Many single Christians say “I can’t wait to receive the husband (or wife) God has for me”. Others will encourage singles by saying: “He (she) is coming, God is preparing you a good one.” These are nice words, that look very spiritual, but aren’t they completely selfish?

Some single people are so concerned with finding a partner that they get distracted during teachings in church. They hear what their pastors teach, but they don’t listen, which is unfortunate because the fruits of the Spirit are directly related to the way we listen.
