How is loneliness while single different from loneliness in marriage?

we are talking about the same thing, one of us us born again, spirit filled and walking in viral relationship and one is still a carnal, or sense ruled Christian, if Christian at all.
He will grow us all as much as we desire and allow to be grown.
Many stay as outward form Christians, Jesus told us clearly that would be the case in these last days, they would hold to an outward form of godliness denying the power thereof, others would grow and go one to do greater works than He Himself.

Reread the original post. You're way out of line and off base in your responses.

You also just sound like you suggested I'm not a Christian. In fact, I am a Christian.

Now that you've revealed your hand and made a major error in your assessment of me I know that it is not the Spirit of God that lead you to that conclusion.

I disagree. No one is supposed to feel lonely. That is why we are encouraged to fellowship and lift one another up. That is why God gives us purpose to fill our lives. God never leaves or forsakes us...so we are never truly alone.
Loneliness ultimately boils down to a personal choice.

Same here, when we fellowship with the indwelling Christ we can never be alone.
He will NEVER leave us or forsake us.

I believe this type of thinking is why many Christians believe that Christians should not feel depressed or anxious (like loneliness), but we know that many Christians struggle and take antidepressants and anxiety meds. A person can feel lonely if she/he is seeking deep connection is but isn't getting it (either as a single or married, and even when a person has lost a spouse). Using an extreme example, when a spouse passes, the living spouse will feel lonely possibly for many years. I believe God will help us deal with the loneliness but the person can still feel lonely.

It isn't "a type of thinking", that is from an outward form of godliness. It is from right relationship, all the time, day and night, with the indwelling Christ who comes in to stay with us and communicates to us as we keep ourselves "stayed on Him" and keep "praying without ceasing", all these things are our marching orders for this life, this whole life.
Again, Jesus said this is what would happen, that people would hold to an outward form of godliness denying the power, the power comes from staying in complete communication with Him, just as He told the disciples in John 16 of the time when Holy Spirit would come, and that is where we are. Most hold to the outward form, others in obedience will go on to do greater works than He Himself in His name.

No one actually prays to God without ceasing or actually goes about thinking only about God every second of the day.

When anyone is at work dealing with customers or whatever task they have at hand, do they at that time pray without ceasing and do they have their total attention on God at that time?

When someone is asleep are they still praying?

If you are having a conversation with someone, are you at that time praying simutaneously to God also?

So clearly, while we should all endeavour to have our actions be inline with the word of God, and by this we are being mindful of Him, i dont think there is anyone at all who prays non stop without ever ceasing so how can that be the cure for loneliness?

The feeling of loneliness or being sad or hurt will come and go at different times in our lives. That is a fact. And it is also a fact that as a Christian you can learn how to manage those emotions by the help of God. So you dont need to be depressed or feel hopeless all the time.

We all know that not all singles and not married couples are lonely. However, people in both groups admit to being lonely. How is being lonely while single different from being lonely while married? Are they different or equally terrible? While everyone's views are welcome, I believe only people who have been both single (living alone) for an extended time and have been in long-term relationships/marriages can offer wise words on this topic.

The dread red X is a sure sign of being on the right track, when the giver of it is theologically off in left field.

I got a red X once. Well, actually I have received a lot of 'em. Kind of amusing.

I have 24 of them and 9 thumbs down. Mostly from people so far off from actual real biblical understanding, that they are actually an approval.

When you're single I think there's a certain expectation of being "lonely". That loneliness is part of what drives us to find a mate. It's a good thing in a way.

In marriage I would think that loneliness would be just awful. I think it would be way, way worse. I can't imagine and nor can I relate to that.

Here's a story:
I went out surfing the other day. No one else was out. It was cold and overcast. Completely by myself. Lot's of times it's a little bit spooky being out there by yourself. I see sharks all the time. But I wasn't lonely then. You know why? Because my wife was sitting on the bench watching me surf. (She might have been reading a book. But I like to think that maybe she was watching me a little bit too. hahaha) It was so nice! Even though she wasn't right with me, we were still together. And that made my surf session so much more fun. That's the type of thing an awesome wife does. I am so blessed. Thank you, God!

As with everything, context is vital to proper reading comprehension. You're right that we should not feel lonely in a general sense, but we're talking about relationship status.

In relationships you're either married or you're not. Married couples are not supposed to feel lonely. Single people do not have a significant other meaning they do not have someone to keep them company. So therefore they should feel alone. I'll double-down and triple-down on this because I'm right.

You should take time to think your responses through before slapping a red x on something. You probably just feel embarrassed now.
