Hey, I was curious about #2 in light of people who may be single in your church? Some people are called to singleness. Some are single because they've just not found "the one." I have two adult daughters who are faithfully following and serving Christ, but not actively dating (largely due to the dating pool), so I've become more sensitive to this. Thoughts?
This is a really important question, and I fully agree that singleness can be sacred and godly. Obviously, Jesus himself was single. Singles still very often have families, extended or closer networks of relations they can and should cultivate. Likewise, they will find even more importance of God’s eternal family, the church, and they can show us to value the church more than our “family-centric” lives sometimes do.

I enjoyed this wonderful thought provoking article.
