I think there are pros and cons with being single, just like Paul says. And I think we go through periods of being alone and single (for those who desire a partner) to gain further awareness of how much we appreciate the other person and what it feels like to be without that person. Kind of like how Adam saw all the animals first and probably realized how alone he was. Then God made Eve for him. :).

Wholeness vs. Singleness
You are whole. You are not single. Single says, I am just one. But if you think of yourself as the whole of who God created you to be, then you may feel better about who are, with or without a man. Of course, you are single-- but more importantly,
you are whole. You do not need a man to "complete" you. You are complete already.

Honestly, I struggle with this feeling every single day. Every single day.
But at the same time I rise up and say this words to myself: I am not afraid of dying being single if it happens. In the name of Jesus I am not.

Singleness for me is a non-stop adventure. It is never meant to be boring. It was meant to live it at the uttermost.

It is really a very sad thing to marry a woman who has no vision, no plan for God. Really.
You will feel alone because the woman you have married has no idea of what you try to say.
It is depressing to wake up in your bed and stare at a woman who just simply does not want to run the race with you.
It is sad when that woman you have married does not defy you with new challenges for God.
It is sad when you want to hear something new from your wife's mouth about God and his word and you find only silence.

I like being single.

I don't have to worry about anyone talking to me about things i don't wanna talk about.

I can do whatever i want to.

I don't have to ask anyone or tell anyone where i'm going and what i'm doing.

I can sit on the couch in my sweat pants and eat cookies all day.

I can let myself go without anyone saying, ''should you really eat that'' ''Don't you think exercising would be great!'' (no... no i don't!)

I can spend a ridiculous amount of money and not have someone nagging me about it.

However i don't like being single because i can't reach the stuff on top of my closet.

This is a serious problem.

I don't like how people ask me whether I am happy or not being single or encourage me to ask out every single girl they point out to me. I don't always want to be single, but I also don't want to date just to date; that's just not the type of person I am....if I'm going to go for it, then I'm going to go for it and not make a charade out of it. In my opinion, that does no justice to the life God has granted me.

Right now, I'm focused on my career...yes such a cliche, but when you work six or seven days a week, you find it's quite hard to socialize outside of your work community.

It doesn't help any that out of five recent marriages in my extended family, two have already ended in divorce.

I can go out every night and sleep all day.

I can do whatever I want.

I can see whomever I choose.

I can put my arms around every girl I see.

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant.

I can try to have fun no matter what I do.

;)

Hello all. I am new to CC and checking it out. One of my bests friends found a great a guy on here and suggested that I check it out, so here I am.
I am 28 years old. I am single. There are some days that are hard but then there are some days when being single is nice. I enjoy life and all that it has to offer, but someday I would like to get married and have a family. I know that God has someone special in mind. I am ready for that day when it all happens. I am ready to have my love story. I love serving the Lord; He is my number one man. With this though, I know that He doesn't call me to be alone the rest of my life. I pray for husband almost daily and I hope he prays for me as well.
What are you thoughts on being single?

i enjoy the benefits of being single when i am single.It's not possible when i get married.So i definitely am preparing myself to be more responsible to lead a married life.If i think after marriage,my wife will be comfort for me,i am dreaming.
With or without marriage,i rely on God.So both doesn't affect me.

Wow! All these are really good replies. Its really cool to see where everyone is at regarding singleness. You know I have to a place in my life, where I know that I wont be single forever. I just don't know when it is going to happen. But when it does, I am ready.
