Rock4Christ View Profile History	proverbs... 31? Posted : 5 Sep, 2008 09:12 PM I am not saying all women but a good number I meet, they always want a man that is rich, to provide and care for them, while they stay home and take care of the 'children'. however, when I read about women in the scriptures, ecspecially proverbs 31 it shares that the Godly woman works hard from before sunrise to sundown, that she makes the clothing for the children and even addresses the 'elders' or leaders in the community to help her husband remain of a good report... I have found a few, but it is very rare... why is this? Post Reply

She is busy from the time she gets up until she goes to bed. She takes excellent care of her family, works with her hands, uplifts her husband and brings him honor. She stays away from gossiping, meddlling, etc...because she fills her life with important things and isn't idle or lazy. In this day and age it is a rarity. I am speaking as a woman. I feel in this day and age that woman are alot more self-centered. It is not easy giving up your will for someone else's will. The virtuous woman has no time to feel sorry for herself or protest her lot in life. She is strong, honorable, and godly and doesn't brow beat her husband to uplift herself nor expect him to be a millionaire...mmm...mmm There are still virtuous women out there...you just have to find the right clam to discover the jewel inside...:peace: robin Post Reply
View Profile History	proverbs... 31? Posted : 17 Sep, 2008 05:47 PM I think it is possibly just the girls that you are looking at. Materialistic girls often times do want a man that will take care of everything so they can stay home. I see SO many profiles on here by guys that want a woman that knows her place, that has no goals and has no dreams of graduating college or having a career, because their future wife should want to stay home. It's pretty crazy! I think if you eliminate the girls that seem materialistic from the get-go, you will eliminate the ones that want a "sugar daddy". This may not have helped, but maybe it did! Haha, take care! Laura Post Reply

Posted : 3 Oct, 2008 11:37 PM I really share your concern, I was not surprised when i heard such things from girls who are non believers, cause it is the system of this world, cause it is the wisdom of this world. However, it is really scary when it comes from Christians which are thought to be the house of God. If you make a survey of the reason why men are afraid of being married, you may find out that they are not rich enough to someone whom they deserve. They think that the girl they love may despise their financial inability to afford her needs. So they restrain from asking her for embarrassment reasons. What makes me worried is its expansion in the church where the woman ought to be like you said it, but not in these days. But, I can't deny there are a true women of faith who give themselves for their family. There are women who are the crown of their husband, in which he will only be blessed in her. By the way there are also men who likes to merry rich women, who prepare their traps to make those women to fall in love with them. So we Christians should talk about the materialistic approach of men and women towards marriage. We should discuss it with in our bible studies, with our friends, with our pastors,. We really should discuss it, we really have to. Bless you all Post Reply
sweetangel2585 View Profile History	proverbs... 31? Posted : 22 Oct, 2008 07:06 AM Well I for the girls who want a rich guy i just dont think that is right! I mean I know most girls want that secuity that they can be well provided for and want to stay at home and what not! But it is not really important how much money you have. If you have the means to support a family and she can stay home and take care of everyone (children, etc) that is aweomse! But the way this world is now, it seems to be taking both set of incomes to make it work. I was raised to be the stay at home wife and do all the duties and that is great if that is possible, but I am a realist and men are very rare who still believe that way. I think it shouldnt matter if women has a job and a degree or they want to stay at home. I know for me, I would do either one for the one I love! If He wants to and can support a family then I would be blessed, but if not I would want Him to accept me working! When it comes time for children I would most definetly would love to stay at home and care for my family that would be awesome! But there are other women who may not agree with it! God has someone special planned for you and she will cross your path in time! I believe you have great values and seem to be genuine any girl would be lucky to have you!! Post Reply
