30-Something : Unmarried

"Single"

I really don't like that word.

For me, it speaks of being alone.  All by myself.  

Google-searched adjectives: sole - unmarried - only - lone - individual - solitary.

From this group of words, I like the word "unmarried".  It sounds better.

As a disciple of Christ and my own background rooted in traditional Chinese culture, people are not meant to be alone.  I am not saying, men should be with women, vice versa, as in a married state.  In general, people are meant to have and build relationships with people.  Friends, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, cousins, grandparents, co-workers, neighbors.  Especially in the body of Christ, we are to be a family.  Not a corporation, like in a company or business.

Why am I writing

There are plenty, I say PLENTY, of blogs about 30-something, "unmarried", people.  Why am I starting another one?  The common denominator is that we seek to be understood.  We are of the generation where some of us have gone through college/university and/or have experienced a lot of things beyond our home areas, traveling to other parts of the country and traveling to other countries, seeing the world.  And then especially women (at least in the U.S.), we have more opportunities than ever to gain an education and start our careers.  We're waiting longer to get married, be married.  It's a frontier that most people have never been to before, in previous generations.

So, I hope that these series of blogs will serve its goal to enlighten and help the readers from a Christian perspective.
