Meeting Catholic Singles

[JeffAustralia]

I also found my wife because I refused to stop looking. If I wasn’t actively looking, I’d probably still be single. It’s NOT good for a man to be alone, I say.

Considered the Philippines? 85% Catholic. Millions of pretty Catholic girls with old-fashioned values who dream of meeting a decent man? That’s where my wife’s from. The most Christian person I’ve ever met, and from a family of 10 Catholic kids.

One of my great-grandfathers met his wife by going to his parish priest and complaining that there weren’t any good Catholic girls to marry. Just so happened that earlier a Catholic girl had gone to the same priest and complained there weren’t any good Catholic boys to marry. The priest introduced them to each other, and the rest is history.

Wow, are we related? My grandparents met nearly the same way!

To the OP I highly recommend telling friends and family that you are interested. I met my husband because he saw me talking to a mutual friend and asked about me. It was so funny that one of the first things she told him about me was, “She’s VERY Catholic.” He wasn’t Catholic at the time but had always been interested. He was received into The Church a week before we married. You never know what God has in store for you or for your future spouse.

Above all, pray for your spouse. You might not know her yet, but God does.

How very very true! And if you stop looking, you could be saying NO to God trying to get you both together. In October 1996, my civil-wedding-wife-of-10-years told me the marriage was over because she met someone else. I thought my world had come to an end. The same month and the same year (and in another country), my future-wife (destined-wife?) became pregnant, and then found out her “fiance” was already married. She thought HER life had come to an end. It just so happens I’d been craving to have a daughter, and wife-leaving put an end to that…so I thought. I now know the true meaning of unconditional love…to and from a wife AND a daughter!!..all blessed by the Sacrament of Matrimony in the Catholic Church (which I wasn’t a part of then either). God loves all of us…Catholic or not-yet-Catholic.

That’s an inspiring thought, LittleDeb. Thank you.

Before you make a commitment to choir make sure you take a look at her left hand first! I’ve done stupid things to try to meet a specific girl and almost always they are engaged or married.

I always make a point, whenever I see a girl who I might be interested in, to check out her left hand for that very reason.

I have been going through the same problem for awhile–can’t find anyone! And actually, I DID meet two wonderful women around my age at my parish. In both instances, they were devout, beautiful, and amazing people. But guess what? In both instances, it turned out they were feeling called to the religious life! That happened to me twice in a row! Can you believe it?

Now, certainly, I’m all for an increase in religious vocations, but what are the odds that when I talk to two separate girls on two separate occasions, they will both tell me that they feel God is calling them to be nuns! I must keep praying…
