It can’t be easy to hear things of marriage if not applicable. I do think of the widowed, single etc. I guess on the other hand, it’s much needed spiritual food and encouragement for those who happen to married this side of Armageddon. Sometimes it’s not easy in this imperfect world. 
 

Much love to all you dear brothers and sisters, whatever situation you find yourselves in. Hopefully, we can all glean some encouragement from this months broadcast.

Yes, you're absolutely right.
I do appreciate all the good advice the slave gives us, singles or married, on all subjects. And thank you for pointing this out!

But since I'm serving in a field where marriage is like a "must", where you just feel that people view being married as "the real life" and singles are sometimes viewed on as not knowing how life works, those articles and programs are just seeming to reinforce that perspective..

So, honestly, today I was very excited for the new broadcast. But with excitement, there is always the risk of getting disappointed, I guess

One time, I (diehard single) was going out with a couple in service and they were insisting on playing this song "Truely in love". And I was sitting there like: Guys, I'm sorry, but can you skip this one, please?
Answer: No: get used to it.. (While looking to each other in the most awkward ways possible)

So.... Maybe this is why I have a little bit an allergy towards those subjects

But, nevertheless, thanks. I know this is my problem. I'll try to find how to apply some of the principles being discussed.

The original song this month (until I get an official title) is My Only One.

 

I have converted the song to mp3 format and posted it in my song collection. For the link, send me a PM. (If you already have it, it's the same one as usual.)

I understand why you might feel that way.  At one time I felt the same when talks, assembly/convention parts, study articles, etc. were about subjects that didn’t fit my life at the time, such as marriage, children, pioneering.   
However, a long time ago, I  heard some sage advice:  if you think the “counsel/advice” doesn’t fit, Make It Fit.  

Think about how you can apply the information in your life.  
There is so much to learn even when a topic does not seem to “fit” your life.  The counsel given in the broadcast can be applied to any situation and relationship, such as the principles of Love, respect, patience, kindness, wisdom, headship, communication, endurance etc.

Don’t be disappointed, Whether you are married, not married, have no intention of being married or want to get married, there are lessons to be learned and applied for each and every one of us.

I think the information (counsel?) about how men and women need to understand the communication types and styles of each gender is very important regardless of marital status.  All of us communicate but as we see it is not always on an understanding level.  Elders talking to sisters, sisters trying to communicate an idea or request to a brother may take a moment to reflect on the advice given here.

 

And the information concerning loyalty and support apply to single ones with our friends and the organization in general.  There is much to be learned.

When I was single, one of my roommates used to love listening to love songs, and said that because she had no one to sing them about, it would be about her relationship with Jehovah. Not a bad idea!

[Sofia]

I have never heard so well explained the issue of communication between married people! 

Thank you Jehovah!

Thanks a lot for all of your comments. My first reaction was indeed one of disappointment. But reading the comments and thinking about it, made me feel differently.

I didn't see the program yet, but I'm sure the principles used are not only for married people. We can all learn from it. Thanks to you all that you reminded me of that

(I can't promise btw that this new song will make it to my repeated Playlist though Forgive me for that)

Like some others, I wasn’t particularly thrilled at the topic of the broadcast, as I am single. But I must say that I love that new song! Very Frank Sinatra-esque, and I’m a sucker for those old jazzy crooner songs. And although I’m single, I do appreciate a good love song. Lovely lyrics, beautiful melody, and a great video.

Well, let me be positive. I'm happy the couples enjoyed it.
