There are exceptions, to this scenario, but typically, some men want the easy way out. The less they are required to do, the less they will do. When a woman gives away everything to a man outside of marriage and outside of total commitment, she will likely end up used and remain unmarried. Yet, many girls and women are conditioned to believe that they have to give away pretty much everything, in order to keep...
What could a man need more than sex? Nothing, right? Well I would normally believe that as well. However, I know of at least multiple men who have pointed out that…drum roll, please…they need respect, even more than sex. Yes, for some (maybe not all) men, respect is more important than sex! This is very important for me as a woman to remember, whether single, in a courtship or married. There is a reason that women...
Specifically, the kingdom man who knows his worth has some special qualities. He is a different type than the average man. When a man knows his worth, he: • Understands that society’s idea of a man’s worth is skewed. He understands that having integrity is what is important. Character makes the man. • Won’t have so much to prove. • Has real confidence; he is not cocky. • Is not insecure; at least not in...
In this post, I have some issues to address concerning gender, roles, and the current condition of society, as it pertains to relationships. Men and women are of equal value and worth in the sight of God. However, men and women are different. This is not news, right? Maybe it’s not news to some more than to others. In this post, I will acknowledge God-given differences between men and women, and the roles they were...
Sometimes, there is opposition to a relationship from outsiders. Even on the occasions where there is a healthy relationship between a man and a woman, hate can come from the friends or family of one or both partners. Haters will hate. It is very important for a couple to guard their relationship. For whatever reason, some are in opposition to the union of a couple. I think it is well known that some women are...
Today, I am talking about marriage. During these times, many people are worried about getting married. This is understandable, because people have difficulties, and many marriages (including among Christians) end in divorce. I aim to observe marriage in light of scripture. This helps me have a positive, yet realistic attitude about it. The love of Jesus Christ is perfect love. Jesus Christ loves the church and wooed the church with His love. He died for...
Today, I am talking about Christian dating. I have taken note of the quality of some of the relationships (and even marriages) I have observed. First, in some, there is a lot of fussing, fighting, sometimes physical altercations, lying, verbal abuse, control, cheating, using each other, getting together for reasons that don’t have to do with love, etc. Secondly, there is certainly going to be conflict sometimes, but there are right ways to deal with...
People desire to feel respected, valued, loved, and appreciated. Certainly, men and women need and desire respect. I have learned that for men, respect is particularly important. The Bible commands in Ephesians 5: 33, “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Here are ways a wife can show respect to her husband man: – Admire him. Men tend...
Are the best men for relationships tall, dark and handsome with bulging muscles, good game, and popular with the ladies? How about shorter, blond, light eyes, lots of money and charm? While those characteristics are not necessarily wrong, they are superficial traits. They fall under the category of preferences; not standards. Moral standards are far more important than personal preferences. I have learned to be much more concerned about a man’s character than superficial traits...
Hearing wedding bells? It is a no-brainer, right? How can you marry someone you don’t trust? The truth is, some women seem to come under some kind of spell when in love with their men. They are not able to think clearly. In these situations, a woman may take a big gamble. Sometimes, she enters into a situation or marriage that she actually knows better than to enter into. Sometimes, a woman becomes careless and...
