How are you dealing with singleness?


Recommended Posts

Great, thank you.

 

I have heard it said that there are two different kinds of people in the world: The kind that are married, and the kind that want to be married. However, I don't seem to fit into either of those categories. I am single, and find it to be a gift from Jehovah. No complaints.

What are some ways of copping with singleness? 

 

Hi, @Nicol!  I'm originally from Chicago (south suburbs, actually), too 😉

 

Coping with singleness: I guess that depends on if you want to be cool and faithful until you're married or how to best thrive contentedly in your single state in our family-oriented Organization, *without* marriage as your goal. Those are two very different states of being; the solutions are not the same.

 

There's a nice (massive) thread related to this topic here. Lots of different points of view over the years - yours would be welcome! ❤️

As a suggestion @Nicol, perhaps you also may enjoy reading through this topic. Or this one, although it may be too far outside the bounds of what you're looking for. And, there's another here.

 

Or if you've already read through those and you're looking for fresh ideas, you did a good thing starting this topic. It seems there are many, brothers as well as sisters, who are coping with singleness because they have to. They just don't find a suitable life partner in the congregations nearby. My heart goes out to you, actually, even though I don't fit into the subject. I'm sure you'll find many other willing to discuss it. (I kind of thought @Hope would join into this topic though!)
