Wait, what, a Single's blog talking about the beauty of marriage? Absolutely! This is not an anti marriage, anti relationship space. Marriage is one of the most beautiful institutions created! Selective Singles is simply a space to find encouragement in wherever you find yourself in the journey of singleness. In your single season, you should be enjoying it to the fullest, instead of wondering why you're not boo-ed up. You can't enjoy your vacation in New York if you spend the entire time there wishing you were in Dubai! Likewise, how can you take pleasure in the joys of singleness if you spend your nights whining, wondering and wishing that someone will hurry up and marry you? Marriage is beautiful in so many ways and worth waiting and preparing for! As with anything in life, it doesn't come without challenges. One of the things that adds beauty to marriage, is knowing that the other accepts you and is willing to embrace you, flaws and all.
Your dreams and goals should not be put on hold until you find your person. If you want to travel, you should be traveling! My friend Zoe, as well as my nephew DeVante are wonderful examples of this, that is to be admired.
Of course, don't lose focus; you're not going on vacation to look for or find that person. The point is, you should't put things on hold... to experience life in it's fullness, because you're waiting. Your motivation should be to explore, enjoy, learn and expose yourself to other places, peoples and cultures! The marriage-minded can cultivate the desire for marriage by dedicating a portion of time to get creative. How? Perhaps writing letters to your future spouse, sealing it in an envelope and storing them in a nice box, to be opened on special occasions after you marry. Can you imagine receiving such a letter from someone you end up marrying? Visualize with me:
A week after you're a newlywed, you're sitting at a beautiful location with your husband. He slides an envelope across the table, with a smile on his face. You're glowing and obviously curious as you carefully open it. It reads; my beautiful bride, although we haven't met yet, I have dreamed of this moment. This is one of many love letters to come that I have written to you. I don't know where you are in the world, but I know I am getting closer each day to finding you. Others have become like dimly lit candles, making it easier to recognize you immediately, because your light will shine so brightly, I will be unable to look away! I have relived this very moment, as I bask in watching you getting a glimpse of my thoughts about you. Thank you for embracing the rejection of others, making it easier to say yes to me. I am ecstatic to do life with you my beautiful bride!
