It's okay if you grew up and realized you didn't want to get married. Or to have kids. Or even to be a woman, if you were assigned as such. It's alright, and you'll be fine!

Considering the rise of forced-birth, anti divorce extremists in this country, people really need to appreciate the no marriage no bio kids norms/values of the Jedi

Pregnant and Unmarried? In Tennessee, That’s Now Grounds for Denial of Care.

Tennessee's anti-abortion law allows doctors to deny treatment based on 'conscience.' Now an unmarried woman has been denied prenatal care.

If you deny prenatal care, people will die.

(Sending this to a handful of Christian blogs.) If a woman has felt repulsed by sex her whole life, and is frankly terrified of rape--if she is also rather sickly, perhaps having chronic pain or fatigue diseases, and does not feel she has the physical strength to bear children, raise them, or to do much housework--if said woman is a devout Christian, would like to be a babysitter for the children of other members of her household, and is willing to work and submit gracefully to the leadership of men--but she just cannot give herself sexually to a man, because of the physical and mental pain it would cause her, and she therefore remains unmarried and celibate--what is your opinion of her? And what do you believe should be her place in society, in a church, and in a family, especially as she ages out of childbearing years?

(Bonus, perhaps even harder question in conjunction with that last one: What if this woman has no siblings, and/or her married siblings are not willing to take her in?)

(Further question: do you believe it is possible for a non-blood-relative man to become such a close friend to this woman he could love her like a brother, as she would no doubt wish, instead of constantly desiring sex from her?)

The willpower I just had to exert to resist answering this sarcastically with the most over-the-top sexist answer I could think of...

Anyway, my opinion is irrelevant to what is right and good - meaningless next to God's opinion - so to answer pretty much all of these questions, let's turn to the Bible. That's always a good shout:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:6-7]

for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. [2 Timothy 1:7]

I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one person has this gift, another has that. I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire. [1 Corinthians 7:7-9]

The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband. [1 Corinthians 7:34]

Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. [1 Timothy 5:1-2]

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. [1 Timothy 5:8]

If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. [Leviticus 25:35-36]

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. [Proverbs 19:17]

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; [1 Thessalonians 4:3-5]

Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. [1 Thessalonians 4:9-12]

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time. [Proverbs 17:17]
