Relationships

Nothing says "single woman in her 30s" like being flooded with "here's how I found my husband in 12 months and you can too" content on social media. I've seen it all as someone who's walked through 13 years of singleness. The "wife schools" are coaching programs tailored to successful Christian women, the polished reels that prey on our desire for love and companionship.

Let’s just be real: there’s this running message in and outside the church that says abstinence is only for a particular “type” of Christian. You know, the super spiritual ones. The ones who don’t struggle. The ones who aren’t dating. Or the ones who are “called to singleness forever.” Somehow, we’ve watered down abstinence to a suggestion, instead of seeing it as what it is, a call to holiness.

Despite the prevalent stigma surrounding mental health in many communities, seeking therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience, especially for Black couples navigating the challenges unique to their lived experiences.
