Is there anything good about being single?


I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.  I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:32-35
            Yes and Paul said that one’s focus as a single is better because their heart can be undivided, better able to serve the Lord in many capacities.  Marriage is work and requires time and priorities.  Family is the greatest purpose one can devote to in this world.
            However, if a person has no wife or kids they can devote themselves to an even greater purpose—serving God.
