Do you enjoy your singleness?

So my lament is, where the heck are the real bible reading, Holy Spirit filled women who are not aspirational. Were they caught up in the rapture and no one told us??

I sew! and love every minute of it, and shout it from the rooftops as well

My dad can sew, I thought that was so cool growing up, actually I learned from him to hand sew . My grandma was a seamstress, very good at that. She taught him and would help her. I don't consider him feminine at all.

Of course not... there are tailors... and I'm sure back in the day, a gentleman would not have felt comfortable with a lady/seamstress fitting him for a suit lol

This thread was originally about whether we enjoy life as single people.

I'm enjoying my life as a single guy.

I am guessing if I were married I would enjoy life as a married guy.

What I do not enjoy is arguments about whether I or anybody else should be single or married. Unfortunately those happen MUCH too often, in the forum and in real life.

There are those on here who have tried to make me feel bad, wrong or somehow lacking because I desire to be married... but in Scripture there is a clearly room for both life-styles. It reminds me of the scripture about not judging if someone wants to be vegetarian or not🙂

And in answer to the question... I hate singleness... I have all this love and affection to give... and I desire in my heart to receive the same... and sometimes it breaks my heart... and there is nothing about that. It does make all the difference of course that I trust my Father that He works all together for my good, and that I have Him, the Comforter and His love and peace.... but I think that my circumstances limit how much I can enjoy singleness because I am a stay at home Mum so I don't have the freedom to go off travelling like some single people may, and I get sick regularly so am house-bound a lot. The Bible does say that 2 are better than one, and it would be nice and a lighter load of life was shared( not in a selfish way but in a complementing way). I also would value greatly a Christian man around my kids. But the Lord knows what is best and His grace is enough even though at times there is great pain in my heart about it.

My heart goes out to you and all single Mothers, trying to fill both roles in this modern age... i wish that I lived close to you, because you would never feel alone. Im not speaking from a physical or relationship perspective either... YOU are absolutely right to feel like you do, because people as 'The Church' Dont live as GOD intended. In biblical times, People lived in societies that cared for one another- ate together, carried each others burdens, etc. (and in undeveloped countries they largely still do), so a person was never truly alone. GOD continuously speaks on caring for widows and orphans, its pretty clear as to why.
I was on a mission in the Caribbean and during my travels I was Blessed to stay a few Days with a Family in a Mennonite Community, GOD blessed me to see his perfect plan in action, these People Love each other, share each others burdens, Build with each, raise each others Children, Edify each other and so on.
Its Sad that people can memorize scripture, but struggle so hard to apply it.
Love you, sister. Know that you are definitely not alone, in these End times 😊❤. You and your children are in my prayers.

Hmm, yes... although that verse has been overused a bit of late.

But yeah, I'm wlling to talk about whether I like or hate being single, and whether I do or don't want to be married. I have no interest in debating anybody who thinks I should or should not be married.

Besides... if they ever met me their "Everybody should try to find a spouse" might change to a "No! Never! YOU should stay single all your life!" real fast.

you shouldn't have to worry about falling back into sin if you date the right people with the right intentions. For example, if you dated me, I would treat you like a sister in Christ and if it were to deepen past that there would be marriage. No sin would be a part of it, ever. Just an example.

I guess we need a rebuke button then

You're absolutely correct. A real partner in Christ would not tempt you to sin. However, sad as it may sound, there are many Wolves in Sheep Clothing out there posing as Christians (dating sites are notorious for this). I want to find someone that God Himself leads me to in order for us to grow together in faith.
