I've been surfing looking at other single LDS blogs to get ideas (and scope out the competition!) for my own blogspot titled Oldmaidmormon-go check it out. <br />Anyway, this is the best post yet. I wish I had time to read them all. Quick question, though, you mention knowing all these 40+ women getting married. Are you talking first time temple marriages? Because one very hard fact I've had to face in these latter days with each passing year and no marriage prospects is that a woman my age should not only be married but divorced and on her second or THIRD marriage (with kids) by now! 137 temples and yet no one can find even one typical LDS ward anywhere in the world with that many first time temple marriages. Ironic isn't it?Michellothegreathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062712879001961735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-20236311542369446492011-06-05T12:21:42.718-06:002011-06-05T12:21:42.718-06:00So glad you enjoyed yourself, Todeskaefer.

I don’t blog to convert the world, I blog to connect with those that believe what I believe. And I believe families are an eternal principle. I believe getting married and having children is one of the reasons we come to earth. They hold wonderful (and painful) experiences that benefit our growth in life and teach us to love. And there isn't anything wrong with desiring it.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879388132630156510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-44776586474484358132011-06-05T03:53:52.128-06:002011-06-05T03:53:52.128-06:00This blog post is both hilarious and tragic at the...This blog post is both hilarious and tragic at the same time. I just don't get why marriage is THAT important. What if you're perfectly content living like a hermit and can't be bothered with the burden of being in a relationship? Also, the world's population is fast approaching seven billion. Where's the harm if a few people decide not to have kids? There are more people alive today than there ever have been in all of recorded history. Are we going to be in grave danger of dying out of a few among us decide to go childless? Uhh, I don't think so.Todeskaeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135352427754410261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-91296105672457902412011-02-11T21:15:15.250-07:002011-02-11T21:15:15.250-07:00i love this post.

Don't set up your future "here on earth" husband for not living up to your preconceived ideas. Set him too high on a pedestal and even he will never reach it! :-] I will believe with you that you will marry in this life. Be satisfied and confident now with God as your Husband, and you won't scare off the earthly husband to come! :-] d'anned'annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822983449151340504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-63176492528405911612010-11-06T16:11:38.622-06:002010-11-06T16:11:38.622-06:00I agree with your attitude to be positive and work...I agree with your attitude to be positive and work towards marriage. For those who have decided that it is God's will that they don't marry in this life, that is just not true. It is God's will that we all marry in this life, have a celestial marriage, and inherit the Celestial marriage. But he knows not everyone follows his will and is humble enough to learn the lessons he sets before us. In addition the persons that could be right for us have to fulfill his will also for marriage to happen. So though it is His will that we marry, it doesn't always happen. But we just don't know so we should always work towards that goal. The fault comes when we think it should just happen in our time and way and that we don't need to work towards it.Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-50438546316330515022010-11-06T14:54:11.378-06:002010-11-06T14:54:11.378-06:00This post calls for exclamation marks!!!!!

I'm linking it either way. <br /><br />Women over 30,40,50 , SIXTY - whatever the age - still do get married ALL the time. Spinsters, however, stay single for life. But being a spinster doesn't have to do with age, it has to do with demeanor and attitude. <br /><br />I like to think that if you've been in relationships before even though they might have ended terribly, the great news is that you have the tools to be able to find your way into relationships again.Feihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289385334453931872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586889322001976439.post-77712738046040391542010-11-06T12:11:13.802-06:002010-11-06T12:11:13.802-06:00OH I SUPER love this post.
