  1. This is an excellent, inspiring and educational article. Thank you William for your inciteful words and references that both married and singles can benefit from.

  2. Great article indeed. Unfortunately, even Family Life ministries is made by some to be all about marriage (and sex)and if you are unmarried in the church, you must prepare yourself for the hammering as most of the preaching is all about Genesis 2:18 all the time. And here you will hear remarks like, "you aren't complete ...or you are half..." etc. Hence some of the unmarried do not attend Family Life Ministries programmes. It's as if the unmarried, divorced, widows etc are not
    'family'or do not have 'family responsibilities' in their homes or are not
    part of the 'church family'.

    • That is so sad Boykie. I believe the areas I am in have really come around. I know 40 years ago at a men's ministry retreat all the information was on marriage and single men were instructed to keep this information for when they got married. After all its all about being married, right? Well I noticed just a couple years ago at a men's ministry retreat the speaker encouraged the single men to use the information he was giving in their regular friendships as well as being brothers, sons and uncles. The speaker realized there is more to life and relationships than marriage.

  3. Thank you brother William for that well written info. Yes I think people fail to realize that there were many single people in the Bible, including one of my favorite prophets Jeremiah, who was a type of Christ, as he had to tread the wine press alone in more ways than one, just like Jesus. Only Jeremiah was promised protection from being put to death.
    I have seen nothing but divorce in my life in so many ways and the one solid mariage I saw with my Dad’s parents, who slept in different rooms. I would hear from my Pappy, after a spat, if you can all but help it don’t get married.
    And there is a saying that goes, it’s better to be single wishing you were married, then to be married wishing you were single. But I say, with Paul, it’s better to be single living for God.
