1. Knowing that her beauty flows from her inner character, rather than her external appearance 2. She sees a man's strength as a blessing rather than a threat 3. She is encouraging rather than quarrelsome But watch the video to see the justifications anyway. Bless you, reader!
I’ve prayed for a husband, but I pray mostly for God to make me into a Godly woman, a loving wife, and mother, and to strengthen my relationship with the Lord first and foremost
Met this wonderful young lady that started attending my home church. What made me attractive to her is the fact that she worships the LORD and is a very nice sweet person. She’s beautiful to me and will be praying on it.
I think women become harsh after so much hurt and disappointment. Some are just mean but most of the time they were sweet and then constant hurt changed her. That is why our focus must be Christ
God gave man the power over the woman for thousands of years but man exploited it. That is why now we are facing so many problems. Who is controlling porn....men. Porn is violent and make a man think woman as a commodity. Men should come up and stop doing all the dirty things then the world is going to be perfect.
Anna K Anna K Honestly, what you said sounds like a one sided statement. I seen women control men through manipulation. Many women receive the man that God sends them but they feel like “he’s to boring” because, they’re use to the “bad boy.” I experienced it in the past and also seen it myself. When I was living in the world, I was whoring around and disrespecting women. Sad thing about it is that women loved being around me when I was in the state of living in sin. Now that Jesus Christ set me free from my bondage of living in sin, I started to look at woman differently. I started to show them respect and also shared the gospel with the females I was around. A lot of women cut me off since I started to follow Christ. I told this one girl I use to mess around with about Jesus Christ and she told me that she missed the old me. The old me use to call her all types of names but now that I show her respect and looked at her like a young lady, she called me “boring.” I experienced all of these things. Women will have a nice guy and they’ll push them away for a man that treats them poorly and don’t value them as a woman. This can go both ways meaning, both genders but it’s mainly women in today’s society. Furthermore, do I believe Men should control women? Nope. Do I believe Women should control men? Nope. Did God set order and structure of how a family should be? Yes. Men are created to be leaders and the women is there to support the husband. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:25 - “Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Also, “porn” is a gateway to demonic influence and leads to other sin such as , “adultery”, “masturbation(self-pleasure) etc. Sin itself leads to more sin. Nevertheless, this world will never be perfect because, its corrupted with sin and satan and his angels orchestrates the society we live in. This world will pass away when Christ returns. The Holy Spirit gives us power over sin and we leave our faith in Jesus Christ to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Dee Cee Dee Cee I agree completely that a woman who loves Jesus Christ wouldn’t be like the women I described. But the only reason I spoke about women from my past because I was making a point to the comment above. The comment the lady made was one sided and we all know when you’re in the world it goes both ways for men and women aside.
I've been hurt but I honestly don't take out what I may have gone through with one man out on the new man, I give him his own rope and if he hangs himself then I move on. Everyone who enters my life get a rope if they hang themself with that rope that's when I walk away. I have never taken anything I've been through with someone else out on the next person who enters my life. I TREAT everyone equally and just until they start to show me their true colors or their genuine self.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as he has Godly principles. This is not sexist but think about IT, what if men didn't admire the beauty of women! Plus there's no woman out there in her right mind that doesn't mind a man finding her attractive...
It is true that most men are initially attracted to physical appearance. There is nothing wrong with that; what is more important for men to realize (I'm a dude myself.) is that physical attraction is just one piece of the pie. I want to fall in love with a woman's heart, soul, and mind way more than her physical appearance. Is that easy for me? Absolutely not! I pray all that the time that the Lord would send me a wife; not just a girlfriend.
A friend of mine linked me to one of your videos last year cos I was struggling and I've been watching since. I've fumbled along with the opposite sex for years for lack of wisdom so your stuff is gold to me. Thanks , Mark.
Love the video. It's very important to choose a spouse who submit themselves to the word of YAH (GOD) and not just speak it. I encounter people who are seasoned in the word and use it as a means of correcting their spouses in a dispute, but neglect to apply it to themselves when indulging in their own sinful nature. Using it as a means of manipulation to control the relationship. Especially when their spouse aren't as knowledgeable in the word as they are. YAH must truly be at the forefront of the relationship to establish an enduring love. If your relationship is based soely off materialism, looks etc. and not YAH it won't endure. It will morph from a blessing to a lesson. The 2 shall become 1. Remember that when interacting with your spouse. Treat them the way you want to be treated at all times; with love and respect.
This is good...and it's nothing wrong with physical beauty or attractiveness it's not a sin....just take it 1 step further and look at persons character that's all
I know im really growing because nowadays when i argue i try to express my concerns without bashing and cutting too deep with my words like i used to...this was so helpful
It takes faith to be a Good woman in this harsh world knowing that you are a vulnerable being that can be taken advantage of, but God is our refuge and our strength in order to come up with His will Thanks for this video bro💕
This was such a blessing because it confirms and validate my reluctance to entertaining certain women based on the lack of the spiritual attributes mentioned in this video. This i believe is confirmation from the lord.
Thank you for this, I was very upset that my ex left abruptly even though I prayed for YHWH will to be done. She would lash out at me in anger and with her words and wasn't fit for marriage, this helped me to see that. Thank you YHWH and thanks for the video!
Great video Brother Mark. Proverbs 31 woman holds a very special place in my 💗. Beauty fades it's what's in the heart that matter's most I believe. A Godly woman that walks with God is truly a priceless gift as a wife. Thank you for another great video. God Bless you. 💒
I find this very inspiring. Sharing this to your fellow Christians gives new insights and perspectives that can help us prepare to become better individuals before getting into a relationship or into marriage. This is truly a blessing. Thank you so much!
Mark, it’s May 2024-5 years after you posted this video. This message resonated with me because God has been working on me in these areas. I’m so thankful that I’ve grown and am now displaying the 3 qualities you outlined more regularly. Thanks for your hard work.
Ugh I used to be the bad versions of all of these. Lol tested that out with my first relationship that needed to end regardless. I’m Glad I got to see my flaws. Now I just have this issue of feeling pressured to wear make up. Not even because I think I’m not beautiful externally but this world can make us think that women are suppose to have make up and know how To do make up. Just goes to show that the focus is so much on external. I want to perfect my words though. I can speak well to others but to myself I can struggle. I can encourage someone else but have a hard time with myself when things get really bad in life. I love how you said when we live in sin our best gifts turn into our worst curses. So true and sort of encouraging because it shows that that part of your worst self could actually be something of great value if you just look to God for change. Yes us women we can cut down when we use words in a bad way. It’s so destructive. I’ve been that girl., but I’m only 19. So I’m just trying to learn everything from Jesus so I can and apply it whether it’s marriage, purpose, or just myself. I’ve always been about becoming a bette time. I used to look to astrology but I found Jesus and that’s changed it for me and I’m so glad!
I love all of these tips but #2 is my favorite. It is so important for both men and women to hear. I am so eager to meet the man I can fully trust and submit to, however I feel like a lot of the guys I’ve come across aren’t understanding/willing to do that. I haven’t dated much, though, and I haven’t lost hope that there are many men out there who are strong and will lead!
Hi Rebecca I'm currently in a situation where I feel God has got me ready spiritually for this reason in finding a God fearing woman also known as a proverbs 31 woman
as God is sovereign i pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that he blesses you with a beautiful man who understands this. He is out there Rebecca 👍🏽
Thank you for this wonderful video! More grace ... Although am female : I feel more informed by this video, just discovered your channel been so blessed by this videos in my singleness. Thank you 😊
@sew with ore This guy Mark is a true blessing. Highly suggest you dive into his videos over the last 2 years.. Gives you a biblical roadmap to follow in how we think and act towards the opposite sex. Glad Mark was given this gift to share!
Wow, such a great video, especially your third point! Your perspective regarding our gifts that God has given us can turn evil when we walk in sin is enlightening! Thank you!
God bless you,nice message,it has really taught me on the qualities of a God fearing woman,and encouraged me continue living in purity as I wait upon God to connect to me the Right Man,thanks
I am SO tired of being single 😒 I left my longest relationship when I found Christ, but... sometimes I regret it honestly. I wonder if I'll ever find love! There was a guy at church that I think is just AWESOME, but I dropped a couple hints that I was interested and it was very clear that he is not. Also, he is very focussed on growing in ministry and leadership (which I find super attractive), so I know he doesn't need distractions. *sigh* I'm struggling with loneliness and feeling inadequate. I worry Christian men won't want me because of my past. I worry that maybe I'm not doing enough. Honestly, sometimes I struggle to keep my thoughts pure. I made dating profiles on sites that are obviously not attracting the Christian man I'd like to meet, and my church is so big, I don't see how I could realistically meet anyone... Currently feeling really pissed at God. 👏I👏AM👏NOT👏CALLED👏TO👏SINGLENESS!!!!!! Sooooooo... Where is he??!!! Omg
Thank you for your honesty! You are definitely experiencing spiritual warfare at its finest. Satan HATES that you are pursuing God and wants to keep you broken. Check out the Break the Cycle Challenge for singles!! I think you’d love the encouraging community that comes with it. I found out about it through the godlydating insta page. marriedandyoung.com/breakthecycle/
@Rumbani1 those sermons cut me deep in a good way trust me. I wished i knew all that before too but I was too wordly. Thank You Jesus for not giving up on me
I dont know about spiritual warfare someone mentioned but The Lord disciplines the ones he love. Going through it also but I trust God. Surrender fully, every area of your life. Listen to his voice and obey. We all get dirty and unclean thoughts be evil spirits. Rebuke them and realise thst some are from your body others temptations from evil spirits. Deny yourself and let God transform you into a godly woman.
@ Opinionated Mak The heresy of mutual submission again ? Submit to one another in the fear of Christ : -women to husbands (the word submit here is not i the original text) -children to parents - servants to masters The husband is THE one and only head , ok ? End of discussion.
Amen Last girl I dated lacked that internal beauty and confidence. Also she did not want to "submit" and step down from her masculine nature and allow me to be the strongman God intended me to be. She did express her quaralsome tendencies. May have been the drugs, she became anxious I couldn't understand at the time. She tried to tear me down with her word's, I was loss for word's, being that she was way more profound with her word's!
People call my soft gentle nature as weak, when that's not at all the case. God appreciates me, and I appreciate me as peace loving and gentle spirited and firm
Mark it is so very hard to speak life whilst simultaneously being utterly disrespected by the man you are dating. But so long as there is breath in my body, with each new relationship I will keep practicing and keep trying until I master it. Amen
This was very informing. I’ve now realized I was idolizing the beauty of my ex gf of 4 years. Beautiful yes. Very difficult unbelievable... I’ve said to myself many times “if she wasn’t so beautiful I’d be out of here!”
I was and still am to some degree working through the same thing. She was very attractive and charming, and she knew it. Used it has a tool to lure men. She said she was a Christian but her fruits were few. It’s a long story but I’m thankful that God is breaking my attraction to her. Although we have talked i have not seen her for almost 6 months. We were together for about 5 years. God has drawn me back to Him and He now is my #1 focus. I’m placing my trust in Him in regards another woman in my life. :)
I loosen to know and act upon being marriage material, binding all in my life that is not suited for building up the marriage to hell, while I loosen myself of every unequal yoke and common share with those not being marriage material, in accordance with 1 peter 3:3-5, proverbs 31:10, ephesians 5:22-24, genesis 1:27, proverbs 21:9, proverbs 31:12, 1 timothy 5:11-13, 2 corinthians 6:14-15 and this whole word, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
What do I do if my girlfriend is mentally ill, doesn’t trust me very much, is quarrelsome and argues over nothing, is threatened by my abilities and strengths and believes she’s not enough if she doesn’t win, and struggles to believe that she’s beautiful inside. She’s up and down and in the ups she’s wonderful, sweet, funny, we have a ton in common, our life goals almost always line up, and she makes me feel understood and at ease. In the ups when it’s just her being herself I feel so sure she’s the woman for me. But then she’ll get really upset over something small that she’s reading into, and suddenly thinks I don’t love her anymore and want to leave or I’m mad at her even if I haven’t said anything. Maybe I’m just not good at being a boyfriend?? I don’t wanna lose someone I consider such a close and personal friend because of trauma she carries that was never her fault, but I’m overwhelmed!
What’s troublesome is when my father and brother spend their time making fun of others then I to in turn do the same because I don’t want to walk on egg shells. I’m finding myself doing this in friendships and relationships. I don’t want to shut out my father and brother but they are really toxic it’s frustrating
I found your talk encouraging and informative. Because I find that normally teaching about singleness tends to only challenge men in a belittling way. It seems to be an unspoken teaching in church that women are permitted by Jesus Christ to hate men and/or their husband. I don't find that in the bible. The fact that you basically stated that a Christian woman is actually accountable by God is not only courageous, but... nearly unheard of. There is no support in the bible for a man or a woman to hate and abuse their spouse. It's very difficult for me not to become angry at the unspoken compromise. Because men stop being men. Incidentally, as a love note for potential haters especially, I am not married. I saw your video for the men and I would say that I am deficient as a potential husband--- sorry to say, but it's true. Having said that I still can't find biblical support to belittle and hate or emasculate a man in the faith if you are a woman. I'm still waiting for someone to show me scripture to support such abuse.
Can you please make a video directed at accepting people with disabilities and medical conditions as possible 'marriage material'. A pastor spoke it into my life that I would get married, but my husband has to be a very special type, because not only is only 1% of New Zealand's population Christians, I also need a man who is prepared to accept my disability and medical condition. I would have to have staff come into the house to help me with some things to give my husband a break. Unless God decides to heal me this side of eternity, these are permanent things.
As a woman, I do struggle with the idea of submitting to a husband, but this is partly because men have so often abused and stifled women and failed to love them as Christ loves the church. And I’m sorry to say that a lot of Christian men just have really problematic and narrow-minded views when it comes to this area and it’s very difficult to trust them to be a good spouse. (And I’m not a huge fan of gender essentialism in general, I think our traits tend to be more from how we’re socialized than genetic predisposition.)
This video was really good to listen to as a young lady soon going to be courting. But I wanted a little advise on somethings. first of all the guy I want to court has some odd views on a mans role in the home, placed there by his dad ( clearly demonstrated in their home) but to them the woman has not a lot of choice the man tells her what she can wear, what her hair has to look like, activities she can do for instance in my family we ride motor bilks but in his they are terrified of motorbikes so if we end up getting married he probably won't allowing me to ride. Not to say this guy has so many other amazing qualities there is a reason I want to pursue a relationship I just don't know how to approach these "problems" though. Some people tell me to not let him tell me what to do and to leave him if he wants to be like that. But I could never imagine him with someone else or myself with someone else or him not being in my life. Anyone have advise or bible verses?
Please sir pray for me, because i got angry easily, and I'm not a bad person, sometimes i regret being angry easily when someone offend me, but i don't like the attitude of anger,because i want to be a good wife to my future husband by the grace of God.
@@carolinesujana7944 This makes sense. I can have plenty of reasons to be angry (and I do) but God is the only one that can give me the peace I need to easily find reasons to be happy..
I find I get angry easily because I'm more sensitive about how sin affects the world and how it has affected my life. I wish people were more Loving, Truthful, and Holy but unfortunately this isn't heaven and it only shows how much I and people really need God.

Met this wonderful young lady that started attending my home church. What made me attractive to her is the fact that she worships the LORD and is a very nice sweet person. She’s beautiful to me and will be praying on it.
Did you ask her out ?

I think women become harsh after so much hurt and disappointment. Some are just mean but most of the time they were sweet and then constant hurt changed her. That is why our focus must be Christ

I believe in inner beauty too and try to focus on it but most men including Christian are first attracted to appearance.

Listen to "That Kinda Girl" by DC Talk! Perfect song for this subject!
Great message! I am so excited for the university courses! God bless you
Hi Myralovingbooks, here's the AGW University info if you are still interested :) agwuniversity.teachable.com
Excellent video! Well said ❤️
God bless you,nice message,it has really taught me on the qualities of a God fearing woman,and encouraged me continue living in purity as I wait upon God to connect to me the Right Man,thanks
Hi Naomi...
@@cworld700 hi to you
This is helpful. Thank you. I'm single and it helps to study the Word on preparing to become a Christian wife.
I am SO tired of being single 😒 I left my longest relationship when I found Christ, but... sometimes I regret it honestly. I wonder if I'll ever find love! There was a guy at church that I think is just AWESOME, but I dropped a couple hints that I was interested and it was very clear that he is not. Also, he is very focussed on growing in ministry and leadership (which I find super attractive), so I know he doesn't need distractions. *sigh*
I'm struggling with loneliness and feeling inadequate. I worry Christian men won't want me because of my past. I worry that maybe I'm not doing enough. Honestly, sometimes I struggle to keep my thoughts pure. I made dating profiles on sites that are obviously not attracting the Christian man I'd like to meet, and my church is so big, I don't see how I could realistically meet anyone... Currently feeling really pissed at God. 👏I👏AM👏NOT👏CALLED👏TO👏SINGLENESS!!!!!! Sooooooo... Where is he??!!! Omg
Be patient and keep working on yourself and let the Holy Spirit guide you (thru His Word). All things are working out for your good. in His time.
Thank you for your honesty! You are definitely experiencing spiritual warfare at its finest. Satan HATES that you are pursuing God and wants to keep you broken. Check out the Break the Cycle Challenge for singles!! I think you’d love the encouraging community that comes with it. I found out about it through the godlydating insta page.

@Rumbani1 those sermons cut me deep in a good way trust me. I wished i knew all that before too but I was too wordly. Thank You Jesus for not giving up on me
@@jennalanders6799 wow I signed up a few days ago, its awesome. Cant wait for next week🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I dont know about spiritual warfare someone mentioned but The Lord disciplines the ones he love. Going through it also but I trust God. Surrender fully, every area of your life. Listen to his voice and obey. We all get dirty and unclean thoughts be evil spirits. Rebuke them and realise thst some are from your body others temptations from evil spirits. Deny yourself and let God transform you into a godly woman.
Preach it Mark, amen! I love 💕 this and I’m so ready for marriage 😄🙏🙌
Ephesians 5:21 Is the included . Why do men always ignore it? “Submit to one another put of reverence for Christ.” This is a a part of it.
@ Opinionated Mak
The heresy of mutual submission again ?
Submit to one another in the fear of Christ :
-women to husbands (the word submit here is not i the original text)
-children to parents
- servants to masters
The husband is THE one and only head , ok ? End of discussion.
Mark - thank you. I am a woman and what you say about beauty is simply perfect.
1 Knows her Beauty flows from her Inner Character
2 She Sees a man’s Strength as a Blessing
3 She Is encouraging rather than Quaralsome
She straight up tells you 😂. A close female friend of mine told me that she hopes to start a family in the near future.
Thank you for sharing your great thoughts to us. It really helps us a lot.
Amen
Last girl I dated lacked that internal beauty and confidence. Also she did not want to "submit" and step down from her masculine nature and allow me to be the strongman God intended me to be. She did express her quaralsome tendencies. May have been the drugs, she became anxious I couldn't understand at the time.
She tried to tear me down with her word's, I was loss for word's, being that she was way more profound with her word's!
Submit to one another
Again love your explanations and examples, very relatable and on point! 😘
Do you travel to other countries to teach the Word brother? You are an awesome teacher!
This was very truthful and great to use the Word to back it up not just your opinion. :D
Thanks brother!
Thank you Mark!!! Your a blessing.
People call my soft gentle nature as weak, when that's not at all the case. God appreciates me, and I appreciate me as peace loving and gentle spirited and firm
I find joy in humility
Mark it is so very hard to speak life whilst simultaneously being utterly disrespected by the man you are dating. But so long as there is breath in my body, with each new relationship I will keep practicing and keep trying until I master it. Amen
💯💯💯great food for thought.
👍
Watching this in 2023 giving up on dating market, just getting into a relationship in general has become agonizing
Looking forward to the link on Dec. 30 ... I’m blown away at your spiritual knowledge and wisdom
Hi Ramona Turner, here's the AGW University link :) agwuniversity.teachable.com
This is incredibly simple and helpful.
This was very informing. I’ve now realized I was idolizing the beauty of my ex gf of 4 years. Beautiful yes. Very difficult unbelievable... I’ve said to myself many times “if she wasn’t so beautiful I’d be out of here!”
I'm glad this helped bring some clarity
Thank you Mark! You’re message helped me move mountains today!
I was and still am to some degree working through the same thing. She was very attractive and charming, and she knew it. Used it has a tool to lure men. She said she was a Christian but her fruits were few. It’s a long story but I’m thankful that God is breaking my attraction to her. Although we have talked i have not seen her for almost 6 months. We were together for about 5 years.
God has drawn me back to Him and He now is my #1 focus. I’m placing my trust in Him in regards another woman in my life. :)
Amazingly good video.
Thank you and God bless. 🙏
Great video pastor ✊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes i did thanks once again
I loosen to know and act upon being marriage material, binding all in my life that is not suited for building up the marriage to hell, while I loosen myself of every unequal yoke and common share with those not being marriage material, in accordance with 1 peter 3:3-5, proverbs 31:10, ephesians 5:22-24, genesis 1:27, proverbs 21:9, proverbs 31:12, 1 timothy 5:11-13, 2 corinthians 6:14-15 and this whole word, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
i think ou got it right brother
God bless you always 💗
Great Video Pastor! stay blessed!
May God bless you too!
She agrees with you! A great sign.
What do I do if my girlfriend is mentally ill, doesn’t trust me very much, is quarrelsome and argues over nothing, is threatened by my abilities and strengths and believes she’s not enough if she doesn’t win, and struggles to believe that she’s beautiful inside.
She’s up and down and in the ups she’s wonderful, sweet, funny, we have a ton in common, our life goals almost always line up, and she makes me feel understood and at ease. In the ups when it’s just her being herself I feel so sure she’s the woman for me. But then she’ll get really upset over something small that she’s reading into, and suddenly thinks I don’t love her anymore and want to leave or I’m mad at her even if I haven’t said anything. Maybe I’m just not good at being a boyfriend?? I don’t wanna lose someone I consider such a close and personal friend because of trauma she carries that was never her fault, but I’m overwhelmed!
Thank you powerful message God bless you.
Amen, so glad you enjoyed it!
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger
Thank l was really blessed.
Amen good video. God bless you! So much confirmation in this video. You made me smile. 😊
Really nice videos, I learned a lot, and found out what I did wrong in the past.
It's also important that she doesn't despise her child bearing capabilities, especially if she is in her biological prime.
Yes, i love beautiful Christian mothers.
Eww. If she don't want kids, she won't be a good mom, so let her the time to be interested in motherhood. Because that shit's HARD
Watching this as a teenager to prepare myself for the future😗💖
If only i knew this before i was married i wouldnt have been beating myself up that maybe i may not be enough!
What’s troublesome is when my father and brother spend their time making fun of others then I to in turn do the same because I don’t want to walk on egg shells. I’m finding myself doing this in friendships and relationships. I don’t want to shut out my father and brother but they are really toxic it’s frustrating
Waw u are blessed
Great teaching
GBU
Making sure I have these traits 😂❤
I found your talk encouraging and informative. Because I find that normally teaching about singleness tends to only challenge men in a belittling way. It seems to be an unspoken teaching in church that women are permitted by Jesus Christ to hate men and/or their husband. I don't find that in the bible. The fact that you basically stated that a Christian woman is actually accountable by God is not only courageous, but... nearly unheard of. There is no support in the bible for a man or a woman to hate and abuse their spouse. It's very difficult for me not to become angry at the unspoken compromise. Because men stop being men.
Incidentally, as a love note for potential haters especially, I am not married. I saw your video for the men and I would say that I am deficient as a potential husband--- sorry to say, but it's true. Having said that I still can't find biblical support to belittle and hate or emasculate a man in the faith if you are a woman. I'm still waiting for someone to show me scripture to support such abuse.
Thank you. I needed this.
Amen to the word of God
really good video... thanks Mark
Is my husband in these comments 👀
Sorry that was funny 😂😂😂😂
:D
Hahhaah!!
Haha
No, he is in your neighbourhood
Blessed!
Very good video, thank you Mark. God bless
My pleasure!
Very Good Video Of Truth.
If she control her words, she is attractive.
She should be able to express herself and her opinions..
But does it with class
Can you please make a video directed at accepting people with disabilities and medical conditions as possible 'marriage material'. A pastor spoke it into my life that I would get married, but my husband has to be a very special type, because not only is only 1% of New Zealand's population Christians, I also need a man who is prepared to accept my disability and medical condition. I would have to have staff come into the house to help me with some things to give my husband a break. Unless God decides to heal me this side of eternity, these are permanent things.
I have some work to do 😬
A Beautiful Story don’t we all!
As a woman, I do struggle with the idea of submitting to a husband, but this is partly because men have so often abused and stifled women and failed to love them as Christ loves the church. And I’m sorry to say that a lot of Christian men just have really problematic and narrow-minded views when it comes to this area and it’s very difficult to trust them to be a good spouse. (And I’m not a huge fan of gender essentialism in general, I think our traits tend to be more from how we’re socialized than genetic predisposition.)
Awesome video
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video👍🏽
This video was really good to listen to as a young lady soon going to be courting. But I wanted a little advise on somethings. first of all the guy I want to court has some odd views on a mans role in the home, placed there by his dad ( clearly demonstrated in their home) but to them the woman has not a lot of choice the man tells her what she can wear, what her hair has to look like, activities she can do for instance in my family we ride motor bilks but in his they are terrified of motorbikes so if we end up getting married he probably won't allowing me to ride. Not to say this guy has so many other amazing qualities there is a reason I want to pursue a relationship I just don't know how to approach these "problems" though. Some people tell me to not let him tell me what to do and to leave him if he wants to be like that. But I could never imagine him with someone else or myself with someone else or him not being in my life. Anyone have advise or bible verses?
Please sir pray for me, because i got angry easily, and I'm not a bad person, sometimes i regret being angry easily when someone offend me, but i don't like the attitude of anger,because i want to be a good wife to my future husband by the grace of God.
Amen, you can work on this now and you will reap the rewards later if you do get married.
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Amen.
I got angry easily when i had bitternes and wounded heart.. God healed me. Also got angry when i skip daily prayer😅
@@carolinesujana7944 This makes sense. I can have plenty of reasons to be angry (and I do) but God is the only one that can give me the peace I need to easily find reasons to be happy..
I find I get angry easily because I'm more sensitive about how sin affects the world and how it has affected my life. I wish people were more Loving, Truthful, and Holy but unfortunately this isn't heaven and it only shows how much I and people really need God.
