Attracting Godly Men.... (moved from GIC)

[Ta-An]

Good looking, good in the kitchen, treats her husband like a king. The basics.

I see you..... even in your disguise come out and smell the roses

Attract.

Seems as though that's ingrained in women as a necessity.

It would seem to me, that it would be best for a woman to be who she wants to be. Satisfy yourself first.
Then, the right man will be attracted to the right woman, for the right reason.

Attract is becoming synonymous with entice, or tempt.

Is this really what you women are thinking?

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.

Frecs,
You sound like a woman with many talents. Any man would be blessed to have you as his wife!

Frecs is my twin sister from another Mother, I never met,,,,, so she is perfect

(getting my water balloon ready) Come on out, no one is going to hurt you!

I'm a pretty good cook. Not a baker...but a good cook. And, I think the treating like a king comes when you treat her like a queen!

Indeed. I wouldn't treat her any other way. Good point.

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,

I wish more churches would do this sort of thing. I think it would be so helpful.
