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?

My most recent book promotion took me to Denver, Colorado where a few things happened. First of all, I coincidently went snowboarding on Copper mountain for a bachelor party.

Did you know that Mary was approximately four feet and eleven inches tall? She may be petite, but in the eyes of God, she is a decorated Four-Star General and a powerhouse of a saint. The Blessed Mother is my favorite saint, I admit it. This may be the first of many articles on her. […]

Recently, I sat at a table with several young adults who had gone to a local young adult ministry event advertised as a “dating talk”. I asked what the talk was about. “What to do before getting married,” was the reply. “Cool! What am I supposed to do?” I asked. “You shouldn’t live with the […]
