"The measure of your wholeness is the hurt you feel when someone doesn't approve of you. You're not ready for marriage yet. Wholeness means that you don't need anybody to make you feel like somebody. Whole people are dangerous -- because they don't need you to approve them, you can't manipulate them.
Are you there yet? You can always tell when you are totally single, here's the key: Singleness is manifested in no need to be married. If you don't NEED to be married, you are single. If you are desperate to get married, always seeking prospects, you are sick. You are not yet single. Proof? Adam was so completely single that God had to INTERRUPT him to get him married. Matter of fact, Adam never told God, 'I need a mate.' It was GOD who had to say, 'It is not good for this man to be alone.' You are only ready for marriage when you don't need to be. And there's the mystery of being totally single. Whole.
And by the way, when you become like that, you attract people to you. You attract people to you. Confidence, and focus, and vision, and clarity attract people to you."
