Surviving the Pressure of Being Single in Africa

Being single can either be a blessing or a curse. Singleness can be a blessing because it allows people to have more independence and freedom than married people. However, this comes with a certain amount of pressure in the form of expectations and, at times, even more responsibilities. Singleness, like all of God's benefits, can be abused, exploited, and even idolized. As Christians, how we comport ourselves as singles is really important. Despite its particular challenges, singleness does not imply deficiency or incompleteness.
