The next frontier of marriage appears to be sologamy—that is, to marry oneself.
“Self-Marriage is a commitment to valuing and prioritizing self-love and self-care within a culture that has neglected it, left it behind, commercialized and dehumanized it. Self-Marriage is a commitment to being there for yourself, to choosing the livelihood and lifestyle that will help you grow and blossom into the most alive, beautiful and deeply happy person you can be. Self-Marriage is a way to formalize, proclaim, share and sanctify self-love. It can be honored as a concept in itself, through a physical ceremony and regularly through one-on-one sessions to help grow and build this marriage,” according to selfmarriageceremonies.com.
Sologamy is reportedly more popular among women.
And while biblically, Paul tells us singleness is a gift, he didn’t feel the need to specify to indulge yourself.
Rather, he tells the Corinthians each man should have his own wife and each wife her own husband.
Self-marriage is not legal in any country, but that has yet to stop people from committing themselves for all eternity.
