Rushing into committed relationships too soon can be risky, Gordon Monson writes, but tying the knot and having children can be rewarding, and lead to further development and fulfillment. In the end, it’s a leap of faith.
There are circumstances that surround some single individuals, both women and men, that make it difficult for them to find any suitable spouse in this earthly existence. The unbalanced equation becomes a question: Should single Latter-day Saints “settle” for a partner who is five notches below what they are hoping and looking for just to shoehorn themselves into an expected church comfort zone?
Singles can be made to feel as though they’re in a state of “arrested development,” Finlayson-Fife says. But church membership numbers indicate that there are faithful women and men who won’t find a mate. Many of them are left to experience not just loneliness but also a feeling that they have failed or stalled spiritually, especially when leaders encourage them to get on with it.
Marriage, whatever it looks like, at whatever age it is found, can be a sweet, rewarding deal for those fortunate enough to have found that partnership. I count myself as exactly that. Lucky in every way.
