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.
Are you struggling with the uncertainty of your vocation? One of the perhaps unexpected struggles that faithful single Catholics often face is the inability to know for certain what God wants them to do with their lives. A lot of us tend to have the idea that, eventually, we will just know that God is […]
Are you reading this blog post as a divorced Catholic? I wish you and I could have a conversation in-person, sitting in a cozy coffee shop in the sunshine. Like you, I’ve gone through a divorce. While it was a choice I never imagined for my own life, it has become the most transformative and healing […]
When I was a little girl, I remember my mom telling me the story of how she met my dad. My parents were married when they were twenty-three and twenty-five, and I was born when my mom was twenty-five. Somehow growing up, I thought my life would turn out exactly like my mom’s. However, that […]
Online Catholic dating is broken. We’ll admit it—we’ve been part of the problem. Founded in 1997, Catholic Singles is the original Catholic online dating site. Today, we serve tens of thousands of single Catholic men and women. But after twenty-two years in the Catholic online dating industry, we’re upending our own business model—and the Catholic […]
I think all Catholic singles have struggled with confidence at one point or another. One of the most striking memories I have of this in my own life is when I was in seventh grade. The new girl to school, I wanted so badly to fit in. I had a difficult time making new friends […]
I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life so far, many of which came from the season when I was previously married. Looking back on that chapter in my life, I can see clearly my mistakes and the red flags I missed. After my annulment went through and I felt ready to begin dating again, […]
I don’t know about you but in my younger years I thought I knew everything there was to know about love and relationships. I knew what I wanted and I thought I could make it happen because of my own striving. When I look back to my twenties, I’m equally embarrassed and humbled at all […]
Years ago in high school, I was somewhat involved in our parish youth ministry program. Every spring we went on retreat to a beautiful Benedictine retreat center about an hour away, tucked far away off a dirt road. The weekend was equal parts prayer and faith sharing with time to relax and be outdoors. One […]
Being a Catholic single person, I have received a lot of free (and sometimes!) unwanted advice over the years. You are a catch, the right man will come along someday. Have you tried online dating? Check out the singles or young adult groups at church. That would be a great place to meet someone. Ask […]
Even though we’re in the middle of the Easter season, things probably feel pretty Lenten for you, still. Leading up to the Covid-19 outbreak, most of us were busy deciding what our Lenten sacrifices would be and excited to tackle them. No meat on Fridays? Check. A month without sweets? Sure thing.
