Being single is a gift, focus on Christ

Sounds good on paper but, even Paul of the Bible stated that it's probably best for most to be married. He knew that most would have that burning desire -- oh - I really want one of those to love on and be with !

About 14 years ago I ran an ad in a local paper stating --

Working Christian man looking for working Christian woman for dating and possible marriage.

I was ending up with about one date per week with some fine Christian Ladies.
Met my schoolteacher wife of 11 years now through that ad.
She's a saint.

Seek one with all your heart.

That's certainly encouraging M Bob, and I'm glad you found your wife ☺

A few things; Paul bounces back and forth at times between speaking through the Holy Spirit and speaking on his own accord at times. Jesus himself explicitly states in Matthew 19:12 That men who can be single, should remain as such. Jesus himself says this.

Also marriage is temporary, Mark 12:25. Our relationship with Jesus is for eternity. Being married is nice but it does not complete a man the way some people seem to believe. Jesus is who completes me ☺
