It is like a shadow, it will show, it will follow you.

Stop focussing on finding the right person
Start focussing on being the right person.
Marriage is a character refiner
If you are single
Be sure on what is attracting you to the opposite sex

Companionship
"As believers, we are called to model our behaviour toward others on God’s forgiveness and grace toward us. We are to imitate God! (Compare Matt. 5:43-48.)"
"Instead, believers are to turn from the darkness of their past and “walk as children of light” (Eph. 5:8-10), mimicking the Father’s love. Again, Paul warns us away from “works of darkness” done “in secret” (Eph. 5:11, 12). By contrast, we are to live in the light of Christ (Eph. 5:13, 14). Rather than wasting our lives in drunkenness, we will be “redeeming the time” by offering thanks to God for His love (see Eph. 5:15-21)."
"Paul extends his theme of imitating God’s love as he advises Christian husbands and wives. Christ’s self-sacrificing love for the church becomes the model for Christian husbands (Eph. 5:25-33), while the loyalty of the church toward Christ becomes the model for Christian wives (Eph. 5:22-24). Rather than using the gift of human sexuality in a debauched and selfish way, a Christian husband and wife focus on valuing and treasuring each other, becoming “one flesh” (Eph. 5:28-33)."
