Right now, you may need to focus on other areas of your life that would be sacrificed if you were married. Marriage is a completely different lifestyle. Also, the Lord may be preparing your husband. He may not be ready for you.
My husband and I have known each other since we were 16. We dated at that time, but broke up when we graduated. Well, when we got back together years later, it was obvious that the Lord meant for us to be together. We got married 6 months after we started dating again. However, if we had married before or even stayed together we wouldn't have grown to become the people that we are today and were when we got married.
So, just be patient. The Lord has a plan for you and your life.

Although I'm single again, I just have to second what you said. I was listening to my Pastor on Sunday and he was speaking on this same situation...being impatient for your blessing. He was saying how in this day and age, everyone wants something instant...instant oatmeal, microwave, email, fax, etc... No one can wait anymore, and that's the essence of receiving your blessing, being able to wait with Faith and trusting God.
He said that some of us think we are so ready for the one, and we aren't. How many of us think that we were ready for the good job we have now when we graduated from high school. Yeah, we might think that life would have been easier if we could just get things quick...but HE knows that we would ruin it if we got it before it was time because we weren't ready for it. The same thing with relationships, I have to think...maybe I'm not ready for "the one", 'cause I'll just run him off with all my other issues right now anyway.
I guess it's hard, but we just have to patiently wait and know that what God has for us is for US. Since I have stopped putting so much emphasis in trying to get something to work that's obviously damaged beyond repair...I've been so much more settled. I guess that's why I didn't react as hysterical when P-Diddy dropped his bomb...oh well, it wasn't meant to be...I tried.
