A Woman's Worth 
You need to find a husband," my stylist announced, briskly clipping my curls.
Ignoring my silence, Janet (not her real name) bubbled about an eligible male customer of hers who was "just right" for me. There was a time when such comments about my single state would rub me raw.
To Janet and the others who meddled in my personal life, a woman my age should be in the happily-ever-after set—not still ...

thank you for reminding me that God made each of us unique, and that true fulfillment comes from walking in the plan He designed for just me. Your story also reminded me that the relationship that is of eternal significance is the one we cultivate with HIM...

Thanks for sharing this. It affirms what the Lord told me when I was battling childlessness. He told me that we can be childless and yet be mothers of many. The family of God is what it is: a family. We all have a very important mothering role to play in all the lives of the children he brings to us, not matter how short the interaction time is.

Yes! Wonderful article! I would just like to point out that, just because a woman hasn't married by age 40, does not mean God does not have marriage as His plan for her life. Also, some women genuinely desire to be married, and it is a gift given to her by God. No one knows all the plans God has, but when a single woman expresses her desire to marry, please do not preach about how wonderful singleness is. Desiring marriage does not equate hating singleness or being discontented.
