since im a single lady hehehe since birth, i have something to share": If a Christian remains single does it mean that he or she has missed God's plan? For some people, marriage does not seem to be God's plan. God gives some the gift of a husband or a wife, and others He gives the gift of being able to stay happily unmarried. 1 Corinthians 7:7 LB.............hey,guyss do you agree with this?..il be expecting comments and reactions! thank you... GOD BLESS

Hello beautax Maybe it is not yet the time for you to be in a relation , be patient maybe you will have the best relationship ever. It is not that you are following or not following God's plan , it is just that you didn't meet your mr.right. have a good time

First off God has a plan for you! Something is telling me travel. The reason I say this is because he wants you to be able to do this. With out baggage! The only way you can really find out is simply ask him and be patient. He will revel to you in away that will be unmistakable. And it will be confirmed to you. So you wont have any doubts.

As far as I know there are three paths for us to go. One is being married, next is being single all your life (old maid) and the last one is being with god as a nun or priest. Whatever path you take we don't miss any god's plan.

Your last path that you mentioned is pretty much limited to the Catholic denomination of Christianity... after all you don't see Baptist, Methodist, or Prodestant nuns and fathers running around.

being single is not mean that you missed God's plan. that is the God's plan for you to being single forever and aside from that all people in this earth has a purpose why we are here. all you need to do is just enjoy your life.

to be single, to be in a relationship, to be married... all of these are gifts from God. You should accept these in open arms and just trust Him. Now if you're wondering why you are single and no love has come to visit, just be patient. Maybe God has a grander plan for you.. Church told us also that from the time we were conceived, mold in our mother's womb, God already has a plan for us. Regarding to the failed relationships, it is also part of God's plan. Wounds and callus are painful but these will make you stronger and keep you immune to anything... I hope I still make sense... hehe:)

there is a gift called "a gift of celibacy", being single for the rest of your life. God will give you the satisfaction and peace (that is beyond understanding) if that is His will for you. I married late and even before then it never occured to me that i will be single forever because He revealed to me that i will be married (hope it dont sounds weird but its true), that gave me the opportunity to used up my remaining single days to work hard for Gods ministry since i dont have the responsibility yet (no husband or kids to tend to), and its all wort it. But getting married doesnt end your ministry, you are just limited on the things you wanna do for God like if you are a missionary who need to travel you cannot just leave your family (because theyre part of your ministry too). And you cannot please God if you neglect your responsibility to your family.

hmm well we all have different purpose in life why were alive..being single forever does not mean that you miss God's plan..maybe if you stay single forever,God has another purpose in you in which i think you must look for??and dont worry your not the only one who's been single since birth..cause we share the same sentiment too!!wehehe..but i know that God already have a plan for me and ill just wait and put my faith in Him..so cheer up ok..God bless you..

Paul pretty much outlines in I Cor. that God has not created someone for everyone. This pretty much definatively dispells the myth of, "There's someone out there for everyone." God does not say that you will be "happy" in either case. The fact that it's a gift from God does not nessiceraly mean that you are going to be "happy" in either case (single or married). You can be just as miserable married as you can single.
