Single and Hoping or Single and Hating?

We already know the two most popular extremes when it comes to single women. There are those who want the world to know they don’ t need a man. If you dare to inquire of their relationship status they just may bite your head off!“ Why are you asking me that?” Then there are others that can’ t seem to live without having one in their lives. Their heart is like a revolving door because of failed relationship after failed relationship. Others fall somewhere in the middle. They are single, but they are genuinely content with something or nothing happening either way.
I love to challenge single women to be completely OK with wanting a husband. Yes, a husband! Not just a significant other, life partner or potential mate, but a husband! There is nothing wrong with this desire. It doesn’ t make you pathetic, it makes you human. I get so frustrated with women who beat other women over the head because they hope to marry. If you’ re one of those dream crushing women, please, stop it! If you are a woman of God, this plea is especially for you.
Marriage was instituted by God. I don’ t care how much society twists or perverts the union of marriage; it was designed by God! Everything that He designs is good and is good for us! Now on the other hand, if you are one that has carefully assessed your life and determined now is not the time for relationship and marriage, that is perfectly ok as well. Just make sure you’ re making that decision because it’ s what’ s best for you and not because you want to prove how strong you are to a group of women who may be bitter and cynical because of less than favorable experiences.
