Admin	Godly men Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 10:08 AM Hola!! :) I would like to hear some men's perspectives on what a true man of God looks like, acts like, etc...Someone that is really ready to take his role as the head of the house. I hope this isn't too vague. Also, if you'd like to give your views on what a true woman of God, I'd like to hear that too. With love, T Post Reply
View Profile History	Godly men Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 01:07 PM I think when you walk by faith and not by sight that carries over into what you look for in a mate as well. It's maturity. Of course as humans physical attraction and sex appeal still remain, but i've noticed as i grow more in Christ that takes a (way, way, way, way) back seat to the spirit and attitude a woman will have. Essentially, what you see in other people is usually what you see in yourself. If you really do value and strive for the 'higher things' you will be drawn to and notice and recognize that in other people who display that in their lives when making friends and looking for a significant other. If you don't know what you want and are just kinda shiftless and directionless and follow enertia you will attract and be attracted to weak shallow immature inexperienced or naive people. Also i have serious doubt that there is a stronger sex. Men and women start in different places and go through different things, and where they end up is determined by how far they decide they want to go, and there they meet each other halfway and make each other better. Where one is weak the other can make them strong. And when one falls the other can pick them up. Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Godly men Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 01:21 PM I think chemistry is important for a long-lasting marriage. If you don't have chemistry..it's going to be a little bit more boring than if you made sparks fly...a little less likely for love to last a long time...a little easier to be tempted if you meet someone later that does make sparks fly...and a little easier to have regrets down the road when things aren't going smoothly. Marriage is a big thing, and you should be as compatible/in love with your future partner as possible. Doesn't mean people that aren't as into each other can't be happy...would just be a little more difficult I think. :peace::peace: Post Reply

I think it would just be better to SHOW the definition of a 'godly man'.... Mom's might be mandatory..... but DAD'S make the difference..... http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=9xwCG0Ey2Mg Post Reply

liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Godly men Posted : 31 Jan, 2010 06:34 AM I have to agree with piano... Knowing who you are as a son of God and being comfortable with receiving love from a loving Father is the most crucial thing in my point. Just as Jesus was asked about the ten commandments and summed them up in two...Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself, the rest of the commandments flow naturally from those two. Same with being comfortable with love. If a man doesn't know his father or has a bad relationship with him, that affects his relationship with His heavenly Father and he won't be comfortable receiving and giving love (not affection, the unconditional unselfish self sacrificing kind of love). This love and affirmation is supposed to come naturally from a loving and affirming Father and when it's not there, a man gets a "father wound". In lieu of that natural father love, a man can still get that Father wound healed and learn to know love from His heavenly Father...I'm case in point. If a man has this, all the fruits of the spirit will come naturally as he grows in his walk. If you really want to know what to look for in a man, I recommend every woman read two books: "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge, which goes into great detail about the "father wound"... And "Experiencing Father's Embrace" by Jack Frost. These two books radically changed my life. T Post Reply
View Profile History	Godly men Posted : 31 Jan, 2010 10:32 AM Hey T!! I've read Wild at Heart and it really reinforced my feelings on what I'd like to find in a man and it also helps me to be able to understand why some men do what they do. I thouroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone, male or female. Also, if any man wants a little insight into a woman's mind and heart, Captivating by John & Staci Eldredge is a wonderful book to read! Thank you for your suggestions!! :) T Post Reply
Jesusiseverything View Profile History	Godly men Posted : 2 Feb, 2010 02:43 PM I think one of the easiest test is if he puts the moves on you. A man of God will have self control and wait till marriage. Also, when was the last time he witnessed to someone or invited them to church? Does he know more about sports than the Bible? I'm sorry to say this, but a women of God is more seen in places like Indonesia. They put on their profile things like I want to serve my family, I love kids. American profiles seem self-serving like I like to ski, I like to watch tv, I like to eat all the time. Post Reply
