Celibacy according to the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary means : the state of not being married or abstention from sexual intercourse. Why would people decide to practice celibacy? For some they are forced into it, because they have found themselves without proper companionship. For some it is a choice, because they have been hurt too many times. Another alternative, because they believe that alone time gives them more opportunities to love themselves, and build a closer relationship with God.
Relationship is important, but it must be that right relationship. People are fallible making mistakes that may cause others heartache, discomfort, or regrets. Relationship with God is that right relationship. You can trust where others misuse your trust. You have faith in him, where others have left you faithless.
Celibacy is one of those things people practice to gain perspective on their lives. Use that time to discover your joys, buttons, motivations, struggles, and dreams. Being by yourself is a necessary evil for some, but use it to your glory not your detriment.
