Can cuffing season help single Christian women?

Hattie Webb reflects on the pull of “cuffing season” — that autumn urge to find someone to snuggle up with. But she challenges Christian women to look beyond temporary comfort, reminding us that true fulfilment and love are found in Jesus, not in seasonal relationships.

Everyone that knows me knows that I’m an autumn girl. As a Londonder, where the summer heat can be grim, and life overwhelmingly busy, I gladly welcome the cooler air and slower pace of life that comes with autumn. To me, nothing beats snuggling on the sofa with a lighted candle and cuppa in hand, watching a good movie. So as you can imagine, when it came to dating (I’m now engaged), this was my time to shine. To throw on my chunky boots, brown coat and find my snuggle partner. And it turns out that I’m not the only one that is compelled to couple up as soon as the evenings get darker, as there’s even a term to describe it - cuffing season!
