5 Ways Being Single Matters for Your Marriage

5) Thankfulness

Every season and circumstance in life has challenges. There is no finish life to struggle or confusion. We are just trading one set of concerns for another.

Your singleness matters. Again, not just in preparation for marriage. It matters in and of itself.

Appreciating the season you are in will help set you up to appreciate all seasons. Most people do it the other way. They complain about being single and then complain about their spouse and then complain about their kids. They do not realize they have developed a pattern of negativity and have adopted a victim mentality about their season(s) of life.

You can end that today. And you should. You matter. Where you are and what you are doing matters. If you cannot be convinced of that in the season you are in, no seasonal shift or change in situation will be able to convince you of it in a sustainable way. Thankfulness is an internal issue.
