Adam was totally single in the Garden of Eden. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created the Earth for man to manage. But first, man had to be a whole single individual. God gave him spirit. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. That is when he became a living soul.
There is a difference between being single and being unmarried (a big difference). Most unmarried people consider themselves to be single. Arlene and I are both single. It is our singleness that makes our marriage successful. The more single we become, the more our marriage improves. Now before I write any further, ask the Lord God to open your understanding. The average individual has never been single, even though they may be unmarried or divorced. Unmarried means to be without a spouse (so does divorce, in the legal sense) but being single means to be all (alone); separate, unique, and independently a whole individual. Many marriages fail because individuals get married before they are single. They latch onto a spouse, identifying themselves with someone else before they come to terms with their own identity--Knowing who they really are in the Lord God's Kingdom. They get married expecting marriage to make them whole (single). In other words, lacking a personal sense of completeness, they look to marriage to make them a whole person. Individuals who are truly single don't pursue marriage, they are whole and complete without it. Unmarried people who aren't single (whole) can't wait to get married. They think about it all the time, they dream about it talk about it, they are always running after somebody to marry them. Those who don't want to get married, just want their sexual desires fulfilled through the lust of the flesh. A truly single individual does not even have a desire for marriage. Now Adam, who was the first human being was single, but was also unmarried. In his single and whole state, he not only had no interest in marriage, he did not even know about marriage. There was no laws concerning marriage, just obedience to God's Word. As the Lord God had created him, Adam was complete and fulfilled within himself and his relationship with the Lord God. He had no knowledge that he needed anybody else. His whole fulfilled singleness was the foundation that God laid for the entire human race. Singleness, therefore, is the fundamental building block for all human relationships.
I pray that the Lord God has opened your understanding to who you truly are.
