Kristin’s Reviews > Getting Serious About Getting Married: Rethinking the Gift of Singleness > Status Update

I'm interested to hear what you think of this book. I just read the summary and it sounds kind of awful to me. Completely invalidating of Christian singles who are not actively trying to be single. Interested to hear if the full message is different. ☺️

Um. So, I finished it the other day and I think it made some good points. I think that the church today really struggles with what to do with singles. They basically tell you to wait on the Lord and He will bring you a man. Or that you need to work on your relationship with God and make that perfect before you will get a man. I personally think this is a load of crap because waiting around isn't going to get you anywhere. She talks about this a lot. We were made for marriage and the percentage of people who are really supposed to be single for the rest of their lives is really small. Some of her suggestions are old-school and I don't think they will really work in today's society, however, I do agree with her that we need to be active in our search and intentional about what we want in a relationship and to talk about it with potential dates. Overall, an interesting read but I'm not sure what to take away from it.
