This post is to inform girls and women in ways that I was not informed. It is to encourage them in ways that I was not encouraged. It is to warn them in ways I was not warned. Everyone has insecurities of some sort. For some people, their insecurities are a lot more debilitating. Some women are finding out about the dangers of relationships with their men primarily through their individual experiences. Some people are...
Some men are very concerned about women not being able to pair bond with their husbands because of the women’s sexual histories. I believe this is a legitimate concern. Let me tell you another legitimate concern I have. Not only is it a concern as to whether women will pair bond with their husbands. I’m concerned about the same for men, pair bonding with their wives. Will husbands be able to bond and attach correctly...
Amidst the gender wars, there are some men calling out and rebuking gentlemen who love and respect women, accusing them of being “simps.” Some men really seem to hate women to the point where they don’t even want to see women treated well. This shouldn’t have to be said, but a man doing these things is not simping: • A man advocating for women who are on the receiving end of injustices, such as the...
Yes. A woman’s approval and affirmation of her man is incentive for him. Did you ever notice that plenty men who desire women generally avoid behaviors that they believe repulse women and push women away from them? Men who want to be with women generally act in manners they believe will attract and keep women. Or at least, some behave in ways, doing just enough right not to repel women. In other words, plenty will...
In keeping with my theme of godly femininity and impacting others righteously, in this post, I am calling out something about certain (not all) black women. This is because what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, regardless of anything else. It doesn’t matter if we are the same gender or if we have similar skin tones. I don’t take sides, based on superficial traits. I want to do what is right...
Godly submission will always be relevant. Why? Because it is God’s design. God’s ways and God’s will transcend time. It doesn’t matter that it’s 2023. For people who follow Jesus Christ, it is important for everyone to submit to God. Godly submission of wives to husbands is not simply something for the 1950s, the 1800s or a concept that is only discussed in the Bible and left there. I am writing this post, because in...
This post is inspired by recent conversations I have had with some men about their expectations for women, and their disappointment in how women are not meeting those expectations. These conversations on social media platforms and in “real life” helped give me a little more insight into part of the reason why the dating scene is difficult for many. For single sisters in Christ who encounter religious men who hold these beliefs, it should be...
For many, the dating scene is not so great! Countless times, I have heard older, married people acknowledge their sympathy for people who are dating and looking to get married in the current climate. I agree with them. It’s not easy out there! However, God is greater than circumstances. In this post is encouragement for singles waiting on God’s best. Here are five ways God provides protection for singles: 1. Protection from being unequally yoked...
How aware and alert are single men and women? People in Christ know the importance and power of prayer, in order to make the right decisions. This goes for decision-making in all areas of life. No less, when it comes to choosing a spouse. It is a childhood desire as well as adult desire for many women (and men) to have love, marriage and families. These desires can bring intense feelings that can be overwhelming...
A lot of people are HURTING. Some confide in me. They are having problems with family members, friends, colleagues. Many of their wounds are emotional / psychological. Harsh words tear people down and hurt their feelings. Chronic, bad attitudes are offensive. The effects can be very long-lasting. It is important to build up others with our words, instead of tearing them down by saying hurtful things. Words have power. They bring life or death. “The...
