Reply To: Shidduchim for those with a past

I remember reading in the safer shar-ray teshuva concerning the many challenges given to the bal teshuva as punishments for sins committed in the past.
In other words in order to be free of punishment in the post life
the bal teshuva must pay something in this world for his past bad behavior.
This then maybe the reason for your difficulties in finding a shidduch.
But don’t fret.
When the all mighty will send you a kallah no one on earth will interfere.
I remember reading in the talmud.
Someone asking what does hakadosh borach hu do all day ?
The answer was arrange shidduchim.
