Singleness is a Blessing

 

Singleness is a Blessing
Classifying establishment according to marital status is false teaching. And one of the problems of society is treating the single as a second class citizen. We have to stand with the truth. We can only survive standing with the truth and not against it.
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:8
Singleness isn’t incompleteness. Singleness isn’t a lower grade of life.
Singleness isn’t just a stage of waiting to be married. It is a special stage on its own. Singleness has an important place in human development. There are some things that can only be done by singles not married.
As marriage has its unique opportunities and challenges, so is singleness. It takes grace to fulfill God’s plane of singleness, and it takes grace to fulfill the purpose of God in marriage.
Singleness isn’t synonymous of incompleteness.
A person can be married and incomplete as much as a single can be incomplete. A person can be married and completed as much as a single can be completed. The completeness does not come either by being single or married.
Completeness comes by understanding self and knowing how to live with it. It is an understanding of self and knowing how to relate with others.
Dr. Myles Munroe in his book Single Married Divorced explains that Adam was single and complete before he got married. Adam was not desperate to be complete by Eve. Instead, Adam got married because he was complete and had something to give. Eve got married because she was complete and had something to offer to the marriage. Adam and eve were complete and got married because of that not towards completion.
He further explains that marriage doesn’t make one complete.
One isn’t married to completion. Actually completeness is the most important qualification of marriage.
One must know how to live with himself before he lives with another person in love. One must know how to understand, respect, and love himself before he understands respects, and love others.
One must know how to be a son and a daughter of God. He or She must know how to receive from God. The person must know how to believe God. One must know how to hear from God. A person must know how to relate to his or her father God.
One must be complete before he or she gets married. Marriage isn’t a union of two incomplete people trying to complete each other. Marriage is the union of two complete people.
Not only completeness is the most important requirement, but the effectiveness of the marriage is also directly proportional to the completeness of the individuals.
He must leave his father and mother to be complete in him-self before he unites with his wife in a meaningful and fruitful way.
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:24
Even after one gets married he or she must keep their "singleness". They both must keep their completeness. An unhealthy dependence on each other is a sign of lack of boundary and a cause of abuse.
What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 1 Corinthians 7:29
