Why married people need single friends

I swear these people are reading my mind. Here is a quick snippet from the article. And/But to all my married friends who DO keep me in mind (and call!). THANK YOU!

"For singles who want to be married, having married friends simply keep you in mind as they move through their various social circles reminds you that you aren’t alone. (S)ingles need married friends to simply ask how they think of their own unmarried state and life course. Such questions might include: What is it like being single in a church oriented around families? Is it strange to hang out with all couples? ... And most importantly, How can I pray for you? For those who experience their singleness as a burden, having friends carry the burden with you reminds you of Christ’s presence and perfect law (Gal. 6:2). Married friends of singles sometimes don’t know how to broach the topic, afraid that it is too personal or painful a topic. Indeed, it is personal. But what are friendships but ways of knowing another person?"
