This is a Sucky Time to be Single
We are full swing into the Christmas season. I was having a conversation with someone a little while ago musing about the large numbers of commercials on TV promoting family and marriage and how these affect single people who are either eager to get married or who are depressed because they aren’t. Maybe you’ve seen the commercials. If not maybe these will help jog your memory…
I can’t imagine how difficult these commercials make the holiday season for those who are in a romantic relationship. Commercials like this do more to intensify the idolatry of love and romance more during this time of year than any other. The only other time I think could be worse is Valentines.
I’ve written posts in the past about singleness and have asked others to contribute to the conversation as well. So to encourage those who may be struggling with being single this season, hopefully these posts will give you (or someone you know) a little perspective. Please share these with others who may benefit. The authors will be grateful for your kindness.
