Dear Singles,
Please ponder on these things:
1. Being single is the highest calling in the realm of relationships because a successful marriage is the product of two people who are successfully single.
2. Your marriage will only be as successful as your singleness, because you will bring to a marriage only what you are as a single.
3. If you need to get married to be fulfilled or feel loved, you are not ready for marriage. The very thing that makes you want to get married will become the problem in your marriage.
4. Do not let people rush you into getting married. Some people are not married yet because they are smart enough not to hurry into it like others have.
5. You should build “you” before you ever think about building a marriage.
6. Unmarried Christians should be so consumed by God and His will, and so preoccupied and committed to finding out who they are in Him, that they are not distracted by a search for another person.
7. "I do not exist without you.” “I cannot get along without you.” “If you go away, my world will crumble.” Those statements are not romantic! They reflect an addictive dependency—rather than being addicted to a substance, you are addicted to a person.
8. If you’re thinking of getting married just for physical/sexual gratification, then know that your marriage will be troubled from day one and will not last.
9. If you are considering marriage, ask yourself; am I willing to share my time, privacy, material goods, money, secrets, ambitions, dreams, goals, visions, and desires with another person?
10. If you readily detect that someone is not a prospective marriage partner, then why waste your time and energy dating, communicating with, and sharing your hopes, dreams, and inner thoughts with that person?
