I know someone who was an older bachur, working and learning, just trying and trying to find his bashert. He was engaged at one point, and then the girl broke it off. That was a huge blow to this bachur’s heart, but instead of becoming bitter, he spoke about it with his confidants (Rebbi, friends, etc.), picked himself up and kept trying. He tried so many different ideas that shadchanim suggested – divorcees, widows, BTs, giyores. But nothing went.
He went different Rabbonim, and received numerous brochos. Of course, at times, he was discouraged, and started doubting himself, and wondering if it would ever happen for him…He kept davening and trying.
Well, fear not, because this story has a happy ending. He finally found the one for him, but she was somewhat younger than he, and that is why he had to wait for his zivug hagun!
So for all of those who are still waiting, don’t give up and don’t give in to bitterness or depression. Just keep davening and may HKB”H send you your zivug hagun b’karov!
