7 Reasons Most Men Should NOT Pursue Singleness

Should men remain single? Or is it better for men to pursue a woman? For most Christian men, the Bible teaches us that we should pursue marriage and not intentionally pursue a life of singleness. This is in direct opposition to the MGTOW movement. Here are 7 reasons most Christian men should not intentionally pursue a life of singleness.

It’s not that I’m pursuing singleness it’s that I’ve been sent my way to singleness.

And the one reason that trumps them all: Modern women.

Even Paul said it's better to be single. That was back then. Imagine what he'd be saying now.

And Christian women are seldom better.

I didn’t choose the “single life” the “single life” choose me 🤷🏻‍♂️

As a Bible believing Christian who wants to serve Jesus - being a lifelong bachelor has been good for me. I am 60. I had a real conversion at 5. My experience of 55 years as a christian is - sorry guys - as a rule - most Christian women are the worst. The exceptions to this rule are very rare. My experienced guesstimate is 2% to 5% would make a good wife. The divorce rate in the church is more than among atheists. 80% of these divorces are filed by the woman. Where does the Bible say only a small amount of men are called to be single? Sorry Mark - It doesn't say only a small percentage are called to be single.. Both Jesus and Paul say that neither getting married or staying single are sins.

Struggling with this right now, I’ve seen so many of my fellows Christian’s marriages end in divorce and for some of the most shallow reasons. It’s not enough just to marry someone who says there a Christian but who is producing the fruits of the spirit.

UNLESS YOU DEMOLISH FEMINISM AND CHANGE FAMILY LAW, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. WE ARE NOT LIVING IN BIBLICAL TIMES

We need to teach our kids about Godly relationships as they become old enough to understand the teachings in the Bible. If you wait until puberty they will not be prepared for the temptations that will fall on them. But we also need to guard against giving them too much too soon.

I don’t want to be married anymore as an old man like I did when I was young. I can only see marriage as too much trouble for me and I’m not ready and never was ready and never will be ready. It’s out of the question for me.

Thank you for sharing. Having said that, there are a number of single Christian women who keep praying and wondering "God called me to be single", but in reality push men away (subconsciously).

[Richtaco]

Marriage is in a quagmire right now. Yes not all women will destroy their families but all women can destroy their families right now that’s the problem.
You need to discuss female nature. It’s been unleashed and it’s out of control.

[txlyons]

I can't speak for other men out there, but as for myself, I just never felt any urge or incentive to marry, and I absolutely do not want children. I'm not a player, I don't sleep around, I'm just a guy who prefers his peace & quiet. Ever since I was a little kid, I always preferred my solitude to the company of others. I've known a few women over the years, but relationships just aren't for me. I've been on my own for almost twenty years, and I am content. I wouldn't trade this lifestyle for anything. Marriage is an option, not an obligation. Many people, men and women, thrive living alone, and there's nothing wrong with that.

[breesty]

In conclusion, there has never once in history, been a single man who struggles with sexual desires, wishes to marry, put himself out there, is a godly man, pursues marriage for years, and dies single

[marvinwangwe]

I’m not pursuing singleness, it’s that singleness has been pursuing me.

[phoenix]

Impractical advice. There are legal realities than the pastor is just ignoring.

[michaeljameson]

What about guys with physical or intellectual disabilities? They could want to date and be married but don’t have that capability.

[nicholaswheeler]

Paul was single, and so was Jesus, so singleness is fine. Don't shun singleness unless it is sinful. Is it sinful? No.

[Andolf_Tateler_OGISM]

But Jesus was single. Also Christian bishop men are all single.

Bro, I intentionally watched this video all the way through. I think God's word is applied here. This video nailed it, and the truth was spoken in love. Your point about Paul quoting the Corinthians and then adding, "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband." That is spot on. Keep up the excellent work, and stand firm in the Lord.

[ashleybaltz]

I love how you mentioned that there has always been non believers in all human history. Cause I hear so many of my elderly authorities saying there was much more respect in their times & I have to remind them that social media didn’t even exist in their times, so the only way to hear disrespectful comments or see disrespectful actions was when you interacted in person or talked on the phone. Nowadays you can stream on the internet and see disrespect all day long.

I've been single for ten years, I'm 42 years old. I have an 11 year old Son. I feel like the single life is meant for me. I'm happy and my mental well being is the best it has ever been. Total self reliance is my gift. I will never say never to coming together with a female partner in the future. But I'm totally at peace and happy. God has blessed me for me to be where I am in life. Much love and many blessings to you.
