A conversation Soooooo needed
This is a topic sooo needed to have more attention. Keep this up. More discussions are needed. Excellent! I’m 70 years old, a convert at 17 years of age (yes back in 1971 so I guess I’m officially old ☺️), served a mission at 35 (before which church policy prevented my attending the temple as a single woman) AND have never married. I have experienced the isolation, some invisibility, and ward members insensitivity towards singleness. But have also felt the love within so many wards where I have been called to serve in callings as a less traditional servant (such as a young Women’s leader and as a Relief society president in a family ward). I love the idea of having adventures by those that may not be in traditional circumstances. In fact I’m currently on a cross country road trip to do on-site genealogy research leaving from Oregon to drive to Kentucky and the Carolinas. A friend of mine sent me the link to these podcasts. I’m reviewing this from a rest area in Wyoming. There are some issues I’d love to hear about including; aging or the elderly as active singles; how to help singles feel the spirit of the Lord who feel excluded (and have left the church because of it); how to feel more included in a married ward once you are past 40 and are single without children); how to help families in family wards understand the single journey without assuming you are somehow less than because of it. Thank you for taking on this challenge.

Wow, having been single for 15 of my 19 years as an adult, and an active member of the LDS church, these conversations were so core to how I navigated my relationship to God, self-worth, meaning, and contribution. Even now as a married woman, I’m relating so much to...Read full review »
