God said no one should actually enjoy being single. (Genesis 2:18) So that would be my stance.

It is true that a content (big word here is content) single can make use of that extra time to love and serve others. However this is just the result of being a content single. This does not mean singleness in itself is good. But more like something bad that have a positive side effect.

If this choice is between marrying an awesome spouse and being single, I am sure 99% of the people will pick marrying an awesome spouse.

But God gives a gift to some and a different gift to others. So let all of us be content with whatever gift God gives us. (Matthew 19:10-12)
