Avoid divorce. The story of how thirty or more couples from my parents' church singles'groups avoided divorce, and collectively enjoyed a millenium of happy marriage. Many church singles groups from many denominations have perfect or almost perfect records.
Avoid harassment suits. Office romances produce stronger than average marriages, but they are dangerous to your career. Religious singles' groups produce even stronger marriages and avoid the dangers of office romance.
Religious singles' groups can encourage marriage within the faith without encouraging intolerance of other faiths.
An alternative to arranged marriage. Like office romance, the traditional arranged marriage may have a better record than the typical American marriage, but the Christian singles' group can do even better than the traditional arranged marriage.
By encouraging strong marriages and preventing divorce religious singles' groups can reduce poverty.
Three studies have shown that the adult faith of children is largely determined by fathers. Still another reason for women to seek men at church singles' groups.
Catholic singles' groups are often unbalanced, mostly men or women, this is a page on what to do about it as a group and an individual.
Tips on encouraging clergy support for church singles' groups. For example, when people marry within the faith they will give a lot more.
Young people do want to avoid the plague of divorce. I have found that my parents' story is an effective way to evangelize singles, or at least encourage them to go to church.
Perhaps a radical idea. Why not have a singles group for people who actually want to follow Catholic teaching on birth control. I have done a little work on this idea, read the results, if the idea interests you.
Here are some thoughts on relationships based on the sad experience of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.
Dear Friend, One thousand and one thanks for your informative write up. I am hoping to start a group in NYC this new year for single Catholics. Peace!
I hope I can inspire more people to start groups, or otherwise encourage the movement.
Please link to whatever page you think will be useful so we can encourage more singles to go to singles groups, start singles groups, and also so we can encouage parents to bug their grown up children to attend singles groups.
Parents don't wait until the kids are grown to tell them about church singles groups. Get them thinking about these groups earlier, it will make it easier for them to wait until marriage.
If you have a message or question for me here is my contact information. Warning, I do not know much about specific singles groups, so I will not be able to find one for you.
Tell me what you think. Here is my contact information..
