52 Weeks to Find My Husband
Neenah Pickett, a 42-year-old single woman, recently launched her Web site, 52weeks2findhim.com. As part of her New Year’s resolution, Pickett vowed to meet her husband in 52 weeks.
“I always come up with crazy, wacky and fun ideas anyway because I work as a media consultant, so that’s what I get paid to do. During a dry time of guys asking me out, I came up with the idea.”

Am I the only one who thinks this is an odd thing to shout from the roof tops? I will never understand this mad pursuit for marriage as though somehow it completes one. Surely there are other great things one can aspire to in life.

Well I think its a brave and wonderful idea! I myself am 30 years old and have always wanted to be married and have children. I recently decided to try online dating as well. I do believe that God will send me the right man, however I don't think there's anything wrong with putting yourself in a position to meet new people. God also blesses you w/discernment so I pray for that quality. I've always heard that if what you've done in the past isn't working...try something different. So, hats off to you for taking a chance. Keep us updated!

GOOD LUCK NEENAH! i hope you find your man in your search. I found my future husband on-line and I am so happy with my relationship with him. Really got to know him through talking on yahoo messenger. DONT LISTEN to people who are negative about on-line dating! They are haters!!!

To each it's own ... just be careful there IS someone out there "just for YOU"! You are in my thoughts and prayers! I met that "dream man" 15 years ago (at the age of 36) -- we had it all -- a great marriage, lovely home, a beautiful daughter, but our time was "cut short" when he was robbed & fatally shot 7 years ago. I did not date much before the marriage, and don't now because I don't have time for the "games", my concentration has been on my young child and frankly, I've not met anyone to "live up to his standards"! I wish you "the best"!

I think this is awesome. More and more people are meeting and marrying each other online and I don't think it's any different to meeting someone in a bar or coffee shop. I have met a few men online. None have progressed to a relationship but most have become great friends. I wish Neenah all the best...she's inspired me to do something along these lines to find my next mate!

I'm a 39 year old woman married for almost a year now and I met my husband online. Everytime I tell people this they laugh. I had my daughter take some photos of me in my kitchen and I posted them on a couple of web sites. My headline was, "You want to meet a sexy, vivacous, exciting woman, well look no futher!" something to that effect. I didn't stop there I gave a shout out to several men at the same time and see who would "take the bait." A couple did but my husband was the only one who met my specific qualifications. We talked a few times online and then met each other at a sushi bar during the day time for a first date. Our marriage has been challenging (two old people set in their ways, and 3 step children on each side) but the love I feel for my husband grows deeper everyday, and even though people laughed and tried to make me doubt my choice I know my husband is a blessing from God.

I personally don't see anything wrong with her finding love this way. A lot of good men are shy and quiet and reluctant to make the first move out of fear of rejection. If she wants a husband she has to be proactive instead of sitting at home thinking that somebody will magically appear.

This gives me hope after a failed marriage of 5 years. I look forward to starting all over again but this time with great advise. Thanks....

I was 46 year old when I got married for the first time. I waited for Jesus and God to look down here on earth and prick the heart of the man they wanted to find me. Now three years married, we are still learning to respect each other's strength and weakness. Marriage is hard work and requires a mind set that will withstand storms, that when you where single, you'd just run away from. Being married you have to take a stand, no matter how good or not so good the marriage is. The Bible says that trouble will come and when you are married that trouble seems to last so long and feel so bad, but through it all you have to stand, pray and hear from God. Enjoy your singleness. God will give you the desires of your heart. You have to trust him. God knows best. Be at peace, have good heath and prosper!

I admire this lady's candor. Online dating is just as wonderful as meeting Mr. Man at the supemarket...it is as she said, you must be just as careful offline as you must online...the same men that you are meeting online are the same men that you can potentially meet at the bar, at the club, grocery store or work...there are no special men that suddenly appear online that you couldn't meet elsewhere. It's a fun and adventurous way to meet men. Bottom line BE CAREFUL...AND MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS about proceeding with dates....but did'nt Big Mama tell you the same thing about THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
