Author	Thread: Would you be interested in this guy?
Admin	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 29 Oct, 2009 11:30 AM Hello Ladies! I am asking this question not for myself but as a general question as this has come up with a friend of mine and thought it would be a good discussion. Suppose you met a guy who was average to above average looking whatever that means...lol... and he was very godly, was clearly sold out for Jesus and knew his scriptures well, very grounded, a spiritual leader. Let's say he is in good physical shape and took care of himself. He also has a great sense of humor and a very good communicator. So in other words so far he has the inner qualities that you would be seeking. But suppose he did not make a great income. Suppose he was able to pay his bills and have a little left over and did not have a lot of debt. His career was not a prestigious one. Would you consider him for a potential mate? Do you have some kind of standard of income that you are seeking in a mate? Why and why not? Blessings! Walter Post Reply

In other words that shouldn't be the selling point (so-to-speak). However, God does tell us that we need to work if we want to eat and He doesn't always give us what we want but rather what we need. Not that He doesn't want to bless us in every way... that is between God and the individual as it is a heart issue. So, if the man's heart is in the right place, that is the key for me, along with mutual attraction. That is why it is so important to get to know someone really good first before rushing into marriage. A friend once said to me: "You must look into other people as well as at them, look into the heart of 'why' they are saying, sometimes people say things to make them happier, look better, or be justified." Hope that helps is some way :glow: God Bless you in your search! Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 29 Oct, 2009 01:12 PM My only standard for income is that the guy be able to support a family. He doesn't have to make a lot of money to do that. I would like to be able to afford to stay home with any kids we might have (maybe even homeschool them), so it would be nice if he could make enough to allow me to do that...but of course, that's really a different issue altogether! More important to me is how the earned money is spent, saved, etc. I'm a thrifty sort of person, and while I don't mind spending money on nice things, I tend to want to spend wisely and not waste money...after all, God provided it, so I shouldn't waste His provisions.

View Profile History	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 29 Oct, 2009 08:39 PM I dont think that Income should matter. As long as he had a steady job and didn't jump around from job to job and the bills were getting paid one way or another. I've never really been a material kinda girl myself. I am glad you asked this question though because I am curious to see other peoples opinions on this subject because I myself don't bring In much Income..I am okay with that but I do wonder what a man would think considering I never attended college after graduating from High School. (this would make a perfect post for myself I guess! lol) To each there own...I guess. Post Reply
View Profile History	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 29 Oct, 2009 09:19 PM I would absolutely go for him because if God is the center of our relationship? Then God will provide~~Jehovah Jireh~~my provider. It seems that today's gospel steers people to believe that God is the big candy man always handing out goodies to those who do everything right. Not true~~He said be content with what you have. My ex who passed away did not make much money and it did not sway me from him, but if a man will not work? That is a different story. :rolleyes: As far as women needing to make a certain amount for a guy to pursue her? I don't want to be with a guy like that. Peace~~ Post Reply
View Profile History	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 30 Oct, 2009 10:37 AM Ladies a BIG thabk you for all your resppnses!! I am glad to see that each of you has your priorities in line with God's word, it is unfortunate howqever that many Christian women are materialistic and do have certain monetary standards that they will not settle beneath! I wonder what women like that are going to do when the economy crashes and require a microchip in their hand in order to "buy or sell" anything? That day appears to be fast approaching us! Its a shame that so many ladies will have been waiting and wasting their time waiting for a godly man who is well to do and not obtain him while others who have their priorities biblically in line will find real love and happiness!

lordsgirl View Profile History	Would you be interested in this guy? Posted : 30 Oct, 2009 09:03 PM Yes I would be interested in "that" guy. As long as he can pay his bills and spends money wisely, and has strives to take care of his family is what he makes is not what is on the top of the list! but where his heart is with God, if he treats his future partner as God wants him to treat her is what matters the most!

Then He will provide and knows that man's heart even with health issues. She would have to work or in my case, my ex got hurt at his job and ended up on disability and I already had a ruptured disc and getting SS so we had to make cuts and learn to live on way less. It was hard but we did make it and he did some side work so God does make a way. :applause: Post Reply
