The church is filled with Christians who are single, married, or in the awkward middle. We were created for relationships, for community. No one thrives in isolation. And you and I need wisdom to navigate relationships well — whether you find yourself married or not.
Over the years, I’ve noticed in the Christian blogosphere that the articles on relationships get a lot of attention. Why? I think this is a sign. A sign that we’re curious — eager, even — to not mess up. We all want relationships, and we want to do them well.
So where should you go?
Maybe this list will help. I’ve surveyed some of the most popular Christian sites, and I collected a bunch of articles on singleness, dating, and marriage. This list is by no means exhaustive, but should provide a good start to find helpful articles. So find where you fit in, and read along — and then pass this to a friend.
