Why are single mom's and divorced women so unappealing to men? Seems kind of judgmental and slightly biased...

It is truly amazing How much People assume and judge in ignorance and then make fools of them selfs. Why can't people be more kind and simply ask Question and get the facts strait before making a judgment. Other wise they show who they really are and who is really controlling them. The wheat now is being divided from the tares.

This has much to do with people's views of themselves....thinking that because they haven't taken marriage vows, had children or been divorced that they're a cleaner slate so to speak, while they themselves may have slept with more people or filled themselves with more worldliness than many divorced Christians have.

Another reason,

Most people aren't interested in the presence of Christ in another - Christ's presence in a person is not limited by a person's past (such as divorce). An excellent example of this would be the Apostle Paul ;)

Instead, people focus on what they're able to perceive while leaning heavily on their own understanding, they themselves not recognizing or valuing Christ in themselves or others - passing up the presence of Christ in a divorced person to pursue a seemingly "cleaner" person, who has no relationship with Christ at all.



On the flip side,

Husbands and wives act as mirrors for one another, meaning that more often than not, divorced men and women have come to know much of themselves and their sexuality through their ex partners....and that can be a VERY serious problem indeed. Even if its not a problem for the divorced person, this is an area of many people's lives where they do not wish to be unequally yoked if they have not given themselves similarly.

God bless

Well said and thanks for the comments everyone. Dreamtime you took the words right out of my mouth. I was pondering on this suject yesterday and had come to the same conclusion.

The value of Christ in me... I see it in myself and those close to me. If I never meet a man who appreciates Christ dwelling in me, then that's ok. I am still blessed.

To everyone reading this,

Hang in there! God's Hands are not tied by those around us. By faith, HE is able to provide whatsoever is needed for His will to be accomplished in our lives!

Consider Adam in the garden of Eden. Seriously, before God created Eve, what were Adam's chances of bumping into her?

In all honesty, we often face the same odds when it comes to our own needs being met - whether we realize it or not.

The Lord is just as capable of raising up and preparing someone for us now as He was for Adam in the Garden of Eden - IF that's what's needed to accomplish His will in our lives...

So...have faith :)

No it's just the mindset of those who still think in worldly ways. Look at it this way. If a man doesnt want you because you have been divorced, then it's obvious you are not equally yoked. Why desire a man who's heart is not going in the same direction as yours in Christ, divorced, kids, and all. Count yourself blessed to still be waiting on his perfect will. Know in faith he will guide you that special one in his time. It is better to be alone then together wih someone and going in two different directions. The wait will be well worth it and then some.



Blessings,

David
