Singlehood is the quality to live a rich, fulfilling life as a single adult either you are alone, seeing for a partner, dating, or in a committed relationship. A person who has achieved it does not need to be in a association to be happy. They know that a person must be happy on their own in order to have a healthy relationship.
A person who has achieved it does not date or get into a association because of any personal weaknesses or covering pressures from parents, relatives, friends, clergy, employers, or any other custom in their community. They are not opposed to dating or being in a relationship, they just want to be free to choose when and if they date or begin a relationship. And if they do settle to begin either they will only do so with a person who they strongly feel is right for them. They strive for the best in themselves, in a partner, and in a relationship. If they settle to find a partner, they do so with great attempt and measurement knowing that this is one of the most foremost decisions of their life!
Singlehood is a level of maturity and self-awareness that transcends the old order of the couple's only society. Community has often assumed that it means aloneness or inferior relationships. This was sometimes true of the couple's only Community in the past where the few remaining unmarried individuals were often communal misfits. Today things are different. Because of many changes that I'll discuss next, singles can now choose when and if that want to marry. The corollary is a rapidly growing unmarried population, which in the United States is at 89.6 million or 50.3%, according to the 2006 U.S. Census.
