The Scarlet Letter: Christianity and Singleness... →
Very interesting article about, well, the title pretty much sums it up.
With that said, he also has another article that says if you’re single on valentine’s day, the last thing God wants you to do is be mopey.

If it does not, we have missed one of the most basic principles that Jesus taught His disciples. Visible and unifying love toward one another is not an option for the worldwide church. It is a command.”
