What an edifying word!
Since the meme seem...Jill,<br /><br />What an edifying word!<br /><br />Since the meme seemed to be geared for the young men... this is for the young ladies: <br /><br />While there is nothing wrong with being attracted to a handsome man, good looks and a strong athletic body will both age. So make sure he is actually a *gentleman*, with a loyal and humble heart that will be attractive your whole lives. Likewise, money or power shouldn't be the focus, but integrity of character and a good work ethic are the right qualities to pursue in a potential husband. Also, know the difference between God-ward confidence vs. arrogance. Both types of men can quote the Bible quite well. But the latter isn't who you want to marry. I'm sure I could say more, but that's a good start.<br /><br />Added to your "waiting or looking for a mate" list: <br /><br />NEVER allow church leaders to push, sway, manipulate or control either of you. <br /><br />And especially for the young ladies, look for red flags of domineering/abusive male behavior. Because women are in the role of submission, it is harder on women in an abusive situation, especially if you are in a church that has a distorted view of male headship.<br /><br />-Carolyn, grateful for her sweet and godly husband!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
