After discussing Christian men quite frequently lately I have decided it would behoove me to share what knowledge I have learned in order to better educate the opposite sex on what Christian gals find attractive and what is expected of you.
This is assuming you are an on fire Christian guy looking for that same type of gal. I think there has been quite a lack of this kind of advice. So here we go.
If you are a Christian Man take heart! Nice guys don't finish last. The whole basis for dating is to eventually find the person you want to live the rest of your life with.
Bad boys may be a source of entertainment but they are not the kind you marry or even date. I enjoy wisecracks and sarcasm but give me a kind, sweet guy any day of the week and I will be happy. elated. thrilled. BLESSED.
You have to be willing to help us in our spiritual walk when we struggle and be willing to take suggestions from us as well. We are called to be your helpmate. But we have to help each other out. This is not an excuse for either party to criticize. See above? Encouraging. Not tearing down, very important.
And it's veeeery important that the advice you give is scriptually based. Otherwise it's just opinion.
And the command God gives us as women to submit to the men. Boy this one ruffles women's feathers because it has been so misused. Men make sure you are taking this command for what it is.
And you need to Love God about anything else. Even us. And as a Christian woman we need to understand that and support it. It's not diminishing your love in anyway. We will love God more than you. God GAVE you to us so that makes us love Him even more -wink-
Men are to love their girl as Christ loved the church and want it to be it's best and protect it. You girlfriend/wife is called to submit to the authority God has given you.
Do not take this lightly. This is not your green light to order them around. Because you are placed in authorit above us you are accountable to God for how you treat this responsibility. We're to live in harmony. So be willing to have a serious go at a life such as this.
A Christian man is to be the protection or umbrella for his wife. People need to get through you to get to her. And I'm not just talking physically but spiritually as well! If she is under attack, put on that Armor of God and go to battle for your woman!
Look at the things you speak. Are you uplifting? Do you encourage others? the answer needs to be yes. Christian gals love a man who not only builds her up, but those around him as well. You can tell a lot about a man's character by how he treats his friends.
There is nothing hotter to us than a guy who praises the Lord with all he's got. Your love of Jesus and desire to be like Him, will take the breath of any Christian girl.
The little dabbles into the world aren't gonna turn many gals' heads. But a guy with his hands in the air rocking out for Jesus? Get a fan!
It's not only the talk. YOu ahe to walk the walk. You can't talk about how much you love God and want to be in His will and then go out and get trashed or do other things that are just obviously not cool.
Be willing to pray for and with your girl. I can't stress the importance of this. God has called the men to be the spiritual leaders of their families. If we have to drag you into praying, it's not going to cut it.
Keep these things in mind and not only will you have a strong Christian walk, but you will attract the woman of God that you have been called to.
Thus endeth my public service annoucement!
We'll wrap this one up with Ephesians 5:22-33 all about Wives and Husbands ;)
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[2] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[3] 32This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
