Deep dives

The Reality of Christian Single Men

Many believe that the church lacks Christian single men, but the reality is that while there may be a noticeable presence of men, they often exhibit emotional immaturity. Young adult males are seen as taking longer to grow up, largely due to societal shifts and increased living costs, with around 50% now living with their parents compared to just 8% in the 1960s. This delay in maturation leaves women feeling frustrated as they desire partnership with men who are ready and willing to commit to marriage. Moreover, men are hesitant to date within the church out of fear of ruining their community if relationships do not work out, leaving many feeling isolated in their desire for connection.
