Yeah no kidding. Some women just go to church to find a man though. I wonder how many women are really godly women interested in making a man happy.
"...making a man happy."
Women are not "fulfilled" until they have a man, according to the Book Of Genesis. So your point is...???? What???
"...really godly women" are hard to come by. They also demand certain behaviour from the men they desire. The men must be Godly and upright.
"I wonder how many women are really godly women interested in making a man happy."
Both the husband and wife are to treat each other as better, more important than themselves. When we honor each other and forego selfish wishes, instead seeking to serve each other, it is amazing how quality friendships can develop.
Meanwhile, I have to agree with your quote--many women do look at the baubles and apparent security of the guy -- income, house, etc. rather than verify that he is walking with the Lord. God gives, God takes away. Health emergency, mudslide, car wrecks, strokes, etc. All those possessions and wealth can be gone in a flash.
One question I've asked myself when I thought I was in love was, "if this girl had a stroke and I had to hand-feed her and bathe her daily for 40 years, would I do it?" Not thinking the worst case, rather keeping in mind my commitment to marry once and once only...a reality check. I wonder how many women could give an honest yes to such a question .... (sigh)
A good question. I stay single, drunk and pleased with life.
This may sound a little weird, but based on what I've heard from some folks, I think my church is very different from many others out there. Although individually we may have disagreements over things, there is always a genuine and palpable warmth--a sense of security, peace, and joy-- present within and among us when we gather. It's very difficult to imagine it could be any other way. :-]
Most of us are already married, but there is a small group of single people, men and women in their 20's & 30's, who could make nice couples but appear to have little interest in dating each other. *LOL* I don't know why that is, but it could be something as simple as shyness.
