If you don’t glean anything else from this chapter, even this book, I hope this sinks straight into your soul: singleness is not simply a season to be weathered, a waiting room, or a holding cell. It’s not temporal by design, and it doesn’t exist only to usher you into something greater. Singleness is a valid life stage, one in which you can experience as much joy, spiritual growth, and fulfillment as any married person.
