Adam was a perfect man, He walked with God literally. Yet God created him with a need - a desire. And then He met it perfectly via Eve. It is as natural to feel alone as it is to feel hungry.
To claim anyone is lacking as a believer somehow because they are lonely is vile.
Jesus, the man who had the FULLNESS of the Godhead, felt alone. He felt forsaken and He felt rejection. He wept over Jerusalem - His bride! How He longed to be with her - but she would not!
Loneliness can be a part of entering into the sufferings of Christ if we turn our thoughts to the true depth of His suffering for us. In marriage or singleness it still hurts and He can relate to that hurt.

Hi tararose hope you are ok.Gosh it 3.05Am..were both still up..😊😊😅
Unfortunately I sense that being able to accurately interpret real life experiences in a common sense kinda way I guess seems kinda lost for some folks..There's a kinda unrealistic expectation that just because we are Christian we are somehow exempt from certain life experiences which are actually part of human existence such as loneliness within marriage or when single,...along with other experiences or say...stress,confusion, discouragement ect..I personality don't get it.Cox though God is forever there with us,on a humanist level we are all prone to experience real emotions based upon our life experiences..its so obvious...

It's different when you are single but living with people (family, roommates, etc.). However, single and living alone is not the same. For awhile, I was busy with various things including work happy hour, church activity, etc. after work, but I was missing out on connection. A good friend is like a rare pearl.

We are a pair of night owls it seems.
I am really glad for those who genuinely never get lonely. It must be great in one way. They must be having a great time never having any negative emotions or needing the Lords comfort through the trials of life.
Sad though that they will not be able to morn with those who morn, or empathise with others in their suffering as Christ can and does.
Sad too that they cannot offer the comfort which they themselves are comforted with to others, as they have no need of comfort.
Sad that they cannot comprehend the heart of Jeremiah the weeping prophet, the joy of the answered prayer after a long period of an aching heart, the joy that comes in the morning after a night of weeping, the blessing of those who mourn and are comforted, the experience of the Lord Jesus weeping over Jerusalem or the sufferings of many other godly men and women of the word and in the world around us.
And sadder still they will be unimpressed by the fact God collects our tears and will wipe them all away on that glorious day we enter heaven.
But it’s ok. We don’t all have the same experience here on Earth. Whatever trials they do have, may others be more compassionate towards them than they are over these natural human emotions and needs many of us have.

"Sad too that they cannot offer the comfort which they themselves are comforted with to others, as they have no need of comfort."
Showing the way out exceeds mere "comfort". Sympathy feels sorry for a person, true compassion moves and does something about it. showing how to live to not allow oneself to become lonely is true compassion.

Yes it would seen are most definitely a pair of night gowns.. 🦉🦉🤣..(with our uncanny revolving heads checkng out the views here in C.C).😊
Yes you are right and I think the root is what's motivating someone not to be able to identify,emphasize ect with the emotional suffering of others?We are ALL the same and every one will go through either psychological emotional,physical or spiritual difficult times..none of us are exempt from this as Christian's the bible tells us this.I know that we have various personalities and we all deal with life in terms of how we respond in a wide variety of ways.
We do have various levels of emotional,psychological,physical and even spiritual sensitivities which can affect how we respond in the troublesome things of life.
Yet people can be motivated by pride,hardness of heart,selfishness,lack of people skills,arrogance,self importance,emotional immaturity,inexperience of particular life experiences and many other things that can make them unable to demonstrate any real emotional awareness when it comes to certain life experiences of others.This is why often in our lives there are certain people we would never go to for any kind of support if we're going through something.
Loneliness for example is basically to be in a state of silent mourning due to the absence of something you need weither it be companionship,emotional warmth,acceptance,appreciation and so on.Loneliness is born out of a degree of separation from something else which unfortunately is part of this fallen world which we can experience as Gods people though we are saved in our life experience.
The lockdown have highlighted many mental health issues and one of them is loneliness and feelings of isolation..

I do feel you are a bit deluded as to the trials and tribulations we face in our weak human flesh. But I am not living your life so I cannot judge why you won’t accept even Jesus had negative and very real and painful emotions as a human.
The way out is Christ of course and the hope of heaven. The place where there is no more suffering. The place we long for daily because our souls are vexed here and because we suffer within this human frail flesh.
It might work for you but it isn’t always biblical or helpful to simply tell people they shouldn’t be suffering or affected by sufferings because they have Jesus - who Himself suffered both emotionally and physically, and therefore understands and helps us with in our our weakness.

Another important thing for married couples... even if you have a great relationship with your spouse, it's still good to have friends outside of marriage. Wives need time to spend with their girlfriends and husbands need time to spend with their friends. I also think it's good for couples to socialize together as a couple since they are "one flesh" and need to interact with other couples in the same way.
