I'm happy being single. I can spend more time in ministry as 1st Corinthians says it's actually better to stay single just for that reason, and you will have less trouble in life. Not everyone can stay single though, most people end up getting married and there is nothing wrong with that either.

Sometimes I look at families and how their kids behave and how the parent's handle that situations (most of the time very poorly) and I say to myself 'I'm glad I don't have to deal with that!'

If I do get married, it won't be until I'm in my fifties. I am really enjoying the single life these days.

I can't say that I try very hard.. I go about my business and I don't attract attention nor do I want to. I am comfortable around men and can be outgoing if I like someone but I'm picky and nobody has tried hard to catch me either.

being single is a choice...i'm single and still waiting for God's chosen best for me. For the meantime, I'm enjoying this state of singleness

Why am I still single? I just journaled about that myself earlier. I think part of my problem is I'm scared to get hurt again after hubby #1. But I read a quote that said, Don't let the heart that didn't love you, keep you from the one that will.

As a single person; I don't fall under my nation's punishing anti-male body of matrimonial law which permits my government to deprive me of my liberty, assets, and income with the very real threat of incarceration in the nation's penal system and the acquisition of a criminal record that will follow me for the rest of my life negatively affecting my ability to earn and advance in organizations if I become sick or lose my job and cannot immediately find a new one to continue the forced court-ordered payments.

I enjoy my liberty and having control of the resources I earn through my labor. I enjoy not having the government running my personal life. I enjoy not having the severe liabilities associated with the present body of matrimonial law hanging over my head 24 hours a day seven days a week.

There are many legitimate and godly ways to experience warm fuzzy feelings, be a blessing to others, etc... in this life without signing a long-term contract of indentured servitude that impoverishes and comes with the threat of incarceration and a criminal record.

That's why I'm single and intend to remain so.

I am single because I can't find any honest Christian men who don't have a problem with lust.

1 Cor 7:1Now for the matters you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."That's why :D And I never felt better

1 Cor 7:32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. (BOTH BODY AND SPIRIT) But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord....Hope that helps God bless

Idk. I'm feeling like crap. Guy I met online was super easy to talk with and I thought we were an excellent team. He just chose a 17 yr old over me. I'm done.

I just decided to remain single for this period of time. I don't have a desire to be in a relationship as of right now. Not that I am bitter or angry with the opposite sex, but because I graduated college a year ago, working fulltime at a ministry, and am getting my life together right now.

I know eventually that day will come, but right now, I'm perfectly content in my singleness. And even if that day never does come, marriage isn't a higher state than being single. Each one is a gift, and I tend to make each gift that God gives to me a wonderful experience.

"I feel very strongly that marriage is not a higher calling than the single state. Happy indeed are those people, married or single, who have discovered that happiness is not found in marriage but in a right relationship with God." -Cary Chapman

I wouldn't say it's always a choice. There are people out there who desire to be in a relationship but just can't seem to get in one.

I just have little interest at the moment to be in a relationship. I'm quite content with single life.
