True. I have a girl that I've been seeing. We're both divorcees and had considered marriage. We don't have a date planned or anything. Largely we started calling each other "fiance" because the terms "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" sounded silly at our age. But the more and more I think about it... the more and more I don't think I want to remarry. Yes, this could be a deal breaker on her side, and understandably so. I don't like the drama of relationships. I like being able to do what I enjoy. I like a nice quiet home. I like to read and study my Bible for hours on end if I want to. I like the quiet times of prayer. I'm finding myself increasingly unhappy.
So... I'm curious. How do those Christians who have chosen a single lifestyle cope with the issues I listed above?
loneliness
fighting temptation
masturbation
pornography
How do single Christians overcome loneliness?
How does a single Christian find a healthy single sexuality in Christ? Is there such a thing?
I ask this from deep down in my heart because not only would these be issues I'd admittedly face... but certainly these are issues that every single Christian might face.
So I need some of your thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris
