Sister Oaks shares what it was like being single in the Church for 60 years
By Sister Kristen M. Oaks
Older single persons often find themselves the center of great attention and affection as loving and caring relatives seek to cajole, humor, goad, and provoke them toward marital union, not realizing the lack of available compatible mates.
