This week on Single Status, Samantha welcomes Carlos who is the producer of the podcast and owner of the production studio Hi Hello Labs. During the conversation, Carlos shared his experience of singleness and the importance to hear from both single and married people’s perspectives to encourage emotional growth and maturity. As a married man, he acknowledges that there is a tendency for single people to create a fantasy of what marriage will be like and advises them to instead let God guide the way, relating his story of being raised a Roman Catholic and later becoming a Nondenominational Christian. Both mention their experiences with their journeys along the church and the faith, recounting experiences growing up in a church that had a lot of rules and regulations, including not being allowed to act on sexual urges. Controlling those desires became a key to emotionally developing, spiritually strengthening, and preparing them for relationships. The importance of understanding that these physical urges are natural and should not be condemned or seen as a sin will allow finding healthy ways to deal with them and will further allow relationships to be healthier.
