[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP —

I would second the suggestion to consider joining a church.   I did it a few years ago.  I grew up going to church, then went through a long period where I simply didn’t care about religion. As I got into my 40s, faced some challenges, problems in my marriage, watched some friends die … I started to think big picture again.   I randomly went to a non-denominational church one Sunday morning three years ago and I haven’t missed a Sunday since.   I have found an incredible community there — not at all geared towards women alone.  I belong to a weekly church group that is a cross section of people — some married, some not, some older, some younger, evenly split between men and women, and a wide range of ethnicities and races too.  We are a really close knit group — we celebrate successes, bear our burdens, etc.  It’s been a fantastic and complete unexpected change in my life.

Also — my wife is not a believer at all and doesn’t come to this with me.  And that’s just fine.  It is kind of “my activity” and while I would love for her to join me, it’s also given me a certain independence that was probably lacking before.  I don’t “need” her for this part of my life and that’s a good thing.

One final thought — if you do become serious about religion, it can take you on an incredible intellectual journey too.   I get more and more into it, I read books about it, I study the Bible in a serious way.  I’ve learned a bit of Greek and Hebrew.   It’s been a great intellectual enrichment in my life — way more than any hobby has provided.   [/quote]
