We’re still living in a culture that misunderstands the why of singleness. If you’re over thirty and you’re still single, the gay community will push you to admit who you really are. Feminists will commend you for standing up for who you are. Traditionalists will wonder where your parents went wrong. Society will tell you that you can still do something about it and change it. And the church simply doesn’t know what to do with you.
In a culture where everything promotes marriage and family, the idea that anyone would be single by choice or giftedness seems preposterous. If you’re single, there must be a reason. There must be something wrong with you. There must be a good explanation. Every other explanation for your singleness is too outrageous to validate.
