Do you find yourself getting involved with people you have no intention of marrying just to “fill the gap” and have someone to go on dates with? Do you have issues with jealousy? Are you insecure? Do you fall in love with every person who smiles at you or shows him/ herself to be friendly? Are you desperate? Yes? Maybe it’s time to look within and deal with these things rather than looking for a relationship.

LOVE

There’s so much more to relationships than what I’ve mentioned in this article but when I think about relationships and the reason for my being single these are a few of the things that come to mind. Rather than day dreaming about the perfect wedding day or the trophy wife, I’d love to encourage my friends, colleagues and any single person reading this to look within and prepare for what God has in store for them and before jumping into a relationship, ask themselves the question… “Am I ready for love?”
