If I do recall lucifer thought he was all that compared to his fellow angels.  Anyone without patience and humility should not marry.  Blessed be God for he is good.
all what?
for crying out loud

Let's look at the bright side. How many people here on CathInfo have found good spouses and are raising good Catholic Children? A lot, probably. 

If you think your vocation is marriage, then the two most efficacious things you can do, imo, are to hope and to pray. Sure, do the practical things that would give you the best likelihood of finding a good spouse, but resign yourself to God's will and trust Him to find you a good spouse or to remain single. 

While virginity seems to be less common these days, there are still many who hold out for their spouses. When I got married I was 29, and my husband was 34. Both still virgins, and not because we never had opportunities or were horribly unattractive, but because we had some sense. Neither of us were raised Catholic, either. Both of us lived in a small town with absolutely no prospects within many miles. And here we are. I always figured that if God could create the world in 6 days, doubting that he could find me a suitable spouse was just silly. Doubting that it's possible to raise good Catholic children is just silly as well. We can. God tells us to, so there must be way. 

There are still men and women of good will out there. Don't lose heart!

As Jen points out, grace is always there, we just have to cooperate.  Marriage is a vocation, just like anything else.  The family is under attack, so we need stronger families.  The problem is not marriage, but sin.  It's a janenistic idea to think that marriage is not pleasing to God or that one can't be holy in it.  He's the one who created it.

ha ha... shows what u know
I was attracted to this one person years ago who was very involved with the Church, had been for YEARS. That person was a psychopath, literally
When you say "Church" what you mean is the Novus Ordo.  Matthew means that you should meet a Catholic woman in a Catholic Church, particularly one of the SSPX chapels or a Resistance Chapel.  I would add a Sedevacantist Chapel to that mix. 
Once you start attending the Traditional Catholic Mass you will understand what we are telling you.
