These are reasons why one should maintain proper standards and reasonable expectations. There is a heavy price to pay to settle for less in love, relationships and life. • Destruction of mental, physical, spiritual and all-around well-being. • The chance of being his beard: he is on the downlow; is sexually involved with men secretly. But his lady is his cover so that he can appear to be conventional. • Possibly having children with him...
In this post, I’m going to talk about religious “conversion” that takes place when someone changes or attempts to change their religious belief system in order to date or marry someone else. In fact, some of you wonderful readers may be going through something like this-you are interested in someone, but your values don’t align when it comes to your faith in God. The person you are seeing may have already indicated they are interested...
This post is a reminder to encourage dating women that you don’t have to work so hard in your relationships. Men are not children that are to be raised by their women. We understand this in theory, but sometimes, it’s difficult for some women to apply this reality in their relationships. Some women are exhausted and frustrated from working so hard on their men as their personal projects. “I’m a ride or die chic!” some...
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...
