I am enjoying this moment in time. Soon, it will be gone and there will be a new moment to enjoy. God would not have given us five senses if He didn't want us to find joy in all of His creation as we have the opportunity. Part of His creation is people, and wether I am single or married, I will cherish relationships as are appropriate for the time.
When I was still quite young, a fear came over me that I would have to start begging women to marry me, until I found one that would. Then one day I realized I didn't HAVE to get married, and it was like having the weight of the world taken off my shoulders. Since then I've gotten so that I don't want to marry. I love my life as it is.
I am enjoying being single right now, though I am not opposed to finding someone in time. I love having my freedom, not being "needed" so much at home. My time is more flexible. My finances are mine alone. I get to make my own decisions. I can paint my living room whatever color I want. I enjoy being alone, so that isn't an issue. I'm sure when my teens are grown and gone, I will feel the need to share lives with someone. I'm not there yet though.
Sometimes I feel guilty for enjoying my independence so much. But I prayed for contentment and God gave it to me, so I guess I shouldn't second-guess it too much.

Yes and no. I've always felt the desire to want to share my life with someone, and so in that case, I hate being single. On the other hand, I know I'm no where near ready to get involved in a serious relationship (and I find flings pointless), I like being able to watch whatever movies I want, and eat whatever I want (though admittedly Wendy's baconater's are catching up with me and that hurts my heart ). I'm my own boss now and no woman can hold me down! At least not yet...

Isnt this the same Chili that someone found a half chopped finger in??? Look it up if you dont believe me
I enjoy being single. If i find a wife she will have to learn to listen to me or were going to have problems I am not one to be controlled. Dont get me wrong, I listen and I am very conscientious of both parties, but I got that military no BS attitude as well. Besides, my mom wore the pants in the family and I cant stand seeing my dad just nod in agreement with everything she says. Especially because in his previous marriage he was the man of the house. Anyway, I may end up being single for quite awhile but thats ok

Being single can certainly be a gift, It certainly frees you to do things for the kingdom that married people just can't do. However, When its not your gift it can be a real struggle, I don't think it's mine but we also need to learn to be joyful with Christ alone no matter the situation.. and to be honest this can be a struggle in daily life for anyone.
I think I mentioned in another post that it has taken me a few years to learn this lesson, very hard lessons at times indeed.
So back to the question, do I enjoy being single? well, to answer honestly.. I have learned to be at peace and find joy in Christ on my own.. but it is still a struggle and one... well who knows. I don't know if that's an answer but that's where I am at.
update: forgot to add that I have been married before.

I do enjoy being single I think, although I also do not think about relationships and marriage much. I have not been around many people who have been in healthy relationships, so I have had negative ideas that probably aren't good for me. Those times where I have been around people who have been in beautiful relationships, it did give me a deep desire for something more. For the most part though, I am pretty content being single, but whatever God's plan is for my life, whether staying single, or something more, I hope to be content with it.
I've never known anything besides singleness but I'd say I enjoy it. I have my moments where I just have that longing of wanting someone to share my life with, that pit at the bottom of my stomach of loneliness. I deeply desire to be married someday (for both selfish and unselfish reasons), but for the most part, I'm fine where I'm at.
This past year has taught me, if anything, that He knows best and I MUST focus on Him and put my full trust into Him and Him alone. My desire for Him must be above all else, even my desire for a relationship.
