Do you not believe that a man should cling to his wife? I don't know the scripture off hand, but It's in there.

Seems like what you want is a "sugar daddy." If you could find a guy who would help you, then more power to you, but I would never misrepresent myself and lure him in for something like that, if I were you. The right man could change your life, make you happier than ever before and could be such an asset to you and the children. If I were to be married again, I'd want the full benefit from it, and if it were Yahweh's will for us to be together, I have faith the joy would be abundant.

However, if you can live without a man and you are fulfilled, more power to you.

I am in your situation Tedack. If you are living righteously, then you and the children will be blessed. If that eventually includes a man, it will happen.

YHWH's will be done,

There are many situation in the scriptres where the husand and wife didn't live under the same "roof", but they did live very close to one another.There are a few of them.
In Genesis 24:67 we see that Issac took Rebekah into Sarah's tent to become his wife. If it was a tent that her and Abramham shared then it would not be refered to as Sarah's tent.
Another example is in Genesis 31:33 we see that Laban is searching for his household god after Jacob and his family left Padan Aram. Is tells us that Jacob, his wives and their handmaidens all had their own tents.
Since now a days we don't live in tent I think living in seprate dwelling is okay but I do think it is very important to live close together. I can understand not wanting to have a new relationship brought before children, but once you know that it is going toward marriage your children need to know and you need to know that if at some time in the relationship you need to dwell under one roof that all will go well.

May Yahweh Give You Peace And Joy

Hello, i am new here and would like to share my thoughts. the two questions i have are--do you want a husband and why do you want one?
the right man could be such a blessing for you and those in your household. i believe YHWH can provide what you need. and, sure, it will be work; being married and raising children always is.
those children who have not had a man around "anyway" have already had something taken from them. Please understand that i am not trying to be judgemental. if you find a good man, he might be just what those troubled children need. but! i also do believe that if you choose to live without a man, YHWH can make a way there also. He's good at doing that!
take care,
me
