Know any good poems about being single and loving it? There are a number of sites that offer pomes about being singles that, although not necessarily Christian, you may want to check out. The reason for this is that many of these poems about loving being single strike a nerve with those who struggle with singlehood.

I know most of uslknow there are a lot of great reasons for remaining single in this life. After all, the Apostle Paul 1 Corinthians 7 stated due to the concerns of this world, and the divied interests one would have if married, it would be better to remain single. I know. This is NOT what most of us want to hear, and certainly not why you visited Christian Dating Service Plus.
Our feelings on this subject of singleness is that it’s cool and admirable to want to be married, but while one IS single, he or she should enjoy the experience of singleness as they wait on God to provide a life long mate.
Bible Verse of Day: 6-10-09
~I think it is best to remain as you are. 27 If you have a wife, do not seek to end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not seek to get married. 28 But if you do get married, it is not a sin~1 COR 7:26-28
Singleness as an Opportunity

The following article on Christian singleness was written by Dan Knowles, one of our many readers from the UK. If you have any comments on singleness as it relates to being a Christian single, Dan would love to hear from you. Thanks brother!
I’ve recently realised why singleness can get us so down, and it’s pretty much to do with how the devil gives us false notions. We live in a world obsessed about sex and relationships and there’s so much pressure to find someone to share life with more intimately. I fear as Christians we have also taken on this worldly view, that we need someone to complete us, make us whole, fill in the blanks. This, for the world, is spot on. There’s a big God-shaped hole they are trying to fill with drugs, alcohol, relationships, you name it. But for us as Christians, we should be able to see we’re already complete, we needn’t be going through life focusing on when our perfect partner is going to show up. We already have all we need in God, although the devil makes it extremely hard to realise it.
Bible Verse of Day
~I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs–how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world–how he can please his wife– and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world–how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord~1 Corinthians 7:32-35
We’re never going to know God fully because He’s infinite. However, WE can grow in knowing Him. This blows my mind!! What an awesome opportunity we have when we’re single to focus completely and willingly on God. Such an opportunity won’t come once we’re in a Christian dating relationship so make the most of it while you can. Hope this post helped

Christian Singles, Singleness and Marriage
September 22, 2006
I meet so many Christian singles who have a distorted view of marriage and singleness. Somehow many singles have gotten it into their heads that marriage is THE biggest goal to achieve, while singleness is looked on as less desireable.
Unfortunately, a lot of Christians’ thinking about singleness and marriage is reinforced by our church culture. For example, while the greatest missionary in history, the Apostle Paul, was single, many modern day mission boards and churches exclude ministerial candidates unless they are married. Singlehood definitely takes a back seat to married life in the churches.
Of course, this line of thinking is completely assinine and unbiblical, especially in light of our Bible verses of the day found in 1 Coriinthians 7: 32-34:
“I want you to live as free of complications as possible. When you’re unmarried, you’re free to concentrate on simply pleasing the Master. Marriage involves you in all the nuts and bolts of domestic life and in wanting to please your spouse, leading to so many more demands on your attention. The time and energy that married people spend on caring for and nurturing each other, the unmarried can spend in becoming whole and holy instruments of God.”
How Single Christians Distort Singleness and Marriage
Having a distorted view of singleness and marriage can cause you to lose your joy in the Lord, as well as your contentedness with life in general. What exactly is a distorted view of singleness and marriage? Honestly ask yourself the following questions to see where you stand:
- Do you feel you are incomplete or abnormal as long as you remain single?
- Do you feel that marriage, meeting Mr. or Mrs. Right, will solve all your problems in your life?
- Have you been so self-absorbed with seeking a soulmate for marriage that you have neglected friends, family and fellowship with other believers?
- In your singleness, are you pursuing marriage more than God? (Ouch!)
If you answered any of these questions in the positive, you have an unhealthy view of singleness and marriage.
As singles seeking the Lord over this issue, covenenant with Him in prayer to begin seeing your singleness and marriage as He does. The important thing to remember is that our Heavenly Father did not sanction marriage as the only way to live, or singleness as second best lifestyle.
Are you a Christian singles with a different view of singleness and marriage?
