Being Single Well

"There are different reasons why some men don’t marry. Some were born without the ability to produce children. Others were made that way later in life. And others have given up marriage because of God’s kingdom. This is for anyone who is able to accept it.” (Matthew 19:12 ERV) It is possible to be single and do it well! "Now for those [believers] who are not married and for the widows I say this: It is good for you to stay single like me. But if you cannot control your body, then you should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire. ... I want you to be free from worry. A man who is not married is busy with the Lord’s work. He is trying to please the Lord. ... A woman who is not married or a girl who has never married is busy with the Lord’s work. She wants to give herself fully—body and spirit—to the Lord. ... I am saying this to help you. I am not trying to limit you, but I want you to live in the right way. And I want you to give yourselves fully to the Lord without giving your time to other things." (1 Corinthians 7:8-9, 32, 34-35 ERV)
