so few churches acknowledge singles in light of 1 Corinthians 7: 6-9 is this an oversight?

To many "innocent" eyes will be blinded by the Light of liberty when it is ultimately revealed. Both in this age and the age to come with greater and greater celebration and fearful self-reflection. The mirror that is the Word. Will accurately reveal Christ in anyone who looks "into" it. They wont see... gender divisions as "real" differences but as utilitarian in order and wholly unreliable at understanding its own spirit inhabitant and others. lol

When?

One by one. I think I am last. Would love to add to a real converts experience. My own has proven to only open more vistas than one lifetime...possibly fix and discover. His words are lively and in the light of new understanding, the old "devotions" speak anew to me. So some are touched and some read with a hunger to experience and it drives them from their country. He awaits all who dare to seek. He quenches all thirsty from wanton desire. He satisfies all living beings with himself. Sustaining them without bread or water but with His will. His will to be light is what causes light to continue unhindered. His will to subject another element to vanity in hope of this greater reward for his only begotten is righteous and those elements have declared as much.

Let his people go... they will find him on the Way. :)

speculation

there is a lot of Talk in the new testament about fellowship and this could be the very reason that it seems like a lot of churches cater to couples rather than singles. no one wants to be lonely, and everyone wants to be closer to God.

but really I think that you may be mistaking fellowship between members of the Church for the relationship between a couple. Members of the Church all have a Relationship with each other linked by God, so does a Couple, but in a different way. a single person is part of the Church Fellowship the same way that a couple is part of the church fellowship.

I don't know what Church that you go to, but I have never had the feeling that any church I have gone to catered to Couples over Singles. there are a lot of places where the relationship between members of the church and Jesus and God have been compared to that of a Family, but any member, even if they are not married, is still a member of that Family.

I suggest to you that if you feel the messages in your church are being geared toward Couples that you talk to your minister/preacher/pastor and talk to him/her about it, I don't think that they are intentionally trying to make singles feel out of place, and just bringing it up may help them to see from a singles point of view when they are preparing their messages.

Churches/Pastors should never discriminate or cater to any specific group. This is especially true with a group that appears to be elevated in the heart of God.

The Bible speaks of a group, yes those that Paul identifies with:

1 Corinthians 7:7,8 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I

How amazing that this group would be shunned as less significant. It does not appear that this was always so.

Isaiah 56:4,5 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off

Jesus speaks to this same group:

Matthew 19:11,12 …he said unto them, "All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb”.

Who are the eunuchs spoken of by Isaiah? Are they those to whom it is given, those born to live a celibate life? Are they those like Paul, unencumbered by a physical marriage, wholly united to Christ?

This group should be elevated, set apart, and sought out for their insight into the things of God.

We are in an age where "herd mentality" is very strong and unfortunately a celibate life in an age of hyper-sexuality is not likely going to be understood. Rest-assured, your Heavenly Father esteems those so born.
