When I was a teenager, I set goals of what I wanted in a husband. I only dated Christians who fell within my guidelines. I waited a while before I married but when I did, I married a man that makes life the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced here on earth. We live in a paradise on earth together and he is the kindest, most caring and compassionate man I have ever met and I love sharing each day with him. I never thought it was possible to find someone like him and am so glad I waited to find Mr Right and didn’t settle for less.

Take your time and really get to know someone and don’t make excuses when they treat you with disrespect. You deserve better.

I found the below article a couple of years ago and hope it will help to open this girls eyes and to know she needs to quit blaming herself for what he is doing because he chooses his actions. What is sad is she enables him by allowing it rather than putting a stop to it. She has low self-esteem and needs to work on drawing closer to God and what God expects of her before getting into a relationship with someone else.

Read Proverbs 31:10-31 and study it deeply and fashion yourself after the godly woman. Then read Ephesians 5: 25-33 to learn how a man who loves his wife and family will treat them. He has to learn to love God and himself before he can learn to love someone else.

* * * * * article “I’m Worth A Lot”

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question “What kind of man are you looking for?” She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking. “Do you really want to know?” Reluctantly, he said, “Yes.” She began to expound…

As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man
what he can do for me that I can’t do for myself. I pay my own bills. I
take care of my household without the help of any man…or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, “What can you bring to the table?”

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring
to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, “I am not
referring to money. I need something more.”

I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of
life.” He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to
explain.

She said, “I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection
mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple-minded man.”

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection
spiritually because I don’t need to be unequally yoked… believers
mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I
don’t need a financial burden.

I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand
what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be
submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn’t taking care of his business. I have no problem being
submissive…he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t help himself.

When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with
a puzzled look on his face. He said, “You’re asking a lot.”

She replied, “I’m worth a lot.”
