I think experience (rightly or wrongly) teaches us that we have to do something to get a man's attention (whether positive or negative). Perhaps, this is the first misconception that needs to be dealt with for single women. If we change that mindset to one of "I will live my life for God and a mate will come when God ordains it", then a whole other attitude comes out. And, in all likelihood, will make the woman more attractive to the kind of godly men she is praying for.
The other misconception that women struggle with is the idea that a man/husband makes us a whole person--that our life begins only after we are attached to a man. I think it is an idea that is a holdover from past generations in which it was pretty much a truism. But, clearly it is not as true today. But, it still infests the thinking of many women.

I would rather be dead than spend one second without Daddy!
Glory to the Lord our God
Glory to the Lamb on the throne
We open wide the gates of our hearts
With our lips we rise up and pray
as we worship the Ancient of Days

I've mentioned this before in another thread, but teaching young woman about how to conduct themselves would make a good Sunday school class.
Do any of you have anything like this in your churches?
I think this is something all churches need to address. Many of our young women don't know how to dress in a way that is pleasing to God, they need the older women to teach them these things, and things to prepare them for the possibility of relationships and marriage.

That is a very good idea. My church offered a Sunday School class for women about building character. I went to it a few weeks and enjoyed it, but then I started teaching Sunday School so I didn't get to finish out the class. I still have the book they used and hope to do a study on it with some women sometime.
MOD NOTE I am moving this thread to Bible Chat, where all of you may continue this discussion.
Thank you,

If Satan can keep us busy swinging our swords at one another, there is no hope of a united attack on the kingdom of darkness. KJV, NIV, ESV or ABCDEFG; there is no time to bicker over such things. We'll devour each other if allowed to continue. We should grab the marching orders written in the way we best understand and get to work.
