I asked a similar question to the ladies, but I figured I'd ask you guys too. What are some of your biggest frustrations with Christian women when it comes to dating?

How do you lead without leading. Idependace has no place in a union

When a man is mature he doesnt have to prove his dominance, a woman will want to follow because she respects his leadership and trusts his decisions. When it is the right man, God will give her peace about it.



this is totally off the subject and another post, I was trying to give Thunder a little insight.

I think so many people equate dominace with leadership, and I dont believe thats what the bible is saying.



On a seperate related note respect, and submission should be unconditional. As womans submitts to God will a woman submitt to her husband. :)

you would think it's unconditional but it isnt :)

yes your right, alot of people confuse dominance/control with leadership, haha...

I know all about that...I was married to a man who just because he was "the man" I was supposed to submit.

but this person gossiped about everyone, the pastor included. He bad mouthed lots of people and smiled in their faces. Lied at the drop of a hat, manipulated/controled situations and me and so so so much more and it all drove me away.(we were leaders in the church)

So I know what I'm talking about when I say that maturity is key to a leadership role such as union of man and wife or actually any type of leader.

Lesson learned.

I agree, I think marriage in it's entierity depends on spiritual maturity. The more mature a Christian is, the better of that Christian is.

Rabbit,



I would have preferred a private response, but couldn't because of your age setting. I am one of those women who set "must not smoke." I am allergic to smoke. My husband was a smoker but didn't smoke in the house or the car. However, 9 years into the marriage he died of lung cancer. I have told several other men on this site that I would have a haunting feeling every time I saw them light up. I just can't go through that.



Undoubtedly, some of the women will be self-righteous, but some of us have legitimate reasons. I hope a godly women does give you a break. My husband was a wonderful man with a terrible addiction to nicotine.



I don't want any e-mails stating that he should have relied on God more. I've heard it all. The oncologist said that the damage was done to his cells as a teenager - before he accepted Christ. Stopping as an adult would have made him a healthier adult, but wouldn't have made a difference in the cancer cells developing. Don't let your kids smoke before they are at least 18. It's not child's play.



Sorry for what you're going through. I will pray that God brings you a wonderful woman. My daughter is graduating in a few weeks and it is a big sigh of relief. I had to keep reminding myself that God loves her more than I do. She is really in His hands not mine.



Prayerfully,

Rose
