Author	Thread: Where do single women fit?
Admin	Where do single women fit? Posted : 30 May, 2012 10:12 PM While reading different parts of the Bible I began to wonder where I fit in God's world/plan. I couldn't find a direct answer from the Bible or researching on line (at least looking for reputable sources). There is much in the Bible about honoring a husband and a woman's place in the home, but in a time/place where arranged marriages are not the norm, where does a single woman fit? Will God shun me for all eternity because I have not found a suitable husband? Am I breaking commandments by being a successful single woman? Just wondering if anyone has ideas about this or can direct me to scriptures that relate to the 21st century. Thanks, and God bless! Post Reply

teach_ib View Profile History	Where do single women fit? Posted : 31 May, 2012 11:37 PM God calls some people to be single. Paul encouraged those who were not married to remain single. 1 Corinthians 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. ���9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. ���32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: �33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. �34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. ��35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. Be willing to accept a single life, but keep praying for God's choice of a spouse. There are many things a single woman can do for God...Sunday School teacher, children's ministry, missionary, etc. Post Reply

Posted : 1 Jun, 2012 03:35 PM Hey, I have been struggling mostly with how to explain to others, who are concerned that I am not attached yet, why I am ok at the moment. While searching the internet I found a great website concerning . . . you guessed it . . . single women. http://www.christian-single-woman.com/site-map.html it is a great site that offers alot of insight into your question, and encouragement too. Check it out. I think I am being directed to get closer to God, and that is preparing me to become a wife (or maybe it is just drawing me closer to God). Hope it helps! Post Reply
