7 SENSATIONAL THINGS ABOUT BEING SINGLE!

7 SENSATIONAL THINGS ABOUT BEING SINGLE!
“I have learned to be content in whatsoever state I am in.”

I have a friend who’s almost smug about her marital status. She sees marriage as the equivalent of winning a beauty contest or cashing in on the lottery! She views single girls as getting the short end of the deal in terms of what life has to offer.
And she is not alone. 

As women, we’ve been conditioned and socialized to search for a mate, the white picket fence, and the happily ever after. But for those of us who have traveled far in life’s journey, we know that marriage isn’t always the picture of bliss that it’s painted to be!
Polls and studies even give marriage preferential status. But polls can sometimes be misleading. And some, believe it or not, have a bias depending upon the individual or organization conducting them. Which frankly is why I don’t always agree with their “findings.”
Particularly since, from my own “private poll”, my friends and I have never been surveyed!

Take, for instance, the ones that report that married people are categorically happier, healthier, and wealthier than their single peers.
Don’t believe the hype.
Truth be told, some of the loneliest people in the world are in fact married.

A friend of mine once shared how she suffered physical abuse from her husband for over a decade. You would never have guessed due to outer appearances. She spent many years feeling trapped, isolated, scared, and emotionally scarred. Some years down the line, she’s now single and celebrating!

Another lady I know hasn’t “slept” with her husband in many months, although they share the same bedroom. In the words of B.B. King “The thrill is gone.” They stay together for economic reasons, and for the kids.
