S.A.D.?

I'm sorry, but I think that having a singles awareness day is a little ridiculous. It's not a disease, people.
Here's the point I want to make: Singleness is just as much a gift from God as a godly relationship is, and you bet you can honor Him just as well in your single years. In fact, Paul says that we can focus more on God as a single person. I kind of view it as comparable to something my parents always used to say: If you want a different chore, you have to become diligent at this one first, before you move on and gain more responsibility. Use your single years productively, or you won't be ready for a relationship. Use them to serve others (great preparation for marriage) and become closer to God (indispensable preparation for marriage) Use them to perfect the skills that you will need as a spouse (for guys, getting a career, for girls, learning how to run a household effectively). Oh, yes, and learn to embrace your femininity and respect your body, because it does not belong to you, but to Christ and your future husband. Guys, become men and protect your eyes, because your future wife has every right to them. These years are a precious preparation time that God is giving you so that you don't have to learn it all on the spot. That would be extremely difficult. Don't waste your preparation time trying to jump into the job. That would be like going to college straight out of middle school instead of going to highschool first, or going to war without any training. In short, it's stoopid. ;)
