One of the first strategies of being happy and single is to stand firm in your truth that it’s possible. This is no easy feat. We’ve been inundated with searing images and language from the bible onward – even the Supreme Court has weighed in – and their message is clear, that marriage is the fundamental building block of adult life. I soundly reject that. It has taken me years of enormous soul searching to resist that reflection. But it’s worth it. I promise.
