I know this discussion is old, but I was wondering what all the threads here have to say about singleness, and this is good question. This desire is totally normal. There's nothing wring with desiring a spouse. God designed marriage at the beginning. Marriage happened in the Garden of Eden...

When Paul talks about the "gift of singleness," he seems to be referring to the calling of lifelong celibacy. Not a temporary state of unwanted singleness. The Bible doesn't really say anything temporary singleness. It talks about marriage, and it talks about lifelong celibacy. Also, when Paul...

Maybe I will. Definitely a better idea than complaining about it. :LOL:

Yeah, for sure. I just aged out of my young adults group this past January (the official range is 18-30) and I do miss it, for sure. I do have a have a home group that I attend as well through the same church, but it's mostly older married folks. And the subject of singleness/marriage almost...

It’s definitely easy to feel invisible at church as a single. Especially if you're a single person who would rather be married. There’s just so many ways that you can be “reminded.” Personally, I don’t like critiquing “The Church" with big sweeping blanket statements (after all, I only attend...

:ROFL:

Oh. They could be. Interesting choice of words.

So there's no one-size-fits-all-recipe. And yet dating apps are the one method that we absolutely shouldn't use. Alright, then. :LOL: What does it matter? You can't "date" someone over an app. And app is just a tool to find a person who seems interesting. Then, if you start up a conversation...

And how do you propose one meet a "wife" in the modern age, exactly?

If you personally find having a romantic partner "embarrassing" (whatever that means)......then guess what? You can choose to stay single. Fine with us. No one here has tried to pressure you or convince you to date or marry, as far as I know. And if it bothers you so much to see other Christians...

I will, I actually enjoy discussing the topic and, as a single adult who would much rather be married, I have developed a lot of empathy for people in the same boat. I actually hope to write a book on Christian singleness at some point. I continue to read a lot of books on that topic and, well...

I never imagined that an Internet chat discussion about Christian dating/singleness would have the capacity to suddenly make me hungry. 😂

Oh, wow. Did it include a forest of sharp wooden stakes?

Hahaha! Yeah, I've never been to Neuschwanstein, but the one I was at looked very similar. Even had a dungeon and a literal torture chamber.

For my part, I don't know where you got your mind-reading abilities. :ROFL:

A castle? That sounds cool! I was visiting a castle in Germany one time and part of it was taken over by a film crew that was shooting a horror movie. 😂

Yes, that's true. You've explained your strong opinion to me a a million times. :ROFL:

This is the part where I would explain that some people have the general desire to be married in the future, but this simple fact seems to be beyond your comprehension.

Like I said. Believe whatever you want. 🤣

Then choose singleness for yourself, Lovette. Fine with us.
