I'm 63, divorced 11 yrs now after 25 yrs of marriage, have struggled with faith for most of the 11 yrs., Financially barely keeping my head above water on a tiny disability check (but very little debt, soon to be none), My 2 adult children dont stay in contact (1, one does on rare occasions ), lonely, but deathly afraid to date for fear of just settling or fear of betrayal again. I had lost all hope and faith that God or anyone else loves me. I started reading my scriptures again this week with pure humility, and a dear friend sent me a beautiful talk to watch. Just below that talk... was this one. Im so grateful i didnt scroll by. Sister Lund, your story has picked me up and God willing, i will STAY focused on building more faith, hope, charity, patience, and positivity. God bless you dear sister. My heart is full today. Thank you

Twelve years in singles wards and no spouse. Some of us just linger longer. Married in the temple at 40 and had a son a la natural at age 42. Although confusing to the proposed norm, the Lord spread a table feast before me and I indulged on college learning, music and career adventures. Let go - let God.

After 45 1/2 wonderful years, my Eternal Companion returned "Home" last December. I was willing to just sit back and be a Widower, but then I received the revelation that I am still to provide the Priesthood in a home AND the Eternal Promises of the Temple to another precious Daughter of Heavenly Parents. So, I'm waiting on His timeline and am now, willing to serve, and be blessed by doing so. I know my Sue approves.

A very beautiful and inspiring story of faith. I am on my early 40’s, just broke up with my boyfriend, he is a wonderful person and a priesthood holder. I was so optimistic that I might marry this guy, and that we will have wonderful life together, but it didn’t happen. I am on the thought of probably marriage is not for me, then I came across with this video, it inspired me to keep holding on have faith and trust in the Lord’s perfect plan. Thank you for sharing.

For me it's been so much easier & happier to be single & 40 than it was being single & 30. I've learned to trust that God's promises are as good as done & His timing is absolutely perfect. I remember in my late 20's feeling hurt when my bishop had me read Oaks' talk "Timing", but now I love the principle with all my heart. I also remember that transition time of being kicked out of the singles ward at 31. It hurt so bad when leaders would try to comfort me by saying that if I don't get married in this life I can get married in the next life. I didn't like that they were skipping over the next 65 years of my life. But now I love that doctrine with all my heart & am ok if that is the Lord's will. I am promised marriage & children, & as I continue to rely on Christ, I've already obtained that promise. He has all power, wisdom, sight, & He does not lie.

Interviewing people whose main trial in life is being single is not only not helpful, but it makes people like me feel even more alone. Being single well into my 30s for me has been a result of trials much, much more difficult than being single. It must be nice to have siblings that have children and ward members that let you participate in their families. It’s also disconcerting again to realize that most leadership consists of people that haven’t really been through that much.

Now I excepted God in my life nobody wants to be around me! I am praying about this , but it's hard! I never had a supported mom dad sister's! I feel alone yet my daughter and two grandsons live with us , and a husband that wants to hold on to old ways that aren't healthy in God's eyes what do I do?

This is common among married people. I used to get on my husband for things that "he" needed to improve and would "hit him over the head" with it all the time. I felt that I was RIGHT because I was the one "doing right". One time when I was upset with my husband, the Holy Ghost taught me a lesson when he told me, "Don't you judge him!" I thought that I was justified because he wasn't setting as good an example as I thought that he should for our children. Was I "right?" Yes, but what I learned was that my husband is on his own life journey as am I. He/I will be accountable for the things that we negatively impact our children with (obviously not referring to ANY kinds of abuse that should be addressed RIGHT away), when we could have chosen better. I have found that if we love them where they are at and try to set a "silent" example by making the correct choices then they will likely eventually come along with us. Ammon led King Lamoni from his point of understanding and eventually as Ammon showed his love for the king the king was willing to learn more and eventually converted to the gospel. Love your husband; encourage him in his good desires and council together when he's not sure he agrees with you. Ask him what choice is best for "the team" and not for an individual. As mentioned by another, prayer is paramount! I would pray for my husband on specific things he needed to change; not ALL of them at once. I learned that we are a "help-meet" to each other not a punishing judge. I had to trust that the Lord would help my children to see the right way to make a choice by seeing a good example and a not-so-good choice. They could see (and we would discuss not "point fingers") consequences of choices right there in the home. Now as they grow they see what choices are good; but not that they will actually make them right then but at least they know they can repent and try again. BTW, many HS friends got married very young and I envy the emotional bond (young love) that they seem to have. I got married at 27 and many times knowing TOO much due to age makes it difficult to compromise to someone else and have that "young love" bond. Pray and then read scriptures and the Holy Ghost will bring them to life by putting ideas into your head that will give you answers to your problems; this I KNOW. Don't give up! If anything, your husband is teaching you to love difficult people which is what Jesus is willing to do with us; loving us even though ALL of us are difficult people. Best Wishes!
