Singles Quotes

“There were a lot of these middle-aged single types in the neighborhood, shipwrecked by every kind of catastrophe, but she was one of the few who didn't have children, who lived alone, who was still kinda young. Something must have happened, your mother speculated. In her mind, a woman with no child could be explained only by vast untrammelled calamity. Maybe she just doesn't like children. Nobody likes children, your mother assured you. That doesn't mean you don't have them.”

“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”

“There will be a time when love is beautiful and passionate and nothing else will exist but you and the person you love, and a time when love hurts so badly that you will wish you wouldn't wake up. I say this. Always, always, always approach love with the heart of the angel you were born with.”

“Singles are told to be content with where they are in life but also encouraged and pressured to move out of their current “situation” or “season.” Being told both of these can become a bit confusing.”

“Let’s encourage singles to enjoy this season in other ways than simply telling them it’s a gift. Because if we are being honest, marriage is a gift too and you can’t blame a girl for wanting it.”

“God’s story for someone’s life may look different than the “typical” story you are used to hearing, but that does not diminish the beauty and gift from God. It does not mean someone has lived life wrong. It means God has something else in store.”

“Desiring marriage does not automatically mean I am discontent in my life. As long as I desire Jesus more than marriage, I shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed for desiring to be married one day.”

“We often correlate the “bad or unwanted” feelings we have with what we believe to be the truth, but our feelings don’t always tell the full picture. If we are not careful, we will start to let these false narratives become our life mottos. So what is the truth? God does care, and just because we are unable to see clearly why he chooses to love us a certain way in this exact moment doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.”

“When you guard your heart and fill it with godly influences, there is no room for comparison, heartbreak, or deceit. No room for anything that tears down your spirit and joy for life, only room for God and who he says you are.”

“I want a husband who loves Jesus and keeps him at the center of his life, someone who is not ashamed to live counterculturally and stand up for Christ. I want someone who has integrity, who is obedient to God, and who loves Jesus more than he loves me.”

“Never allow yourself to become a choice in any relationship. The moment you do is when you have reduced your loved one's affections to a daily biological question: Should I take a dump here or wait till I get home?”

“Strays is what a writer I recently read calls those who, for one reason or another, and despite whatever they might have wanted earlier in life, never really become a part of life, not in the way most people do. They may have serious relationships, they may have friends, even a sizable circle, they may spend large portions of their time in the company of others. But they never marry and they never have children. On holidays, they join some family or other group. This goes on year after year, until they finally find it in themselves to admit that they'd really rather just stay home. But you must see a lot of people like that, I say to the therapist. Actually, he says, I don't.”

“(Response to King Erik XIV of Sweden's proposal of marriage:) "[W]hile we perceive ... the zeal and love of your mind towards us is not diminished, yet in part we are grieved that we cannot gratify your Serene Highness with the same kind of affection. And that indeed does not happen because we doubt in any way of your love and honour, but, as often we have testified both in words and writing, that we have never yet conceived a feeling of that kind of affection towards anyone. We therefore beg your Serene Highness again and again that you be pleased to set a limit to your love, that it advance not beyond the laws of friendship for the present nor disregard them in the future. ... We certainly think that if God ever direct our hearts to consideration of marriage we shall never accept or choose any absent husband how powerful and wealthy a Prince soever. But that we are not to give you an answer until we have seen your person is so far from the thing itself that we never even considered such a thing. I have always given both to your brother ... and also to your ambassador likewise the same answer with scarcely any variation of the words, that we do not conceive in our heart to take a husband but highly commend this single life, and hope that your Serene Highness will no longer spend time in waiting for us.”
