France is predominantly Christian, and it is considered a Christian nation. Christianity in France originated from Jerusalem in the first century BC during the persecution of Christians. During that period, Catholicism had taken root in France as the dominant religion. Christianity today account for between 63-66% of the total population with the Roman Catholic accounting for 83% of all Christians while 14% are Protestants and the rest are Jews, Lutherans, and Reformed Catholics. However, with the high number of Catholics and Protestants in France, only 5% of them either go to church or attend mass thus many consider France a secular nation. While Roman Catholics are spread across France, Protestants are confined mostly in the North Franche-Comte, Alsace and Cevennes hill

@Chrétien
Different people have there own testimonies on what God has done in there lives, but it is really, I believe, a rare thing for a person to go forward toward God alone like Apostle Paul. I mention him as an exception. I am certainly not one of those exceptions. My wife is and has been my helpmeet these 49 years together and 45 of them on the Lord's side. God works like that in couples very often. Separate neither one may do much 'good', but together, Oh what a glorious wonderful God we are able to see and to lean upon...
Give God the glory!
@Chrétien You keep on seeking God and always also stay on the look out as He may have that girl, that woman of God, there for you and for her at any moment. Don't be discouraged because it seems like God is going to slow for you. Time is in His hands. Do not doubt Him!
I do agree sister. I knew God a little before I got married, but it was not until after we met and married that He really drew me to Him. Without her I probably would never have made it for I was just about dead in the water. Now my wife and I walk on the water!

No one said you should not seek out a virgin wife, but when you find yourself still unmarried, many years from now, you might consider dropping the bar a bit. It was you after all who said you heard there were no virgins these days, and though there may be, they are far and few in beetween. You are also the one who said seeking a virgin has been done for thousands of years, but those days are long past when it comes to availability.
The day may come when you will need to realize you will have to get real on this or remaim alone, but in the meantime, I truly wish you the best of luck.

The Bible has excellent verses to guide you:
- 1 Peter 3
- Colossians 3
- Ephesians 5
@Chrétien doesn't want what is ordinary but is instead specialized...that's not that hard to understand.
What I'm seeing is that a lot of people have been caught up in common sins and feel discriminated against. But sexual sins are just like a match that has been struck...it can't be struck again and catch fire.
He wants someone who has a longer term outlook on life at a young age and hasn't given up hope.
Look,
It's like trying to find a girl that has been to culinary school to become a chef but then has since left the food service industry for a completely different career in healthcare.
Again that's his tastes and desires.
It might be as difficult to find as a native fat girl in a land that has been in famine for the last decade....but that's what he wants. I don't fault him for it.
I have a penchant for the smart girls who are Christian...(like my wife) they aren't that common. Sure lots of them are one or the other but if you try to combine both traits together they are faking one of the two attributes. But I found mine. Took a bit...had a lot of false hopes raised...but the marriage works well.

I agree with your parents …
So obviously you don’t even have a job!!!
How on earth can you present yourself to a girl as a legitimate husband , protector , and provider if you don’t have a job and are secure?
What if babies came along ? 18 , with no money , no security , you have nothing to offer !!!

He is looking...he isn't ready to get married to a stranger yet. Just dating with an intent to marry...
Nobody wants to marry a complete stranger.

Well said................sad to say a lot of marriages end in divorce due to money issues.
Completely false. Most divorces occur due to infantilism. People don't want problems these days, just fun fun fun xxxxxxxxx and at the first trace of trouble, I'm done with this and you are the worst creature in the Earth. This is especially true for most of the wives, who only want an eternal Prince Charming fulfilling all of their endless caprices and treating them like queens of the universe, and at the first half flaw they cheat on them to make them jealous & fill a divorce the next morning. And minutes after some insults and the separation they have a wild xxxx evening with their new Chad they met at Fakebook while their former husbands are left in the trash bin, or alone in bed t****ing themselves while looking their wives' xxxx at the laptop. 90% of divorces here occur for this reason. The result of decades of widespread indoctrination with feminism, secularism, cultural marxism, sexual liberalism, moral relativism, Disney, Hollywood, contraceptives, dirty music & finally internet.
Most of the husbands are not innocent either, they are the same if not worse. They want their wives to be their moms and to treat them like eternal adolescents while going partying, drinking & sleeping with all the club girls every Saturday. This is why so few divorces are initiated by men nowadays, they want to live like single students while enjoying the benefits of marriage.

Dropping the bar? Seriously???
Sorry no. I don't want to marry a prostitute. I don't want to marry a girl who has lost her purity & done all kind of things with guess which boys. In fact, those girls are worse than prostitutes because they are free, you don't need money to sleep with them. And who tells you that those girls will abandon their lifestyle and be faithful once they get married (if they ever do of course)?
There may be few virgins these days but this doesn't mean I have to give up on pursuing one. I just have to pray and search, it will be hard but it's necessary for a long and good marriage and family. If I marry a non-virgin, she will most likely be with me only for a few years (if she doesn't cheat on me during this time) & end leaving me for guess which guy destroying the future of our children excusing herself in that "you don't pay me attention anymore", "you don't attract me anymore", "this guy made me feel so special", "this guy has got something you don't have", "you are so jealous and strict", "you are a reactionary puritan who wants to make me your slave" and etc. And what if she's not a virgin but has repented with her heart & promised sincerely that she will be faithful to her husband forever? You seem not to know that this kind of girls are even rarer to find, much rarer, than the virgins, and that there are many bad girls which will play the good girl and say that they will be faithful in order to scam & take advantage of the poor good guys once these have been completely deceived.

We are talking about women who may, in the past, have acted as such, but are now forgiven, and as prone to future mistakes as the rest of us.
It may be true that it is impossible you would make those or other mistakes, but God has forgiven them them, and given them a clean slate. Clearly you have no such forgiveness your heart, very possibly making you guilty of something far worse than they have done, as in putting yourself on a pedestal, implying you are much better than such people.
I'm afraid you may have missed the most important points of Christianity....sad

I read it all.
Now that we know your feelings towards others, what do you have to offer this virgin if you find her? I mean why should she choose you over the competition? What kind of security do you have to offer her?
Virgin girls are often shy and reserved and thus tend not to have many contacts, so I will have little to no competition. The biggest challenge will be gaining the trust of her parents.
That said, a girl with plenty of boys behind her will definitely not be a virgin.

Then you have nothing to offer her? Whether or not she is, remains to be seen, but do you think she should be fine with someone who has no security to offer her?
A husband who is not perfect but will lead her closer to God and give her a beautiful Christian family
