This is such a good read. My key takeaway as a single woman is to love myself and actively put in the work required to become all God intended for me. Also, to start building the skills that marriage demands by reading books from trusted authors.

Thank you so much.

What are three things you’d suggest a single person start learning how to do in their singlehood?

Too many nuggets! I find myself coming back to this series over and over again!

Key takeaway for me came at the end: "So stop waiting and start working.

Because love isn’t just about who you marry. It’s about who you become."

Not just always about finding the one, but becoming the one and joining yourself with the Ultimate ONE above all (Jesus Christ). Marriage is the process and another very effective tool to make us more like Him.

This was a delight to read. You put into words well the path of destruction to a marriage getting exhausted. I’m so glad you and your wife. Made it. I left my first husband because I was young and selfish. I was not willing to start over and rather start over with someone who had those skills going into a new marriage. The communication skills, willingness to listen and change, willingness to grow and let conflict grow us closer. Someone willing to love God but do the work. I don’t regret my choice. But I love when people who had my situation stay. It’s inspiring because I know that’s what the Lord would prefer.
