5. David from Ireland “I live alone and it’s f***ing brilliant. No nagging battle-ax to shower with gifts or money. I’m 23 and only plan to lose my freedom (get hitched) at 43.”

6. “Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.” Christina Aguilera

7. ‘Hiding’ online “I’ve been married for ten years. I pray for death every day. Either mine or hers. Has to be better than this hell I live in.”

11. 1 Cor 7 1 Replying now to your question: ‘Is it good to avoid sexual relations?’ 2 Since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty

12. to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to

13. his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your

14. lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all were single as I am. But each has his own gift from God; 8 Now to the unmarried and the

15. widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

16. 27 Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned. But those who marry face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you that.

17. 29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not;

18. those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. 32 I would like you to be free

19. from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife

20. — 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the

21. affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. 39 A woman is bound

22. to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40 However, in my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is.
