Christian women can’t find good men to marry: ‘There just aren’t any’
Life Site News ^ | May 2, 2019 | Anna Hitchings

Posted on 07/02/2019 1:40:33 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

May 2, 2019 (The Catholic Weekly) – We are living in a unique time in history. Never has politics been so polarised, never has mainstream society come so near to amorality (although Nero’s Rome came close), and never has it been so difficult for a woman to find a good man.

The latter is, I’ll admit, a bold claim but allow me to elaborate.

We constantly bemoan the state of society, the youth, universities, the media, et al, which seem to be collectively falling into ever deeper rabbit holes of noxious regressive ideas, behaviours and policies.

Religious affiliation and church attendance, especially among youth and men in particular, has never been lower. Pornography addiction is a scourge of epidemic proportions among men and even boys as young as 11. Put simply, the world is in a mess.

You’ve heard it all before.

Yet one important side-effect of all this that gets little attention is how tough this new environment has become for women, especially Christian women, to find good husbands. The situation is so dire there is now an emerging trend of women abandoning their faith and religious beliefs for the sake of romantic relationships.

Perhaps this is not considered a particularly serious issue when compared with Brexit, abortion on demand or the erosion of free speech, but I would contend it is every bit as important, if not more so. The future of our society depends on good, solid marriages, families and citizens. We need families to produce educated and informed young men and women who will continue fighting the good fight on all the issues confronting our society.

Yet for someone like me – a 32-year-old single Catholic – the situation looks bleak indeed.

dont let every phrase and word be requisitioned and sexualized.

So what does street-wise mean?

This shows how sick society is, that EVERYTHING must be about sex.

Tip for all men and especially women. Stay away from those with previously enjoyed families. Oh and it is MUCH more socially acceptable to be a stepDAD than a stepMOM.

Ask Lizzie Borden’s stepmom.

That.is.all

At 32 she should be looking for men 45+

I am in my 30’s I date 22-26, because, I can, why not?

My good friend, he is in his 40’s he dates women 27 to 35, why? Cause he can....

The best thing about these wimpy, wussy, jobless, over educated college idiot, whatever gender, snap chat dog ears posting 20 something losers who think they are men, is that it made so many more women their age want to date older guys.

Newt Gingrich said that men would be still living in caves if not for the civilizing affects of traditional females.” And LOVING it!

Gee, I often hear of ‘man caves’...

“...you find a man and make him good!”

That sounds like a piece of $#!+ man, if you ask me.

Christian men are not that sort of a problem.

You would want your daughter to marry a gang member who’s killed others, it appear.

Idiot.

Ha ha—so you picked your mate by her (underlying) looks but don’t like women applying the same requirement to men?

“I just looked this woman up on Facebook. She has a kid.”

Well well well. Adopted, one must presume? Certainly she’s not a divorced Catholic. And it can’t be an illegitimate (ooooh, that must be triggering) Catholic child?

(I’ll take your word, as I am NOT in Facistbook.)

Oh please it’s total logic.

Again, just as yesterday on that other thread on “touching”, FR men proving themselves incapable of going through a thread without showing sexism.

You imply everything is falling apart because of women. In the US. Of age. Voting. For the last century.

Tell me how great all of history was before this little tidbit? French Rev? Islam and the Moslem conquests? Atilla and his hordes? Etc etc etc?

Men have proven themselves the guardians of decency and goodness, always. Or not.

Totally logical when you accuse women of ruining everything, even if just in the US.

BTW, the 16th and 17th Amend passed prior, and have ALOT more to do with our problems than the 19th.

just looked this woman up on Facebook. She has a kid.

So, what has happened is she have birth to Mr. Hunk’s kid and now she wants to settle with Mr. Income and can’t find him because other women married him.


If one bears false witness about another, especially a brother or sister in the LORD stating "what has happened", it is a grave sin crying out for judgment. For example, unmarried women can be aunts, or have friends who are mothers.

The author got three subsidiary points right but missed the main one.

She acknowledges the Scriptural mandate not to become unequally yoked, she grants that God's will for her may be singleness, and she refuses to abandon her faith to assuage her loneliness, Good for her.

Apparently, however, her God doesn't answer prayer! Nowhere does she state or even imply that she might be asking Him to send the right man to her. He did it for us forty-two years ago, and I believe He's still in business.

Nope, picked my mate by getting to know her and her family family and then it was perhaps revealed to me that the Lord had hidden a gorgeous woman underneath a horrible hairstyle and glasses, would be one way to look at it.

Seek ye first... and all these things shall be added unto you, etc :-)

Men bring chaos. women bring civilization. It doesn’t work for all men—just most of them.

Excellent. Even my husband agreed :-)

Says she wants good but sounds more like looking for perfect. I hope she finds peace.

Interesting food for thought in this article. I'll post more when I see some of the other comments, but at this point I'd make the case that any Christian person (man or woman) who gives up his or her faith to marry someone who isn't much of a Christian at all ... and never was.

Perhaps the author of this article should reflect on this and consider the possibility that the women she describes were unable to find suitable Christian men to marry because the good men all recognized the shallow, half-assed "faith" of these women from a mile away.
