Single and Satisfied - Tips from a Single Lady to Other Christian Singles
I am a single and satisfied Christian single. I love to be married, but I'm not pursuing marriage with my tongue sticking out. I will not sacrifice godly values for the title of Mrs.
Arriving at this place was not a single step. It was a journey as I shared in Living Single - My Christian Experience.
In this article, I share tips and quotes to help Christian singles find contentment during this beautiful season.
Singleness is not a sin, it is not a punishment, it is not a second-rate life to escape from at whatever cost.
This season can be your best life. It just depends on how you handle it.
Living single, especially as a Christian, can be challenging. You can't live your life as the rest of the world and still honor God.
Our society, and sadly some Christian settings, doesn't can make singleness even more difficult.
That's why I'm passionate about helping Christians waiting for marriage to experience all the contentment they can get in this season.
I'll list the tips first, then do a brief explanation after. You can find the quotes further down.

10 Inspirational Quotes for Christian Singles
1. Intimacy with Jesus is the highest pursuit in life. There lies your strength and contentment.
2. Contentment in singleness is not suppressing or denying your need for marriage.
It is living a healthy life—emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually a—while waiting for marriage.
3. When God makes you wait for a spouse, it is wise to wait.
Yielding to the pressure to get married to the wrong person leads to deep disappointment.
4. Successful marriages don't fall from the sky. It is important to prepare for a great marriage during singleness.

God knows who fits you more than anyone else. If you trust in Him, He will lead you to that person.

A passive waiting breeds impatience, frustration, and vulnerability to bad decisions.
