First, I absolutely love marriage. I agree that it is holy and should be respected and protected. However, I also believe that single people are holy and are just as worthy of being protected and respected.
To be “holy” simply means to be set apart by God. It can also mean to be set apart for a specific purpose. Singleness is a specific purpose for many, where God has intentionally set some apart for His work.
Despite this, many singles struggle with accepting their calling as single believers due to cultural pressures. At times, singles may not even be in touch with what their actual desires are. They may wonder: “Do I want to be married right now, or am I just seeking a partner to remove the stigma of singleness?”
Singles should ask themselves these questions to become self-aware of what they truly want, as they are the ones who must walk out the choices they make.
