Maybe each time she fell for a guy and got her heart broken it was just another testimony of the awesome superiority of God to any earthly man. Maybe the perfect man she kept hoping for in the future wasn't really coming. Maybe he didn't exist. Maybe God was it. And maybe, that's all you ever really need.
Of course she could still find a guy that was just right for her and get married someday. But he wasn't going to be perfect.
She had to completely fill that void with God. Nothing else. Nothing else would ever satisfy.
A husband would be simply the icing on the cake. And you couldn't have that till you made the cake: till she fully delved into her relationship with God as the only thing that could sustain her. Until she learned how to put God first no matter what and rely on Him solely. Till she actually came to terms with the fact that God is better than any human. Better than any feelings of infatuation a human can cause, better than being in love, better than sex.
Till she had no other gods before Him. Then He would bless her with what she longed for. As long as she longed for Him more.
He is a jealous God.
This is a bit what I've been thinking, what I've been trying to say lately.
