Love yourself. It's okay to be alone - preferable actually after looking around a bit and hearing a short version of some peoples' experiences -- remember the partner has another version and they usually cannot seem to communicate it without a really expensive mediator sometimes. Beware anyone setting you up with someone (even at church) - sometimes they are just trying to unload their own problem. If you want to beleive someone can change, it's your faith that may be tested. I've kinda run out of faith in just about everything and everyone.
