TL;DRAbstract
Singles are people with special problems and needs -particularly when they are involuntary singles and would prefer to live in a partner relationship.Many singles suffer with their condition as a single, and their problems can be manifold: loneliness, unsatisfied sexual desires, feelings of low self-worth, missing parenthood, emptiness and listlessness.These problems present the pastoral carer with an important task: How can these suffering singles be helped?My poimenics orientated approach is to raise the question regarding the call to singleness (1 Corinthians 7:17).When singles no longer consider their life as a failed existence, but rather as a state to which they have been called by God, perhaps that would help them have a more positive attitude to life, and to lead a satisfying life.
