Unquenchable Songs and Endless Praise appears to have a great blog that I found thanks to a post on Irene's site- I love this:

"You know what's irksome sometimes? When people introduce themselves as being single. I don't know why it bothers me at times, but I find that it has been used in such a diminutive way. Whenever I hear it being said, it always comes with a sense of incompleteness and dissatisfaction. The idea that people have where they are seeking for their 'other half' bothers me. People should regard themselves as whole and complete, with or without a significant other. Yet I find that the idea of singleness among Christians my age is treated as a temporary stage or heaven forbid, a curse, because they are 'missing their other half'! Being single isn't looked upon favorably anymore and seems to be mentioned more out of desperation than joyfulness. When these people mention that they're single, they do so out of contempt for where they are right now."

I remember my single days well. Looking back on them they were good times. Being married has been great also, but I do feel that we need to learn to appreciate whatever stage of life we are in, and to realise that for some people marriage is not the state they will be most complete in. We can be single and complete, or rather some of us can.
