I firmly encourage you to please stop emasculating men, if this is what you are doing. Whatever women lack in physical strength, some make up for with sharp tongues, which they use to hurt others. Although verbal abuse is not deadly in that it is not physical abuse and cannot cause bodily harm, it is still very harmful. 1.) Some women make it a point to publicly embarrass their men. Instead of taking their men...
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...
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...
Many women are quite unhappy. I hope for and pray for peace and joy in the lives of others. Like anyone else, I have moods that fluctuate. For every problem there is a solution. Peace and joy come to me when I focus on God as my source. It is an ongoing reality that I need to focus on God in all of my circumstances, in order to have peace. There are many reasons for...
If we want to encourage someone, we normally express appreciation, admiration and support for them. We express gratitude verbally and also by giving back in some way. We often verbally praise that person. When it comes to bad behaviors, we may not necessarily verbalize agreement with how someone is acting. Yet, if we don’t verbalize disagreement, and if we go along with them or stand by them, this is indication of agreement and acceptance. Both...
The question, “Where’s your man?” has been used as a weapon against plenty women. “Where yo man at?” It has been an effective weapon against probably just as many women. It has caused some women to feel bad about single status and some resort to compromising their values so that they can be in a relationship. “Where her man at?” is what some say to, or about women in what seems like disdain. As if...
This post is inspired by a conversation I was involved in recently. The conversation showed me the opinions of people who are also propagating false information based on those opinions. They are sharing false information to both men and women. It is the same false information that has been planted in the minds of people long ago. It is a double standard. People have a right to have their own views. I respect that. But...
As I observe relationships around me and the experiences of some women in their relationships, I realize that probably the majority of women’s major problems come from their romantic relationships. Many women have been willing to suffer a great deal. Some women are willing to compromise their values and joy in order to keep a man around. Some have foundational beliefs that they are willing to compromise and participate in behaviors that they would not...
