Answer 1

Hello "Who me",

Before answering your question I read some of your other questions.

I think in order for you to establish a strong relationship with another person, you must first establish a strong relationship with God.

You need to know you are loved and valued spiritually, and between you and God, determine your destiny.

It may be to remain single, or to become a wife and a mother. When you know what it is, seek it quietly and patiently, knowing that nothing can prevent God from accomplishing his will.

Do not allow anyone or anything to cause you to lose faith, or devalue yourself. People are worth more than the flesh on their bones. A loving, caring person is hard to come by in this universe.

Read the book "Surrendered Single," it shares some wonderful ideas on relationships. I don't read self-help books but rarely, however, I liked this one.
