The Misunderstood World Of Single Adults

[larryt]

There has been some discussion here, and on other areas of this site about being single in today’s world. I have this little booklet about the “Misunderstood World of Single Adults”, and they list several myths about single adults that are accepted as facts. I thought you might enjoy them.

Myth #1: Singles are more unfulfilled than married people.
(Marriage is not the basis for a fulfilled life; fulfillment comes from a relationship with Christ)

Myth #2: Marriage solves all the problems of singleness.
(The reality is that marriage brings many new problems)

Myth #3: Marriage is Gods highest calling for men and women.
(The Bible does not teach this)

Myth #4: Singles struggle with loneliness more than married people do.
(Loneliness can be a major element of singleness, but not all adult singles struggle with loneliness any more than married people do)

Myth #5: Singles have more time and money than married people do.
(Some singles do have more discretionary time and income, but many do not)

Myth #6: Single are more self-centered than married people.
(Any person, single or married, can choose to live selfishly)

Myth #7: Singles are more sexually frustrated than married people.
(Married adults are subject to sexual frustration too)

Myth #8: Singles can’t lead as effectively as married people.
(Jesus was single!)
