Is singleness a problem?

As a single christian women, I am constantly being told that "some day god will put a boy in my life who will be my husband". Now that's all very well saying that as it's a comfort that you won't be forever alone. But, that's so dangerous! We need to stop seeing singleness as a problem to be solved and start seeing it as a blessing that is. (Still working on that myself.) Did Jesus need a significant other to complete him? Absolutely not. I believe that god puts us in situations for a reason and If a boy is stopping me from having a relationship with god- then surely it's best I'm single for that time being? I am in no way saying that relationships stop you from being a christian, as I know many couples who serve god together and have created something beautiful. However we do need to start seeing singleness in the same way. We need to start seeing them as different lifestyles and preferences, not as singleness being a step down from marriage.
