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.
You probably don’t want to hear this, but being a Catholic single can be really great! Not because you’re not tied down yet and can do whatever you want. Although you can, I suppose. Instead, the time you spend single is a unique time in your life where you can learn and grow in ways that […]
Has your definition of love changed over the years? I know mine has. As a little girl and even into young adulthood (embarrassingly enough!), I had the most backwards ideas about what love is and what it means to be loved by another person. I was swept up into the promises of happily ever after […]
What if I told you the book I think every Catholic single should read isn’t even written by a Catholic, but a Jewish marriage therapist? Some of you may think I was crazy. Meanwhile, some of you may be intrigued to understand my reasons. I’m single now, but I was previously married. As I healed […]
I don’t know about you but I love to read. There are few things as cozy and relaxing to me as curling up on a lazy Saturday with a mug of coffee and a good book. I love reading so much I have had a goal the last few years to read 100 books in […]
It’s never easy to know what to do with yourself after a breakup. You may be confused as to why your relationship ended. Or maybe you want to start the healing process, but don’t know where to begin. You’re sorting through negative emotions, and may find yourself reaching for self-help books to sort things out. […]
While in many ways the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, for Catholic Singles it can feel lonely, isolating, and just plain frustrating. Christmas, New Year’s, and the ever approaching celebration of Valentine’s Day can leave single people with a sense of urgency to get out there and find that special […]
I first decided that I wanted to be a priest when I was five years old. At that stage, priests just seemed cool. My reasons for wanting the vocation and the things that attracted me to it changed and grew over time, but the desire was always there. At the end of high school, I […]
wNow that Christmas is over, it’s that time of year where we’re all bombarded with ads for gym memberships and diet plans. Most of us are gearing up to make resolutions for our new year. New Year’s can be a great time to look back on our year and reflect on what we will do […]
It is a brand new decade! Maybe 2020 finds you hopeful and excited with all the new possibilities a new year and decade can hold for you. But maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even resentful of where your current reality finds you. Regardless of your relationship status (or lack thereof) as you head into […]
When you think about the story of the birth of Christ, the first people to come to mind are the main characters of the story. Maybe you think of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, or the wise men. Of course, Jesus gets top billing! But there were a lot more people that God used to tell […]
