Being Single
Being single is often associated with being lonely or just waiting for that next step of your life. But at Catholic Singles, we think the single life is a time for you to thrive and grow closer in your relationship with God. These posts are some of our thoughts and thoughts of our members on the single life in today’s world as a Catholic.
Let’s face it: many of us are waiting for that long term relationship that will lead to marriage. But what are we doing today to prepare for our future partner? The single life shouldn’t be a period of just waiting until you are in a relationship. It should be a time where you spend time preparing yourself for your future partner.
