Pastor And Relationship Expert Says “It’s Time To Take A Stand For Singles”
Launches Unique Singles Relationship Coaching Program to Help Singles Create Their Next Great Relationship
(San Antonio, TX) – December 1, 2011) – Scott Simpson, Founder of “The Love Plan” says “Singles today, young or old, want the same thing as all people do: to love and be loved. The rules for dating and mating have changed, and if you are single up until now, it is likely you have discovered the new rules on your own through trial and error. As a result, singles are scared and confused, afraid of failure, rejection, commitment and unclear about how to create and succeed in a relationship. But singles are also ready and eager to learn how to be conscious and intentional about their choices so they can create the amazing relationship of their dreams. We all want to be in an amazing, happy, fulfilling relationship, but we don’t know how. We believe that there should be no barrier for singles to have a successful relationship.
Statistics reveal that there are more single people today than ever before in history – 101 million in the U.S. alone and that figure continues to climb. While the exact divorce rate is a matter of debate, experts agree that between 40-55% of all marriages will end in divorce. The marriage rate is decreasing and is at its lowest rate in 30 years. Co-habitation has increased by over 1200% since the early 1980′s. What this means is that more and more couples are entering “trial” marriages to test out the relationship before they make a long-term commitment. These couples fear making a mistake. Unfortunately over 80% of common-law relationships fail which means that “testing” a relationship doesn’t result in a better chance of staying together. In fact, it is a predictor of relationship failure! Perhaps the most concerning statistic of all concerns children born in common law relationships. Because of the high failure rate of these relationships, the likelihood of these children growing up in a single parent family is so much higher.
Why does this matter? Because the impact of divorce and relationship failure has detrimental and long-term consequences on society, on the children who are impacted, and on the health, well-being, and financial resources of the adults and families involved. Children from single parent homes have to work harder to succeed. Many children have never seen a good marriage role model and workplaces are impacted with lower productivity and greater absenteeism whenever a marriage is undergoing turmoil or in the process of divorce.
Rev. Simpson says, “All of our relationships have one thing in common and that is what WE bring to them in the form of our behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and level of awareness – both of self and of others. Yet most most people do not recognize the role they play in the success or failure of their relationships. Singles today have a unique opportunity to take accountability for their life, by getting clear about who they are, what they want in life and a relationship, and how they are going to get it. We want to empower and equip singles to find the love of their life and to make good relationship choices that ultimately lead to having a successful relationship. Our Singles program “Conscious Dating Self-Discovery and Readiness Program and Attracting the Love of Your Life is unique in that it not only helps singles become clear about who they are and what they want in life and a relationship; it provides them with effective relationship skills and helps them create an effective relationship plan for getting what they want”.
