The Gift of Singleness
Not everyone gets married. And
not all married couples choose to have children. Jesus was single. And he spoke
of singleness as a gift when it is “on account of the kingdom of the heavens.”
(Matthew 19:11,12) The apostle Paul also chose not to get married. He spoke of
both the single and the married state as ‘gifts.’ (1 Corinthians 7:7,8; 25-28)
Hence, while this book has for the most part discussed matters having to do
with marriage and the raising of children, we should not lose sight of the
potential blessings and rewards of remaining single or of being married but childless
