Single Face Full
9 Challenges Christian Singles Face Part1
The Bible tells us that the Christian life is a life of abundance, full of love, peace and joy. Yet some singles live a painful, lonely and discouraging existence. It does not have to be this way.
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Psalm 30:5
Pain can come for the single person because of absence of having a partner in their life, especially when no one has approached them for sometime. The waiting period can be extremely painful and lonely. God’s way of doing things does not make sense to the average man. Similarly His timing differs from our concept of time. We live in a microwave society where everything is obtained with great speed; hardly anyone is prepared to wait for anything. Yet there is the adage, which states, “everything worth gold is worth waiting for.” Many single people, in an attempt to avoid the pain of waiting for Mr. or Miss Right and/or for their relationship to develop, rush into courtship or marriage. The resultant effect can lead to more pain than the waiting period yielded.
1. Other People’s Perception
A common complaint of single people is the fact that they are happy and content with their singleness. The only problem they have is the worry of others around them concerning their single state. Sometimes questions abound as to why they have remained single. Family and friends have become psychologists and/ or detectives in the attempt to deduce the reason for their singleness. This can be very painful.
2. Parents and Friends
In a similar manner to other peoples’ perception of the single person’s status in a negative way, parents and close friends can equally and unwittingly add painful pressure. Parents who desire to see their children happily married off and settled can sometimes push their children into relationships they do not want, in an attempt to fulfil their own dream. The single person under such pressure enters a relationship that is not of their choosing. Their disapproval and/ or concern of these relations and associates can add to the concerns of the single person and as a consequence cause unwarranted pressures. The single person therefore can begin to review their single status on the basis of what their family/ friends are saying about them. Singles should not buckle under such pressure because at the end of the day, their parents/ friends will not be marrying the person who could end up spending many decades of their life with them.
3. Rejection
It is inevitable that not all relationships will work out between two people. There are countless reasons why things do not go according to the desires of two people involved in a relationship. Incompatibility, different vision and/ or purpose, age difference, lack of chemistry, opposition of parents can be considered as some of the reasons. The resultant breakdown of the relationship can lead to feelings of rejection by the person who feels their love has not been accepted by the other party. It is good when the couple mutually understand the need to go their separate ways but where this is not the case, the pain of rejection can be overwhelming for the person whose love has been ‘spurned’.
