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.
Third in a series of posts, first found here and here. Growing up, my family and I had a lot of family dinners, and a lot of times where we would spontaneously end up talking and laughing about random things for quite a while. Over the years, I grew to really appreciate these unplanned yack-sessions of […]
How many times have we searched the internet, library shelves, and bookstores, for the perfect books to dive into during a time of singleness? We’ve searched the self-help section, the fiction shelves, and perhaps we’ve even wandered over into the romance section just looking for a good love story. If you’ve spent longer than you […]
As an adult, your mental health affects how you think, act, speak, and behave in your day to day life. It also influences how you handle stress, face challenges, and restore balance to your life after difficult situations.

All Catholic singles have experienced the moment when a well-intentioned friend makes a comment about our lack of relationship. But despite their attempts at encouragement and offering hope, their comments often fall flat. If you are no longer single, it’s important to realize how your words can translate when you’re spending time with your single […]
During my time as a single young woman in college, I was blessed with some incredible friendships. I met friends through classes, activities at my campus center, and volunteer opportunities. We bonded over our faith, shared activities, and weekend trips. But there were some friends who were invaluable when it came to encouraging me as […]

Just as we start to get back into the swing of ordinary time after the Advent and Christmas seasons are over——oh wait, it’s Lent already. Time to up our spiritual game once again and try to get back to a place of giving more time and attention to God and to what He’s trying to […]
As early as my preteen years, I remember thinking of Valentine’s Day as this big romantic event and feeling more than a little sad that I had no romantic possibilities on the horizon. I may have only been a kid, but I certainly recognized that everyone from TV characters to nearby grocery stores was making […]
Is it just me, or do most people’s online lives look pretty darn marvelous? I’ve never been a huge user of social media, but when I do hop on to Instagram or often even Facebook, I tend to see that my “friends” are posting a lot of perfectly posed and arranged pictures of things like […]
We live in a culture obsessed with physical appearance. But the truth is that we can’t all be supermodels, and many of us are less than satisfied with our looks.
