Preparing Our Hearts for a Review of “Through a Man’s Eyes” by Shaunti Feldhahn and Craig Gross

July 31, 2015 by

14

Shaunti Feldhahn is one of my favorite authors. She is a social researcher and Christian author who does large scale, statistically accurate surveys of men and women to discover how we think and relate to each other. What a blessing to the Body of Christ! Her book, “For Women Only,” was the book that most […]

Ten Ways to Bless Your Man – VIDEO

July 28, 2015 by

4

(Note – I am assuming that you are seeking to live wholeheartedly for Christ and that you would only date/court a man who wants to submit his life fully to Christ.)   Blessing a man you love is really pretty simple – they don’t ask for a lot, honestly.  But this does require the power […]

July 25, 2015 by

Some of you are considering marrying a man who believes he has a calling from God to be a pastor, a minister, a missionary, or something similar. I believe that extra care and prayer is wise as you prepare for such a venture. There will be additional challenges that other couples may not face. Of […]

A guest post from a single sister in Christ in her 40s – thank you so much for sharing with all of us the treasures God has been showing you: I wanted to share some things I have been learning through my journey of liking a godly wonderful man and all of the precious lessons God […]

Red Flags – Part 2

July 21, 2015 by

7

Remember, the red flags I mentioned in the first post (and today’s post) don’t mean “you can never marry a guy with this issue” or that “you can never get married if you have these issues.” They mean that these are things you will probably want to deal with in a godly, thorough way BEFORE […]

I Feel So Alone Spiritually

July 5, 2015 by

Here’s the honest truth, my precious sisters – we will ALL feel this way many times if we are looking to people to meet our spiritual needs. Whether I am married to a godly man or I am single, I will face seasons – maybe even years or decades – of feeling like I am […]

“I Won’t Let My Man Do Something I Think Is Dangerous”

June 25, 2015 by

20

A lot of *girlfriends and wives have this viewpoint today. We try to forbid our men from doing the things our guys love to do that could possibly cause injury. We think we are doing this out of love and that we are “protecting our men.” But is this a wise approach? Will it draw […]

Desperation for Things and People Is Unnecessary

June 15, 2015 by

12

It seems that desperation is the norm these days. So many singles are completely obsessed with finding “the one,” getting married, and having a family – even Christians.
