Quite frankly, I don't think there are enough married people who post of the singles forum. I recently reviewed the rules for this site and I misread one of the rules:
"10. Please do not hang out where you do not belong.
Please do not use the Teens chat room unless you are between 13 and 19 years old. And please do not use the Singles chat room unless you are single and 18 or older. (The other chat rooms are for general fellowship and are open to all.)"
It just says "chat room" I doesn't say "chat room and forum." I mean, it's an unfortunate fact that there are too many chat rooms on the internet that are meant for teens or singles but have users that don't belong there. If someone is lying about their age or marital status on-line, they're up to no good, and obviously we don't want that on this site.
But that being said, I initially misread the rule thinking it was refering to the chat rooms and forums and not just chat rooms. This got me thinking about adults on the teen forum and married people on the singles forum, both of which think should be encouraged.
I wrestle with so many questions on singleness and marriage. I've read books on Christian singleness* and opinions on things like whether or not it's ok to take an active role in looking for the right person to marry, just vary so greatly. When we discuss these on the forum, sometimes I feel like it's the blind leading the blind, and I really wish there were more married people who would put in their two cents.
*and there's more I want to read. I just wish there was more at the public library.
