One Characteristic to Look for in a Man. One of the most common problems that single women face is determining how to spot a good man.
According to the Bible, in
Pro 20:6b (KJV) but a faithful man who can find?
It implies that finding a good man is difficult. There are numerous attributes to seek in a man. I only want to show you one as an example of things to look out for in a man.
This is a non-negotiable trait. It is something you should never, ever compromise on.
One Characteristic to Look for in a Man
Let’s have a look at this.
1Pe 3:7 (KJV) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Does this person you want to make your husband HONOUR you?
It’s a multi-billion-dollar question that requires a thoughtful journey before signing on the dotted line!
He will not honor you tomorrow if he does not honor you now.
One Characteristic to Look for in a Man
Everything your fiance is doing to you now will be repeated in marriage.
All of his deeds are trailers for the real film.
And that film is lengthy, spanning multiple seasons!
What does it mean to be honorable?
It indicates holding high regard or regard for someone. Can you say this to the man you want to marry?
There is no honor when he sleeps with you under duress or by any other type of manipulation. There is no honor if he tells you that you are merely one of his many girlfriends. There is no honor if he repeatedly raises his hand against you, only to apologize later.
I could go on, but I’m sure you get the idea.
One Characteristic to Look for in a Man
According to the Message translation:
Honor them, delight in them.
Is he really into you? In a genuine way, rather than for the sake of sexual gratification?
Another translation is as follows:
Husbands, in a similar way, live with your wives with understanding.
Is he thinking of you? Does he let you express yourself or does he silence you until your default mode is mute?
Finally, another translation states:
If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife.
Is he considerate? Is he sympathetic to your requirements, or does he believe you are overly demanding?
These are important questions to think about.
I will not forget to pray for you this morning. My God will lead you into His will. In Jesus’ name, your path will not intersect with a time-waster! And for those already married, God will keep you and preserve your marriage for good in Jesus’ name!
5 Marriage Advice for Married Men. Here are five tips that will help husbands.
1. Have a good leadership.
The body will be correct if the head is correct. However, if you have a terrible head, the likelihood of your body following suit is high.
We can still work on the body if the head is in good shape. We can exercise to maintain it in shape, or we can eat more to keep it healthy and strong.
Invest in books to become knowledgeable and educated.
2. Always take your wife with you.
Your wife is supposed to be beside you. Let there be no vacancy in her place. Tell her all you have planned, both now and in the future.
Allow her to know about your finances, and understanding her personality will help you decide what to entrust to her hands.
If she is not going to handle the financial aspects of the house, she should at least be aware of where the money is going.
3. Always communicate in your wife’s love language.
Your wife needs to know she is adored. She must understand that she is adored by you. You love her on her terms rather than yours. That is what it means to speak her love language.
4. Defend your wife and be there for her.
The truth is that your wife is the only person on the planet with whom you have a marital vow.
It is your obligation to ensure that she is emotionally, psychologically, and otherwise safeguarded.
5. Stay on the same page.
To accomplish this, you must both have a common purpose that you intend to attain together.
You must collaborate to achieve a common goal. According to the Bible, two are better than one because they will receive a favorable recompense for their efforts.
Allow your hard work and the fruits of your labor to shine through.
Don’t waste your entire marriage fighting over insignificant issues. Grow as a couple. Be mature and tackle the task that God has assigned to you both.
As singles, we need to know who to fall in love with. As couples, we need to keep falling in love with the person we have chosen.
Let’s talk to singles first. I frequently remind people that there are some questions for which they do not need to pray. Certain situations do not need seeking God’s face. Certain concerns should not be brought up with your pastor.
God is an orderly God! So, when He created us, he gave us brains so that we could think. In addition, He gave us His word to instruct us. His principles are clearly stated in His word.
So, when it comes to receiving guidance from God regarding relationships and marriage, there are some issues we don’t need to ask God about again because He has already informed us in His word.
As a single individual ready to marry, you cannot marry everyone and everyone. Some people should be avoided. You see, when you fall in love with the wrong person, there’s no need in asking God about it because His word already tells you not to.
That is why we never receive responses to some of our prayers because His word clearly provided the solution.
This is why, according to James, we sometimes ask the wrong question.
Jas 4:3 AMP [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.
Loving Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul
So, who are you not supposed to fall in love with?
Don’t fall in love with someone who despises God!
That’s all there is to it.
You cannot love someone who despises God. Hear me, and hear me clearly. Do not consider him if he has not been born again and does not fear God. Don’t bother asking God whether it’s okay. His word is already clear: don’t do it.
2Co 6:14 MSG Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark?
Loving Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul
Light and darkness cannot be united in marriage.
Now comes the tricky part.
A God-hater can appear to be pleasant. A God-hater, like Nabal, can amass wealth, but that wealth will harm them.
Pro 1:32 KJV For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Think carefully before falling in love. Watch your hormones and sentiments before they take control of your spirit! Watch it before your thinking is dismissed and your sensibility is blunted by “love.”
It is explicitly stated in the scriptures. A person who does not know God cannot adequately love you. God is love, and you must first know God in order to genuinely love another.
The majority of what is professed as love is simply lust!
What if you’ve already fallen in love with someone who doesn’t know God and has stated his disinterest in God? Simply rise above the love you’ve fallen into! No more.
You fell in love, didn’t you? Simply get up and leave the love to save your life and destiny. Your life’s mission and purpose should not be buried and forgotten in the kitchen of a God-hater!
Deliver yourself and go off!
Pro 6:5 KJV Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
What if you are already married?
The first thing to think of is not divorce or separation. The first thing is how to save your marriage. Unless of course, you are being abused and your life is threatened. If your life is not threatened, then you want to pray and seek counsel and find ways to initiate changes and improve the marriage. Ultimately, the relationship with God has to be prioritized by the couple and then all others will fall in gradually.
How to Spot a Faulty Love Life . There are signs that show a friendship probably won’t lead to marriage.
There are signs along the way that a relationship will end or crash.
Most of the time, these signs are clear, but when we are “in love,” we don’t notice them.
The man who will end up hitting you would have given you hints when you were dating.
He would have given you a few hits and punches here and there, but you probably let him off the hook because you thought he would change.
The woman who will bother you all day and night probably gave you hints, but you must have just thought it was her personality.
How to Spot a Faulty Love Life
If a woman didn’t care about your goals and dreams, she would have shown it, but you were so in love with her that all you could see were her hot legs.
The Holy Spirit will often try to guide us and let us know when something is wrong in a relationship. But if we think, “I know everything,” then there’s nothing God can do.
Because He is fair, God will always let you choose for yourself. He won’t change what you want. If God can stop us from doing what we want to do, then everyone should be made to be born again and accept Jesus Christ into their lives.
How to Spot a Faulty Love Life
God won’t do that, though. But if you ask Him and listen to Him, He will always lead, direct, and help you.
I’ll talk about one area where problems often show up, but we don’t pay attention to them: spiritual life.
You need to be very careful with him if his spiritual life is weak and nothing to write home about.
If she doesn’t care about God, she should just watch it.
If he or she doesn’t value God’s word by reading and studying it regularly, there is definitely something wrong.
If he or she doesn’t go to church often, that’s a very bad sign.
Don’t let love make you lose your mind.
He only drinks when he is upset. Really?
He doesn’t use hemp to calm down. Instead, he smokes a few cigarettes. Really?
She is always busy, so she doesn’t go to church.
You are dating, but only both of you know about it. Nobody else! There’s something wrong with that.
You’re dating, but he or she doesn’t call much, sometimes for weeks. Well, if you go into marriage like that, you should already know what you’re getting into.
I’ve always said this: Marriage doesn’t make anyone different.
Already married and bad issues are cropping up? The you want to see help quickly in marriage counseling. The issues you ignore are waiting and brooding into more complex issues, so its better to address them as they show up!
Dear Babe, What Exactly Do You Want? No matter how spiritual a lady is, there are certain things she wants from her man, single or married.
This morning, we will look at a few of them.
1. She wants someone to play with.
There is a little girl inside every woman who always wants to play with the little boy in her lover.
Learn to play with her in your relationship. Don’t always be too serious. Get her to laugh. Have fun with her. Together, go to the movies.
2. She wants a guide, not a teacher.
Every woman wants to be guided and not told what to do.
There are many big differences between the two.
Don’t tell her what to do, because you are not her teacher.
Don’t give her a sermon; you’re not her preacher.
Don’t use Bible verses to get mad at her, that won’t help.
When a mentor is kind, things go better and faster.
3. She wants a man who is honest.
Every woman wants a man who is honest. Cheating comes from the same heart that tells lies. When you tell the truth, you know you are safe.
Make a promise to always tell the truth, no matter what. A man who tells the truth will have children who also tell the truth. It’s as easy as that.
Don’t walk down the aisle with him if he lies on the spot.
4. She wants a guy who will let her say what she wants to say.
Every woman wants to talk and loves to do it. Let her say what she wants. Don’t silence her. Even if you don’t understand what she’s saying, let her talk.
She feels better when she talks and says what’s on her mind. Let her be.
Don’t make her look like an idiot.
5. She wants a guy who is responsible and capable with money.
Lastly, every woman wants a man who is good with money and not careless with it.
A guy who isn’t good with money is a big source of heartache and frustration for the woman.
