I’ve talked with many people of faith (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu (and others) who rely on God to meet their needs. And for those who are single, I found that many of us have this in common – we hit a certain age and when we still haven’t found “the one” we begin to wonder, “What’s up, God?”

We become frustrated and may even experience the stages of grief. As a Christian, the number of times I wanted to smack people who said to me “trust God” is too numerous to count. I also begin to wonder why God isn’t doing more to help me in my search (not that I’ve read a summary of all that He’s done. I’m sure that would be too numerous to count). But the frustration is sometimes there.

No one articulates it better or is funnier than my friend Susan Isaccs in her new book Angry Conversations with God. It’s her memoir of her rocky relationship with God. Single, jobless and hitting a spiritual rock bottom, she takes her heavenly husband, God, to couples counseling. She wants answers and we as the reader get to hide behind her as she confronts God on a number of things – including her singleness.

Through her journey, she realizes she made God into her image – as well as the image that her well-meaning Christian teachers and friends made him out to be. And through counseling, Susan finally begins to really listening to who he says he is (good relationship rule number 1). Question: How much does our personal faith play a role in why we are or aren't married?

Susan has always been one of my favorite writers, and this book affirms that. I encourage you to grab a copy no matter what phase your relationship with God is in.

When both Susan and I lived in NYC (during her slide to rock bottom), we had many conversations about career, love and Christian men. Now that Susan is happily married, I couldn’t wait to hear her new-found thoughts on the topic. We recently had a Skype chat where we talked about everything from sad sex, to neutered men, to riding trains. I couldn’t present it all, but here’s a clip from that conversation.

How much does our personal faith play a role in why we are or aren't married?
