"The Gift" of Singleness - does it exist?

Below is an excerpt from a manuscript in process on sexuality, love and learning to follow Jesus.  Curious what you think about this topic of "the gift" of singleness.  The chapter at large focuses on "involuntary singleness," or what it looks like to live well in your single status, even though it's not your choice, per se (to be without a lady or guy-friend).  And frankly, that's what most of the book centers on, but I want to make sure I adequately represent the few who feel called to remaining single.  Are you one of these?  Do you know people like this?  Does the excerpt honor the stance and/or is there anything you'd add, or alter?
