Why Can’t I Find a Spouse? The Ugly Truth Society Isn’t Telling You

Introduction: The Growing Frustration in the Marriage Search

Let’s be real - a lot of people are tired. Tired of the DMs. Tired of the awkward conversations. Tired of the letdowns. They’re frustrated because they want to get married, but no matter how many profiles they scroll through or conversations they have, nothing ever seems to move forward.

The truth? One of the biggest reasons behind this frustration is deeper than people think. It’s not just about the apps or the lack of good options. It’s about mindset.

We’ve Been Trained to Think Selfishly

Modern society has trained us to focus almost exclusively on me - my goals, my peace, my needs, my standards. We approach marriage like we’re shopping for a product that’s supposed to add value to our lives. We think we deserve the "perfect match" without ever stopping to ask:

• Who am I really looking for?
• What kind of person would actually be a good fit for me?
• Would that person even be interested in someone like me?

The hard reality is that many people haven’t taken the time to figure out what they want in a spouse, much less what that kind of person might want in return.

Marriage Isn't About Just Getting - It's About Giving Too

Everyone wants a spouse who is attractive, kind, financially stable, religious, emotionally intelligent, good with family... the list goes on. But when you flip the mirror and ask, "Am I those things? Am I working to become the kind of person they would be looking for?" - the room gets quiet.

This is where most people get stuck.

Because unless you want just anybody to marry - and most of us don’t - then you have to:

Clarify exactly what you're looking for in a spouse.

Understand what that kind of person is likely looking for.

Start working to become someone that type of person would naturally be drawn to.

This isn’t about changing who you are for someone else. It’s about becoming your best self - for the sake of your future, your deen, your family, and your legacy.

It's Time to Flip the Script

We can’t keep walking into this process thinking only about what we want to receive. That approach is keeping too many of us single, disconnected, and confused.

Instead, we need to start asking real questions:

• Am I emotionally stable enough to be a source of comfort to someone else?
• Do I have the qualities that I’m demanding in someone else?
• Have I worked on my own healing, habits, and goals?

Conclusion: Real Change Starts With Real Honesty

The frustration isn’t going away until we take full ownership of our role in this process. It’s not just about making du’a for the right person to come along - it’s about preparing ourselves to be ready when they do.

It starts with honesty. Then intention. Then consistent effort.
