你倒给我恋一个回来啊
你大哥何东可都登记领证了啊

it’s time to
倒 ＝ (6) 用于追问或催促 [indicating an urging or questioning]。
例如:你倒说说看

I‘d like to suggest: You’ve been free to love for so many years, it‘s time to bring home someone you really love.
This is a more ’urging‘ version which may flow better with the ’so many years‘.
Hope you’ll find this helpful.
