Pride & Singleness ~ The Christian Relationship Blog

A lot of you are not single because you can't find anyone, but because you're too proud. You meet people, you date and you stay together for a while until... until... until they give you some feedback you don't like. That's when you decide they aren't for you. You two just aren't a match.

Being in a long-term relationship with anyone requires you to change - a lot - but the conventional wisdom these days is everybody should just take you the way you are. Right? God forbid you should have to mature, be selfless, consider other people, apologize when you're wrong or adjust your priorities!

Relationships require you to walk in a lot of humility and accommodation. Perhaps it is your unwillingness to bend that keeps you alone? Despite what all the Facebook graphics are telling you, rigidity is not a good thing.

Basically, if you don't have what you want in your life right now and find that you're never able to build anything that lasts, you probably need to change. Yes. YOU need to change.
