freedom, no boundaries, financial matter, sexual needs, loneliness, responsibilities,

and etc. They remain single for personal preference.

in remaining single for five years in their ministry because of “Age” standard and

“financial issue.”

The single life is often portrayed as being fun and carefree, but there are

monetary, social and workplace disadvantages as well. The single life offers a degree

of independence and freedom from the need to compromise with another person.

However, being single means having to carry the burden of a household alone,

without a partner to help.

When the respondents asked about the advantages and dis-advantages of being

single. The participants enumerated some of the obvious; “Freedom, lesser expenses,

and easy decisions making.” Meanwhile, singles have the freedom to do everything,

In fact, being single can be a huge advantage,” when you're single, you never have to

clear ideas with a second person and you never have to compromise. This makes

decisions a lot simpler and allows for extra savings opportunities.” You're also not

responsible for anyone else's doubt or even their wants.

Getting married comes with an invisible thread that requires you to be bound

to some sort of commitment. It is not tangible but it's there. You get a feeling of being

trapped and this is what that makes a marriage complicated these are the top 3

answers enumerated by the respondents the fears of responsibility, financial issues

and emotional and attitudes conflicts.

In every relational status of life comes with both advantage and dis-advantage.

Actually, the challenges of life are blessing. So, embrace the pains, experience and

enjoy the benefits of life offers. Embrace the abundant life Christ offer in our life that

is available in our singleness and even in marital status.

The bottom line is, be thankful, be positive , let God shape our expectations in

life and It is fulfilling God’s will in our life comes the true source of happiness. He is
 CONCLUSIONS 38

the source of our total satisfaction in life. Life is not about us, it is about giving Glory

to God.

Hoping that all single Pastors will be encourage and motivated in life, and let

God shaped us into His Purpose.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
