I am a NICU nurse and I work night shift and when I am in the middle of my stretch I find I can only manage to go to work and sleep. Well, I have been single for the last twenty six years. I also happen to be twenty six years old. Although, my best friend says I cant claim the first sixteen years since I wouldn’t have been old enough to date then any ways. So if I go… Read more »

  Here on Joy Because Grace, we’ve discussed praying for our future husbands quite a bit. We’ve discussed why it’s important, ways we can pray for them, and what we can pray for them. I’ve even created a “Praying for Your Future Husband eGuide” you can grab for free. However, we haven’t really discussed the personal benefits of praying for a man we’ve never met. Now, I’m not saying here that the only reason we should be praying for our… Read more »

Last year I rounded up my favorite singleness/dating videos by Blimey cow and compiled them into a blog post for your viewing convenience. Since then, they have made more hysterically funny videos on this topic, and so I just had to share them with you! :) Some background though, in case you don’t know who Blimey Cow is. Blimey Cow is composed of two Christian brothers who are now somewhere in their twenties (Josh and Jordan), Josh’s wife, and some… Read more »

A few months ago a reader emailed me and asked if I could write a blog post about what it means to give your heart to a guy.

“By the way could you do a blog on what it means to give your heart to a guy? I’m not sure I understand what it all means. Because can’t you give your heart just by your evil thoughts?”
Quite frankly, this question stumped me. Which is why the blog post she requested is just now being published– I had to think about this some!

Hello!!! I’m Diana. I’m a 30 year old girl from South Florida. I work in sales and for fun I like all things creative. I love journaling, writing letters, and making jewelry. What’s your singleness story? My singleness story is so tied to my salvation story that they go hand in hand. Before I knew Christ I was always seeking approval and love from other people. This was especially true in my dating life. If I felt unloved or rejected… Read more »

There seems to be this misconception that if you don’t have a significant other you can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day and that Valentine’s Day has to be miserable if you’re single.
Lies.
Today, we are going to discuss how we can have an AMAZING Valentine’s Day, even if we are single.

My name is Lauren and I’m 23 years old from South Africa. I am currently employed as a banker and financial advisor. I am an avid reader, addicted to Google (I google EVERYTHING), and I am generally a home body. Me time is the best time! What’s your singleness story? I started dating very late compared to my peers. I had my first actual boyfriend at 18 once I finished high school. I was generally very scared to start dating… Read more »

Last year around Valentine’s Day, I surveyed about 50 singles (not married- so single or dating) about how they viewed singleness, the pros and cons of singleness, among other things. And now, it’s time for this year’s singleness survey!! So if you are single (meaning NOT married), I would love it if you could fill out this brief survey. Thank you so much! (If the form below doesn’t work, you can access the singleness survey here.) Loading… Thank you so… Read more »

I asked the married women who are a part of The Peony Project, “If you could give a single Christian sister any advice about her single years, what would it be?” and was blown away by their responses. More than 25 women responded with great tidbits for us. Since so many women responded, I must warn you now. This is not a good post for skimming. However, this is a great post to sit down on the couch to read,… Read more »
