn that much? If not, how can you expect it from another man?

Get out and socialise more, there are still some good men around, maybe you are looking too hard and you may still find the time to have at least 1 or 2 children, never give up.

Christianity teaches us that your family reaches beyond ties of blood and marriage. Have you considered looking for companionship with the community rather than with an individual?
Volunteering, especially with children, can be satisfying and rewarding, and it could also be a way to find a like minded mate.

Well if you are really that depressed about being single, you have to go out and meet people. Nothing will ever just be handed to you in this life. Since you say you're looking for a "Christian man" I'd suggest for you going to a church social would be your best bet.

Perhaps the thought of 8 children is scaring the men away...
I'm teasing...I believe we are in the very end times and God is not concerned about our getting married at this point in time. He wants us to prepare and be ready. I believe it is this generation, who will see the second coming of Christ. So try and not worry, you won't be single much longer. We are very near. God Bless You....Peace.

Exhort to prayer
1Tm:2:1: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Tm:2:2: For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Tm:2:3: For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Tm:2:4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Tm:2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1Tm:2:6: Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1Tm:2:7: Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
1Tm:2:8: I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
GOD HAS SAVED YOU FROM SUFFERING,ASK THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,SOUL AND MIND AND LET
HIM DO THE REST.DO IT WITH A PURE HEART. GOD BLESS,YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST
