Society tells us that our main goal in life is to find our soul mate, but I am here to tell you that it is not. Life is about so much more. This is not to say that I don't believe in true love, I most definitely do, but I also believe that there are some who are called to singleness and others who are called to singleness for a time. Here are reasons why being single is more than okay.

1. This is a time for you to find yourself.

Your identity should not be in a relationship. If you cannot stand by yourself, how will you be able to contribute to a healthy relationship?

2. You learn to love yourself.

Instead of spending time devoting your attention to a relationship, you have time to learn to love yourself.

3. Your friendships will grow.

You have time to devote to other relationships and to make them stronger.

4. You are free to pursue your dreams.

Perhaps this is you pursuing your goals before you find that special someone. It may seems out of order, but it is the perfect order for YOUR life.

5. You don't have to worry about impressing someone.

Our focus tends to get scued when we are in a relationship. Not having to worry what another person thinks of us allows for us to focus on more important things.

6. We can focus on our relationship with Christ.

Instead of finding our identity in our significant other, we are able to find it in Christ. This is truly the only place we should search for our identity.

Being single is not something to threat over but rather something to cherish. This is not a time that you will be able to get back, so don't throw it away.
