As a single guy, for several years I often wondered if God would ever bring the right girl across my path. I had asked a few girls out and had communicated with a couple more girls. But nothing ever came of it. God was always saying “No” or at least I thought He was saying, “No.” In all reality He was saying, “Wait, I have someone better for you.”
Just over a year ago I became aware of “Ladies in Waiting” and began to take an interest in the editress, Sarah Ann. As I prayed, God led. Over the past six months we've become the best and closest of friends. Over the past five months we've been getting to know each other better with the intention of marriage. God has done an amazing work in our lives together. We've had our trials and our good times, but in all of it God has continued to confirm in our hearts that we’re not just meant for each other, we were designed for each other. God, from the beginning of time, planned for Sarah and I to one day (hopefully sooner than later) get married. It wasn't luck. It wasn't fate. We were designed for each other.
So to answer my question from the beginning, “Are there guys out there who are looking for girls who have high standards?” The answer is yes. I have several friends who are godly guys who have high standards and one day they'll find the girl God has for them. It's just not the right time yet. It sometimes seems like they aren't looking, or they don't have the ambition to get married and raise a family. Trust me, every godly guy thinks about getting married and having kids. We just don't talk about it. You can call it a guy thing if you want, because it is. Every red blooded American, Canadian or otherwise Christian guy is keenly aware of the girls in the church. He doesn't think about it all the time, but he does think about it.
While you are waiting, first of all make sure that you make your relationship with God your number one priority because once that guy enters your life it won't be easy to do that. Secondly, prepare yourself for marriage, as a lady and as a homemaker. Lastly, make sure you pray for your future intended. You may not know who he is yet, but he still needs your prayers. Be faithful in these things and God will provide the man you want, the man you need, and the man who is better than all of your dreams!

I would be careful about making a promise that a woman will find her man if she truly desires one and is faithful to God. It's a nice thing to hope for, but God may have other plans. So many ladies desire to get married but never do, and they are faithfully serving God. They may hide their desires, but it doesn't mean they are not there. I have known ladies like this.
