How to Find and Wed a Godly Man
Marriage is
honorable among all. ~ Heb. 13:4
Being single is a blessing, but so is being married. Many
single women desire to be married. According to the Word of God, before we build
a family we should get married. But many times that is easier said than done.
Following are some
tips to help those who desire to be married snag not just a good man, but a godly
man. What's the difference? A good man may take care of you, but a godly man
will also go to church with you. He respects himself and God. He knows how to
properly love his wife and his children. This type of man makes a strong leader
for his family, as God designed it from the beginning.
Here is some advice on searching for a godly
man to marry:
Pray about it. "The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16
KJV). Sincerely ask that God's will be done, not yours. Keep in mind that not
everyone is cut out to be married (1 Cor. 7:7).
Make a list of
what you value most in a mate. Also
write down what you will not tolerate. Keep in mind, there are no perfect
people. All of us have some shortcomings we will most likely struggle with all
of our lives.
Only date people who have the same values you do,
especially when it comes to religion. Just
because someone says he believes in Jesus, that is not enough. A person can
believe that God exists and still walk in sin.
Examine yourself. Know the qualities you
have to offer the relationship. These may include physical, mental,
and spiritual. Ask yourself if you really desire a husband. Being married is
not a bed of roses. "Those who marry will face many troubles in this
life..." (1 Cor. 7:28).
Remain pure. According
to research, premarital sex increases the chances of unfaithfulness in the
marriage.
Stay busy. When
you're looking for something, it can be hard to find. But when you aren't
looking, you may happen upon it. When I met my husband, looking for a boyfriend
was the last thing on my mind. I even gave him the wrong phone number when he
asked for it. And more than three months passed before we met again.
Stay fit and attractive. Appearances aren't everything, but all people
desire a mate who looks their best.
Be optimistic, carefree, and adventurous. Men (and women) like positive people.
Don't be too
independent. Let your man know
you need him. Men want to be the knight in shining armor for their women.
Be mindful that the
same thing it took to catch him is the same thing it will take to keep him,
even past the phase of engagement.
Before you can marry a godly man you need
to find one.
