Relevant Magazine's article entitled Tales of a 25-year-old Virgin.
Christian Broadcasting Network's article about betrayal from the "Judas" in your life.
How We Waste Singleness, a great post from a recently married guy, posted on the Good Women Project blog, is one of my favorites.
Thoughts and advice for the single ladies on The Good Women Project: Don't Waste The Wait.
Boundless, an online magazine for college students and twenty-somethings, has an interesting article for guys on what is termed a "friendgirl." It's that girl you won't date but keep around. I love this quote: "Please understand that there is nothing that will 'stir up or awaken love' [Song of Solomon] in a woman's heart like emotional intimacy and spending time together." Date her already or stop awakening her love.
Someone once said "Refusing to work is laziness. Refusing to rest is disobedience." Here's a Relevant Magazine article on rest.
Preparing for Marriage While Single by Laura Ziesel
Singled Out by God for Good by Paige Benton Brown (get it... "singled"?)
I'm not ashamed to admit I go to counseling regularly during the school year. It's sometimes scary to be sitting across from someone you don't really know talking about your crap, but it's good. I appreciate this article from Her.meneutics by a woman and her husband who go to marriage counseling to prevent big issues before they start.
Why You Should Be More High Maintenance by Allison Vesterfelt has some interesting ideas about relationships that I often misunderstand. This would be good reread information for me when I start dating.
I LOVE this post on Good Women Project from a teacher in Liberia about how it's okay to not fit in to the the two different types of womanhood.
A beautiful post on singleness, from the Good Women Project is found here. The author writes: "If there’s work to be done in and through me, I trust Him to give me a partner in crime for it or use my freedom and independence to make it happen."
The Knower Who Stays is an amazing blog post that discusses the God who knows us and still stays with us.
You Don't Have to Date. Not dating right now does not mean you never will date. It just means you are putting your interests and affections in something else for a time or, maybe, for a lifetime. But you don't have to make that decision today. You don't have to date, even if everyone else is pressuring you to do it.
"Fall is the glorious and gracious annual reminder for us that you will not always be who you are today, that this too shall pass..." Dr. Woodworth's thoughts on Fall. Also, I love Dr. Woodworth's view on counseling, and I highly recommend this blog post about that.
An Introvert's view on Integrity, from Sarah K, who was serving in Southeast Asia.
Darrell Vesterfelt on the coping mechanisms we use to "fix" loneliness, but how nothing but good community will solve the issue.
So, what is prayer, really? Allison Vesterfelt's article on "When You Don't Have Time to Pray."
Someone once said "Refusing to work is laziness. Refusing to rest is disobedience." Here's a Relevant Magazine article on rest.

A 30-something-and-single blogger and musician nicknamed "The Sexy Celibate" wrote this blog post on loneliness at Christmastime. I think it's worth a good read anytime of year.
"Adventure in the Suburbs" is a beautiful and powerful post on a definition of adventure. Addie Zierman writes, "Africa. The inner city. The 'mission field.' -- the place you live is just a place, after all. There are dishes to do there, too."
God Didn't Make our Bodies Only for Sex: a woman's story on life at 33 and single. Great insights here.
Breaking Shame, Jonalyn's post on the Purity Culture.
It is easy to place the lies we heard from our parental figures onto what we think about God. Here is a post that expresses this truth in the idea of abuse.
What value should we place on sexuality? Read this article from Her.meneutics.
