The Single Life: Cherish It

These days, it seems so many people in our generation are getting married. On Facebook, we often see new engagements or photos from recent weddings in our newsfeeds. We rejoice with these people as we celebrate a new chapter in their lives. However, many people in our generation might look at these instances and lament about being single, which is a great mistake.

In our culture, there is often a push to hook up, date immediately, or get married soon since our friends are getting married or to quickly get a legal stamp of approval for deep desires (you know what I’m talking about). At the same time, the single life is often condemned or celebrated in a distasteful way by, most namely, feminists, in the name of “gender equality” and disdain for marriage and family life.Hardly do we ever hear the single life discussed as a beautiful chapter in our lives by the media or in our culture. From my own experience, I have only seen that discussion brought forth by the Catholic Church and some Protestant denominations. However, one does not have to be religious to understand why being single for the time being is not a bad thing.
