I found the article ‘Single for a Reason: 8 lies we tell unmarried women’ helpful. I agree with you that it’s a good guide on what not to say, but it may be an even better guide on what not to think. After all, it’s from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks, and so well-meaning people say these kinds of things because that’s what they believe. This adds to the pain of unwanted singleness because we know that’s what many (if not most) people believe about us, even if they know better than to say it to our faces. However, as single women we do need to ask the Lord for grace to receive or overlook, (or forgive!) the things people say to us, or think about us, which may cause us pain.
