I don't believe that American women are inherently bad. I think the feminazis have created an environment where it's impossible to tell the good ones from the bad ones.

Yes, it does make it a bit challenging doesn't it? Although I must say, based on your previous posts, I sense you would not find it impossible to differentiate if you trusted your Godly instincts, which I have gathered are very strong.

Being a women that has once been utterly selfish and extrodinarily ambitious and then being born again to realize that there is a God and I am not it, I even more so agree that a man can not always know which sort of woman he may be dealing with when he gets married. But a tell tale sign based on my personal experience of having both aspects active in my nature is that the woman proves in a variety of ways that she can and will submit to God's authority even against her own selfish desires while one is dating her.

If she can show this humility and Godly commitment through action again and again before dating (of course she may not do this perfectly, but who among us does?) Then I think you can safely assume this submission of ego to God will continue through the struggles of marriage and raising children.

It really all does come down to action. We all have selfish desires. To me it is how we deal with these on a daily basis that shows what sort of people we are.

When I fail utterly at this discipline, my husband continues to be a role model for such humility and sacrifice. This reminds me and reinspires me to try again. I think it works both ways for both men and women.

God will put the right woman in your life to marry when it is time. In fact, he already knows exactly who and where she is and anticipates this time when you two come together. It will be a perfect fit, because God has choosen it. This is what happened to me and my husband.

By the way, we (my husband and I) have to continue to make sure to stay close to church, the bible, prayer, meditation and Godly resources. It is more important that a husband lead the family to these sources rather then the work source first. The husband has the great weight of being the role model, even when the family fails and when the husband fails the wife needs to be the role model of God. They renew one another continually.

Forgive my crazy long posts. I am passionate on this issue I guess. I appreciate everyone's posts today on this. I think it is a vital discussion for our day and age. Critical in fact.

Although I must say, based on your previous posts, I sense you would not find it impossible to differentiate if you trusted your Godly instincts, which I have gathered are very strong.

It's still very tough, even when you're not doing somewhat foolish things, a problem we all have. And I've almost done some truly stupid things, which I will not mention aloud. Hopefully, the Lord will clear my sight well enough to know.

Thanks for the post GOP Poet - it hit home here. I was recently involved for a year with a career woman who was also an empty nester. Although she was divorced twice due to many affairs she had chosen, she indicated she was born again. I gave her the benefit but certainly observed her actions.

As you stated, her lack of humility and acting more like a "dog in heat" convinced me she was still the same tramp as before. I thank God He showed me this before I made a terrible mistake.

So just a short "Thank You" for your post that confirmed my own inner convictions - character eventually shines through and is easily transparent.
