Like many young men my age (Single, Age 27), dating in the secular world comes with normalising sex and casual relationships.

I've come to realise I could be blocking my blessings when looking for a good wife. I started my celibate journey this year, prioritising my career and hoping to start a family in the near future. In order to do that, I would need to find a woman equally yoked as I, but I don't know how to come by this in this day and age.

I had an ex contact me this week, that ended because of irreconcilable differences about our future together (location-wise) and I don't know how to approach them with this topic of my celibacy, I can't date someone that would expect the old me and want the physical intimacy they once had and with someone that was an agnostic.

Anyone here had a similar journey? From casually dating, to abstaining from nofap, pmo and sex till marriage. What sort of challenges did you face and how have you handled it?
