There's this series out called "Living Single and Loving It". Saw this mentioned in a group I'm a member of. It's a singles group, but a non-Christian singles group. Upon closer inspection, this video series is Christian-based.
They said that there's more of a benefit to a platonic relationship between opposite sex that is unselfish. That thinking of each other in an unconditional fashion in a brotherly/sisterly fashion is unselfish as opposed to just showing up to a singles event and being "on a mission" to find a mate.
Some comments from the gallery were like "Hm, I find it odd coming from a Christian-based viewpoint because isn't it not a Christian's goals is to find a partner and get married? That God had designed men an women NOT to be platonic.
But to counter that, someone mentioned that there's just something about how people these days RUSH into marriage without KNOWING their partner. And thus these high divorce rates.
Thoughts on this?
