How do you know if Gods will for you is to be single or in a relationship/married?

As a Christian does God have a particular person out there for everyone and how do you know if his purpose for you is to be single or in a relationship and if it is his will for me to be single, how do I know if it’s only temporary or for the rest of my life and how do I find out what his purpose for me is as a single woman. And if it is his will for me to be in a relationship with to marry and start a family with someday. How do I know if I have found the right person? I want and need someone I can have an emotional and spiritual connection with. For me it’s not just about sex but to also have a real connection with that person. I’m looking for someone I can spend the rest of my life and grow old with. I’m looking for real true love that lasts forever, not just a fling or temporary love.

    1 Corinthians 7:1-9

    1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

    2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

    3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

    4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

    5 Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

    6 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.

    7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

    8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

    9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

    When God put the man on the planet, he added the woman shortly after to enable the human race to reproduce. That is the sole reason we have two sexes. It is His intention for you to find a wife.

    God doesn’t always have someone for everyone. There are some people called to be single. But remember, if He calls you to be single, He will make sure that you are content in it. Dating and marriage is quite complicated and I struggle with the same issues. How do I know if someone is out there for me? How do I know if he’s the one? How do I find someone who is looking for more than a hookup? Then I realized something: How can I be in a relationship with someone where God is supposed to be the center, if I’m putting my worries over a relationship before God? I realized that I need to spiritually mature FIRST, build a relationship with God FIRST, and then God will place someone into my life. So, all you can do is pray about it. Ask God for clarity, understanding, peace with where you’re at now. Pray for your future husband and that God will cross your paths when you are both ready. And pray that God reveals to you if a man is “the one.” I know it’s easier said than done to not worry, and trust me we all do it, but if you let go and let God, He will move.

    Stop worrying about god and start worrying about yourself. Take what you want, don’t worry about some ridiculous deity you’ve never seen or never met. Trust me you’ll be much happier. I guarantee he does not care about you whatsoever
