Matchmaker

I have found that there are many who have a hobby of matchmaking. They become mentally and emotionally excited when they meet a single.

Most married people cannot begin to imagine what it is like to be single. Yet HALF the adult population in the Dallas county is single. I have been single for ALL my life. I am NOT seeking a mate. While I cannot change your attitudes I can provide information so we can coordinate.

Here are some facts that might be of interest to you. I have been engaged three times before and never married. I have fallen in love more than seven times. (I will share parts of that background here as needed.)

What I know today is that I am a ROMANTIC. I LOVE to court women. Courting a women costs time and money. The courtship phase is critical to the success of the marriage.

I am not a virgin. I have no children. I do not have Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs. I am celibate. I was last sexually active during the backslidden years in the early 90s.

If I do not marry that is okay.

I have the gift of celibacy.

I highly value the independence and solitude that single life provides.

I fully intend to be engaged for more than a calendar year. That gives both a long time to get to know each other and to go through the seasons. For me engagement is NOT a rush to make wedding preparations. It is a PROBATIONARY season. This is the time to explore the possibility of a LIFE LONG commitment. It is Okay to END the engagement for any or no reason. Better to break an engagement and get over it than go into a bad marriage.

It is my plan to get married on Valentines Day. I wish to celebrate my wedding anniversary by holding a banquet on that date. It would give me great joy and help the marriage as we sow these seeds annually.

Here is what I am seeking in a wife:

NOT NEGOTIABLE
INTELLIGENT - She is able to understand this huge and complex ministry.
ARTICULATE - She is able to express her thoughts and feelings effectively.
AFFECTIONATE - She enjoys touching, hugging and cuddling (like me).
CHARACTER - Her Christ like character qualities are proven, for they will be tested.
COMMITMENT - She has a commitment to follow Jesus Christ first and foremost.
CALLING - Her calling compliments and supplements mine in deep and wide ways.
