David from Ireland“I live alone and it’s f***ing
brilliant. No nagging battle-ax to shower with gifts or money. I’m
23 and only plan to lose my freedom (get hitched) at 43.”
“Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.” Christina Aguilera
‘Hiding’ online“I’ve been married for ten years.
I pray for death every day. Either mine or hers. Has to be better than this hell I live in.”
“I don’t like being alone” Cristiano Ronaldo
“Being alone is very difficult.”Yoko Ono
“I fear being alone but I need lots of solitude. That's always been a tug of war for me.”Jodie Foster
1 Cor 7 1 Replying now to your question: ‘Is it good to avoid
sexual relations?’ 2 Since there is so much immorality, each
man should have his own wife, and each woman her own
husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty
to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The
wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her
husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not
belong to him alone but also to
his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual
consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to
prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your
lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a
command. 7 I wish that all were single as I am. But each has
his own gift from God; 8 Now to the unmarried and the
widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I
am. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should
marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
27Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not
sinned. But those who marry face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you that.
29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From
now on those who have wives should live as if they had
none; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not;
those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31
those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its
present form is passing away. 32 I would like you to be free
from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can
please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned
about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife
— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about
the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the
affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good,
not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in
undivided devotion to the Lord. 39 A woman is bound
to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies,
she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must
belong to the Lord. 40 However, in my judgment, she is happier
if she stays as she is.
Promoting singleness ahead of marriage
Morgan Femi“It’s pretty hard to be single in
Africa. Rumours start. Your Mum cries. Your friends think
you are nerds.”
