Singles and Friendship.
By Joy Stevens
Friends equal people.
Friends equal contact.
One step anyone can take toward marriage is to cultivate
friends.
How do friends help?
1. Friends make your life happier. Happy, cheerful people are
attractive to everyone--including the opposite sex.
2. Friends have friends. One of those friends of friends might be
your future spouse. I am not talking about making a friend to use them for
introductions. I'm referring to the natural process of a wider circle of
acquaintances through friendships.
Friendships do not happen in a vacuum. There is a certain chemistry
with friends just as in a love relationship. Therefore, contact with other people is the
first building block of friendship.

These are some of the legitimate
excuses singles use to remain isolated. However, let me repeat: People equal friends and
friends equal people. Regardless of the reason you are
not meeting people now, you will have to meet people to make a
friend.
After you meet a potential friend:
Once you have captured the attention of another
person or vice-versa, you must expand on that original attraction. This expansion includes
additional contacts and conversation.
Friendships are a building process. You and your friend gradually share
interests, feelings, and goals. Much of this is done by being together physically. Your
physical presence shows your friend that you care about him. It affirms that he/she is
important to you.
There is also risk
inherent in forming a friendship. The truth is that you can never be totally certain of
your friend's response. Eventually one person must take the risk of confiding in order for
a friendship to grow in intimacy.
Making friends is risky. So is marriage. Think of
making friends as practice for marriage, if you wish.

Twenty-Five Ways to Meet
Your Lover Meeting enough singles of the
opposite sex to find the person you desire involves a multi-faceted, proactive campaign.
Your campaign makes you easy to find.
Proactive,
Proactive, Proactive: Be an activist for YOU Many
singles who are proactive in their career and other aspects of their life, drop the ball
when it comes to love and dating. The best route to marriage involves being proactive in
your own behalf!
Life on Hold For some reason, an ailing parent, a career, children... you put your life
on hold for some other time. After mom is gone... After I get that promotion... After the
kids are grown... can be a whole lifetime alone or continually replaced by another
reason to leave your life on hold.
They Don't Meet: It is obvious that singles must meet before they can enter marriage or a
long-term relationship. How do singles meet? Let Chris tell you!
Poor Odds Maybe
you don't seek situations where your odds are good. Worse yet, you often find
yourself in situations where your odds are poor.
Don't Set Goals Goals help
you achieve your dreams in life. They are as applicable to meeting and dating as they are
to other parts of your life.
No Time for Love We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend that time depends, to a large degree,
upon how much importance we place on activities that consume that time.
Priority: Marriage or Long-Term
Relationship If your goal is marriage or
a long-term relationship, set priorities based on the value an item has to you rather than
urgency.
Friends
and Marriage One step anyone can take in the direction
of marriage is to cultivate friends.
