I have prayed to God for three years for a boyfriend. I am still single. Yet my sister is still legally married and has a boyfriend. She is also still married in the eyes of God.

Even my much younger brother has a girlfriend. I am the only one single. Both of my parents say I am low maintenance and my sister is high maintenance. I know men prefer a low maintenance woman.

Please help me to not let this bother me. Today is the third day I have been depressed over this. My sister has always had it easier than me on everything.
That is a recipe for drama, but if your sister is high maintanence she may thrive on drama. I think it's better to wait for the right person to come along than get involved with the first person who comes along. I'd say with her 4th marriage ending, it's clear she does not choose the best partners. Even though she has a boyfriend, that does not mean that the relationship is healthy or good or will last. Are you putting yourself out there to meet potential dating partners? If not, maybe take that step to meet some new people.
