18 Things Every Christian Woman Should Know About Christian Men

young_menThere tons of books and articles that talk about how a woman can “find” a man. Do you really think that the use of rules or any other special tactics are the best things to place a woman on the path towards marriage? Please remember that bible says that ”He who finds a wife, finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord” (NIV) Proverbs 18:22. For all of the ladies that read this post, it is important to understand that God does not intend for you to go out and find a husband. He intends for your future husband to go and find you.

God needs to prepare all of us for marriage (men and women). Often times we remain unmarried, because we are not ready in God’s eyes. 

To my sisters in Christ. If you truly want a Christian man in your life, there are some things I think you should know. I’m talking about a true authentic Christian man. I’m referring to a man that is not perfect, but he loves God deeply. I’m referring to a man that will treat you like queen and lead your family as he follows Christ.

I am going to take a little liberty and speak for authentic Christian men around world. If you are a single female, here is what you should know about some of the things that go on in the mind of an authentic Christian men as it relates to you. (If you are a married woman, some of these things may help you out too)

1. We love God even though we may not always show it the same manner that you do.

2. We are not afraid of marriage. 

3. We are not perfect just because we love God. Learn to deal with our imperfections. We learn to deal with yours.  

4. A positive and happy woman will always be more attractive than a negative and angry one.

5. What goes on between us should stay between us. Your girlfriend and/or family don’t need to know everything. 

6. Gossip is unattractive.

7. Selfishness is really unattractive.

8. Less clothing does not make you more attractive. We want to see your breasts, but not until we put a ring on your finger.

9. Please go easy on the makeup or learn to apply it properly. We are looking to marry a woman not a clown.  

10. Don’t be quick to be jealous of our relationships with our mothers. How we treat her will be a good indication of how we will treat you. 

11. Although SOME of us are prophets, NONE of us have the ability to read minds. If something is on your mind please say so. Clues are for Sherlock Holmes. 

12. Authentic Christian men genuinely like to help other people. That does not me we care any less about you. 

13. We are not like the other people who have hurt you in the past. 

14. We aren’t as obsessed with your weight as your are. 

15. If we comment about exercise or eating habits it is because we care about your health. We want you to be around to spend time with us.

16. The fact that you have children is not stopping us from getting to know you.

17. Whatever we like before marriage (food, sports, video games, etc), we will continue to like after marriage.

18. There are constructive ways to ask us to do things, informs us and correct us. Nagging is not one of those ways.

So, what do you think about the list? Is there anything else that should be added?

    I think that it is great the the two of you read the Bible together. May I suggest that you read, re-read, and read again Genesis 24. There is such a rich depth of insight that we as godly women (and men) can take from this passage of scripture. Study the character traits and ways of Rebekah. Who is ultimately (and divinely)doing the leading? We've taken too many of our dating cues from the world .... that are just plain wrong. You have to be open to having the Holy Spirit prepare you for being a wife. So instead of "you expressing that you are interested in moving forward"...be still, be a friend, but most importantly pray and find out what God's will is for the FIVE of you! By the way, he sounds like a fantastic man!

  • @jf,

    I'm not a relationship expert. However it seems like he is trying to do the right thing. It may be hard for him to give you the attention you deserve if he is taking care of his mom and his girls.

    If you believe that this the man, that God wants you to be with, then I suggest that you continue to be a good friend to him. Over time God will begin to move in his heart and you will see a change is your relationship.

    If this is not the man God wants you to be with, then I suggest you move on.

    @Lee,

    Nagging probably means different thing for different people. For me nagging can be defined as continually complaining. I also see it as nit-picking over insignificant items and details.

    People have a tendency to nag when they want things done on their terms. Here is a good article about nagging: http://marriage.about.com/od/chores/a/nagging.htm

    What is nagging?

    my friend and I have been friends for the last 3 years. We went our separate ways for about 1 yr and a half. I met up with him again at our church( i finally joined). Well we exchanged numbers and began a really good friendship, we read the bible together talk about things and we always incorporate Jesus in our WWJD conversations. Well lately Ive expressed to him that im interested in moving forward and he agrees but says not now! He lives with his mother and is helping her out and he says not until him and his girls(yes he has full custody of both girls)move and get their house. Im trying to accept his answer but apart of me is saying if he wants to be with me then he would be with me. We can grow together...What do you guys think?

    I completely agree with Cliff, no i am not a man, but i have always believed that a true Man of God is not focused on looks. Wordly men do that.

    I like this. It is true in so many ways but it does have some clause. A man judges a woman by not just her appearance but she can contribute to him or do for him and now so many men are looking for the women to support them. An average woman who does not dress to show off her assets goes un noticed in so many men eyes because they are attracted to the glamor shine and mere thought if she can dress she must have and have for me too.
