Lonely

[Abd al-Majid]

Salam. I am a revert and 22 years old. I do not have a very high income and I am not near finishing school. I am hoping to study to be an accountant but have at least 5 more years of school since I have to work full time and barely started. 

I am growing very impatient waiting to find a wife and often wish I can have a girlfriend because a wife seems like an unreasonable goal. I've been waiting for five years of being Muslim and am still nowhere near capable of getting one. I don't make enough to provide for one and likely won't for 6 or 7+ years. 

I do not like being unmarried because I want to cuddle with a lady. I know this sounds childish but I always wanted to cuddle since I was 11 and still haven't done this. It makes me very lonely so I hope to get a wife. How can I find a wife? I live in a large town so it only has one Sunni mosque. No Shia masjid but there is a college here, so inshallah the community will be better than my old city.

Salam,

Good thing for you is you are still young. I pray to God that you find one. 

Unfortunately you are not the only one. There are many guys across the world are struggling to find wives. I am in mid 30's. I still can't find one. In community and family no one is making recommendations. Internet/app dating tried, no luck.
