As a survivor and graduate of the single life, I have met and conquered many of the common struggles that come with singleness. It is human nature to desire companionship and intimacy, but there is a right and wrong way to pursue these desires. As Christians, God should always be our top priority and our chief consultant. It is when we ignore His wisdom, and put focus more on the world than on our Father that things begin to unravel.
Anytime our lives become out of step with what is considered the “norm”, we are flooded with well-intentioned advice. “You should date more. You should date less. You should try a blind date. How about a dating show? Are you on E-Harmony? I’ve got this friend…. Maybe you should change your look.” The problem here isn’t the advice; it is the source.
