Would you be open to finding a spouses outside of the Church?
Where I live, there are not many options within the Church (to be honest, there have been no options at all for a long time). I'm considering being open to finding someone outside of the Church and seeing how it goes. I know that the Church says that finding an Orthodox spouse is preferable. I could just wait and see what happens, but in my experience, this wait can take years, and after some time you will see your friends marrying and having children while you are alone waiting for the right person.
