Why Are There So Many Singles? Why Am I Still Single, You May Ask.

  Check out the answers given by Rick Phillips and my additions that follow in this blog post Why So Many Singles? POSTED BY RICK PHILLIPS Take a minute to review this link and then come back for my comments (or visa-versa, if you prefer) I agree on his perspective but would add or elaborate the following. I have spoken with fellow marrieds about one particular single (never married) Christian male. As far as any of us can see, he is doing everything right that a Christian single male is told to do. The only things that we can see as continuing his singleness would be some unseen trait only revealed when he is interested in a certain person of the opposite sex (which we don't think likely), his mild social awkwardness or that he is not outwardly appealing to the opposite sex. We marrieds shake our heads at this state of affairs and pray for him. Another thing I see are eligible singles spending all of their time, energy, passion going after one particular member of the o...

You Don't Need a Man to Push the "Play Button" for Your Life to Begin! Guest article by Sheri Rose Shepherd

The  Tyndale Blog Network  has allowed me to feature a few articles from Sheri Rose Shepherd.  I previewed this and thought that this may be helpful to singles out there who read this blog or have friends or family that do.  Let me know what you think. Disclaimer: though I did a bit of research on Mrs. Shepherd, I leave it up to the blog reader to do his or her own digging on this author and to come to one's own conclusion.  Nothing that I have found has been of any concern.  And this piece is worth the reading, enjoy! An Article for Singles By Sheri Rose Shepherd, Bestselling Author and Bible Life Coach I have been married twenty-five years, and my husband and I joke that it has been seven of the best years of our lives. Why is it that we spend so much time searching for someone to share life with, and so many times the dream of wanting and wondering becomes better than the reality of the man or the marriage? I believe when a ma...

For Men Only: A Book Review (and yes, you ladies can read it)

For Men Only by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn is not just another book on the male-female relationship, guys. It is a humorous, thoroughly researched book on understanding women, specifically the woman in your life. Many times along the way, I found myself breaking out into laughter. Using a scientific survey method and hundreds of interviews, the Feldhahns seek to inform men as to how to improve their relationship. As an added plus, men, the book is a compact size and easy to read. Inside, you will find some things you knew but lots of other things that may be eye-opening. The key to understanding your mate is as elementary as can be: men and women are different so stop projecting your likes and dislikes onto her guys! Did you ever wonder . . . 1) Why she is so insecure and what you can do about it? 2) How you can help her clear those distractions from her mind so that she can relax with you? 3) What security means to her and how to help her feel it? 4) Why your trying t...
