I broke up with my ex because he is an unbeliever. Should I go back or pray for someone who's better? ?

I dated my ex boyfriend for an year and I loved him very dearly and we had a lot in common too. God through my sister told me to break up with him because he is an unbeliever. It was painful but I did and we've gone one month without communication although we broke up 4 months ago. During this time I've prayed and gotten closer to God but I felt like I want a partner as well. I've been unsuccessful in my search for a Christian boyfriend as they have been inconsistent, they don't pursue me like they want me, they more often than not seem busy and uninterested,others are divorcees so it can't be God's will, others rejected me and I don't have much in common with others so they bore me. I compared them to my ex and thought that my ex is much better than they are. I realised  that I want him back but I want him to be a Christian so it can still be God's will. I want God to change him so he can be a better man too although he never mistreated me in our relationship. I've prayed for his salvation countless times. Should I pray for God to change my ex and restore our relationship or should I pray for someone better?

    Have you said several times to pray to God?

    How come you didn't wait for God's answers?

    What is your religion? 

    Did God use your sister to give you information? 

    Is your sister a prophetess? Does she see God's presence in her prayers?

    True Christians join together to get engaged, according to God's rules, and among other things, there are no divorced people, except for reasons of conversion, after having had experience with God.

    I believe that if you want to succeed with the boys you have to pray to God for a time, and every day, only in this way God can give you answers and, find the right man for you.

    You should follow the example set in Genesis 24, when Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac.  The servant prayed for a non-miraculous sign (i.e., a woman who was diligent in her work, but not too busy to offer a simple drink of water.  The Holy Spirit will lead you to His choice, and that man will be right.

    So you are taking relationship advice from your sister - so ask her what you should do since you obviously won't think for yourself.

    Maybe get her to find you a Christian boyfriend.

    Wanting God to change someone for you would fall into the category of selfish and prideful.

    YOU put religion before love so your relationship and any future relationship is almost certainly doomed!

    Let him go so he can find someone that can love and respect him and have the UNCONDITIONAL love required for marriage!

    Neither. Go your own way.

  • You should grow up and try to establish contact with the real world.

    You should definitely not inflict yourself on him again.

    Okay, don't take this wrong, but you're only responsible for your own salvation. What he does, really is between him and God. You can pray for him, but ultimately, it's not you who makes this decision, it can only be him.

    If you did compel him to do this, it wouldn't be worth a plug nickel.
