I read a
quote recently from Carolyn Hax, an advice columnist I read frequently,
that made me stop and think. Although her advice doesn't come from a
Christian perspective, she has a lot of common sense.
Here's an excerpt from a recent advice column:
|
|
"Is
there any element of your life that's based on the assumption that you'd
someday be married? … the signs that you're waiting for your life to come
find you aren't always obvious, like living with your parents. It can be
your savings strategy, your hobbies, your neighborhood, your hangouts,
your eating habits, your choice |
|
of
friends, your behavior on dates, your travel plans, your taste in clothing
or music or art, your willingness even to buy art. … If you identify any
part of your life that's in limbo because you're single, try knocking it
back out again. Make the choices you'd make if this were it, your life, no
one but you calling shots." |
