I read an interesting article in the AJC yesterday about the rise in single women choosing to stay single. Article here. While driving James to the train station and Selah to work this morning my favorite morning show- V-103, spoke about the same topic:
Why are women choosing to be single?
As I sat down to began completing my book proposal for a christian romance novel, I stopped to wonder. If 70% of black women are unmarried and 50% of American women unmarried, then why are romance novels still popular? More importantly, since marriage is like the cornerstone for christian romance novels, will these statistics change the way we write romance novels?
I am single, albeit in the process of a reconciliation with Selah's father. But honestly, I am fine being single. In a perfect world we would just date each other and raise Selah together :) Yeah, I said it. Marriage is hard work. Maybe we have too much to deal with then losing ourselves in marriage. I don't know. So I'm asking you.
My main character is caught in a love triangle, but she really is trying to get away from romance to discover who she is. Is there something wrong with that? Is that a non-Christian thing to do?
