May the Force be with you singles! The Jedi in Star Wars movies take a vow of celibacy to protect the galaxy and to use the Force for good. The Jedi are similar to monks and religious orders who take a vow for similar reasons such as to pray for peace in the world and for Christ to return to bring about the new heaven and the new earth. Jedi are fighting monks who use lightsabers and the Force to combat the Dark Side.
Star Wars Jedi Are Single and Celibate
The Star Wars universe has always been focused upon finding balance in the Force. The Jedi fight to bring that balance when the Dark Side overpowers the Light Side. Because Jedi are devoted to the force, it makes sense that they would be single and celibate. Religions that have celibacy and religious vocations believe that those commitments are similar to marriage, but that person is giving themselves fully to the religion or church. This keeps the followers who take this commitment from being distracted by earthly things such as sex and the distractions that marriage brings with earthly obligations to a spouse. The Jedi take the same commitment to bring balance to the Force. Jedi also practice meditation and meditate on the Force. For this reason, it makes sense that Jedi would be single and celibate.
The Jedis devotion to the Force and their promise to use it for good is seen throughout the Star Wars Saga. Celibacy allows Jedi to grow in their Jedi skills and in the Force rather than being distracted by a romantic relationship. This was seen with Anakin Skywalker when he had a relationship with Padmé. That relationship ended up getting him in trouble with the Jedi Council.
The Jedi show that the single life allows singles to grow and perfect their life skills. Romantic relationships can become distractions from reaching your full potential and becoming one with yourself. Much like the Jedi work to improve their skills; singles can work to go farther in their careers, travel the world, and go on a personal journey of self-discovery unhindered by a spouse. The Star Wars films show that dedication is important with the Jedi professing their lives to the Force. While singles do not have to make a vow of celibacy, they can learn from the Jedi that hard work and focus is important. Those values are available in the single life because committing to another person brings distractions from larger goals that can present themselves to singles.

Solo travel is a rising trend as more people are staying single longer and want to see the world. This is a great direction for those who want to travel. The single and unmarried should plan solo travel trips to see the world alone.
Travelling alone fits with the values of the single life. Autonomy is having the ability to go and to do as you please. Have you ever wanted to visit a country or a city? While you are single is the perfect time to do it. If you want to eventually get married, once you have a significant other along with kids your travel opportunities will decrease. Make use of the freedom that you have now and travel alone. Take advantage of the independence that you have now and travel.
Single Millennials are just getting started in their careers or starting their own businesses and travelling can be expensive. There are ways to spend less while travelling. And believe it or not, there are actually countries that are inexpensive to visit. You can stay in a five star hotel, eat high-end caviar, and drink premium vodka in Russia later in life. If you don’t have the money now, plan a trip to less popular countries that have a lower cost of living and fewer tourists. These travel destinations include:
1. Mexico
2. The Balkans
3. Thailand
4. Portugal
5. South Africa
6. Nicaragua
7. Vietnam
8. Morocco
9. Bolivia
10. Indonesia
11. Colombia
12. Hungary
13. Cambodia
14. Cuba
15. Guatemala
16. Nepal
The most important thing you can do is act singles. Travel where you want. Go where you want. Do what you want. Plan your perfect trip now. Check to see if you have any friends in any countries who will let you visit. That will save you money on a hotel or hostel. It will also give you the opportunity to catch up with a friend while you are exploring another country. Take the risk to travel while you are still single, carefree, and unattached.
Being single is a great time in life and if you are able, you should plan to travel alone to the country that you have always dreamed of visiting. You should not delay to wait and go with a friend. You need to go now. Solo travel has become popular and singles should start to plan their trips today. Go alone and embrace your singlehood! Be proud of being single by showing your single pride in another country!
