So, I have recently heard sermons and am currently reading a book on relationships and being single. I wanted to share some words of wisdom I have learned:
I think we have come to believe that being with someone physically and/or intimately will make us happy and fulfilled. But how many of us have felt blessed to be single-belonging to the Lord spirit, soul, and body? Or felt joy for not being in a relationship? It's okay to want a relationship and to get married, but relationships should not become an idol to us. In due time, God will bless you with your perfect soul mate. But before you can be blessed, you must learn to love yourself, and in order to love yourself, you must learn to love God and be committed to Him. Then, you can truly love someone else. For if you have no time for God, whom you cannot see in the physical sense, how can you have time for a mate, whom you will spend much of your time with.
We have to learn to embrace our singleness, in order to appreciate our union with someone else. It is more important to be single and whole as an individual before we can be together and make whole with someone else.
Just check out the definition of being Single. Embrace it!
So, learn to be happy and single and enjoy loving God and experiencing life. Wait for love!
1 Corinthians 13: 1-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
What's the reality?...wait patiently!

I definitely agree. The world has cultivated a concept of not achieving fulfillment in life without finding someone to share it with. This has been exuded through various means, even the mass media and has become an idea and mentality of the social norm. We are convinced that we will not be happy in life without a mate.
This is a phenomena that is learned and becomes a second nature, which leads us to feeling as if we need to 'find' 'the one' and we forget that we need to be satisfied as an individual.
The only way such is achieved is through our oneness with God. Of course it is not as primitive as it sounds, but it is attainable if you truly want it. (Certainly has not been easy for me)
A mate is here to compliment us, and that is their sole purpose. Not to become our other half, but to compliment what is already whole; what is already there 100%.
That's my two cents, now let me go ahead and practice what I preach :)
