Single to Be Married
Single identifies a person’s relationship status. I am single. The majority of my friends are single. The majority of Americans in my age bracket are single. Still, I suspect the majority of single Americans desire to be married. I do. I believe I am meant to be married because of a strong desire God has given me to be married.
My parents were both nineteen, when they got married. I always thought I would get married, when I was nineteen. When that didn’t happen, it was okay. I was still young. I enjoyed being single.

He has dark brown hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses. He is a lot taller than me. I’m not sure what is going to happen, but we have been talking a lot. I am asking the Lord every day, to give me wisdom and discernment. I’ve never looked at someone the way I am looking at him. Could he be the one God picked out for
