What Do Women Want
|
|
I don't know about women, being a man, but one trait they should want is a man that will allow the Lord to direct him to the right woman in his (the Lord's) time.
The same for men. They should seek a woman that will allow the Spirit of God to guide her to the right man in his (the Lord's) time.
It worked for me.
And my wife.
Even though now of days I am ugly old and happily married for 29 years.
And neither of us has been with someone else.
From virgins till death do us part.

The Bible tells us what both women and men should desire in a spouse. The television gives us a different model of expectation.
Unfortunately I have met more television stars in Church than Biblical heroes. No wonder the Christian divorce rate is par with the secular tally. |

Many women make a laundry list of the desired characteristics/traits they want in a man.
They make a list and check it twice, forgetting that they may be naughty and not so nice. The list hangs in the balance, lopsided - imperfection wanting perfection..
Better to make a list of what needs fixing up in our own lives - that's a list God can work with. |

To want it all, you have to "be all", as well.
God may be waiting for you to be completely content in Him before He will send anyone that meets all of that criteria.
Looking for anyone to fill in the blanks for our own emotional needs, is not a good match.
We are complete in and through Jesus Christ, alone. When we learn to lean and rely totally on Jesus Christ, that's when another completed person can enter a Christian's life. |

I want someone I can admire as the spiritual priest of my home...with strong convictions about living godly. Someone I can respect, not bc I HAVE to, but bc I WANT to...who treats me with the tender care that God does..yet has no reservations when defending his family. A man who I can ask advice and not feel belittled...and who can turn to me for advice, knowing I also have insight and that I will encourage him without offending his manhood...I want a best friend...Gosh, I just want it all!! :-) |

What does Woman,or Man want?Does it really matter?WHAT DOES GOD WANT IN A MARRIAGE? Its HIS contract.Love your God like He loves you,love and be true to each other as He is to you.Bring up your Children to love your God by example.What would it profit a man if he gain the whole world & suffer the loss of his soul.Think of children and each other First.Happiness is within your self because you have been given the licence ,you must not abuse it. The gift of Love is a gift from God. |

Respect, The Pointer Sisters said it will. Or sung it well rather. A God fearing man. One who knows where they stand with the Lord and is not a coward when it comes to Satan. It is hard for a man to put God first above his family. And when my husband does, I respect him for that. Especially for him being a Preacher. I am honored that God called him to preach. Honesty is very hard to find. Some say be like David, I asked why? Be like Samson, Why? I say just be the man God wants you to be. |

A man who loves God, can pray with me and who is smarter than me (but I dont tell him!).
Humor, somebody who can laugh and not take himself so serious all the time. A man who can work and not be lazy. These are some of the things I looked for and found in my husband of 26 years. |

if you're looking for what you
now are capable of
wanting and perceiving . . .
Ephesians 3:20-21
Philippians 1:9
2 Corinthians 10:12
I notice I can pass myself off for a pretty sweet and desirable guy - - if ladies are comparing me to certain ones they have had in their past lives, but if you were to compare me to Jesus our real Groom . . . glump (((o: |

Blessings to you my friend, Whisper. Great question! A Godly Christian man who puts God in their life first, and to share the Love of God together with his wife. Good Godly morals and Godly integrity. A loving husband who loves his wife as Christ loves the Church. Someone that you can laugh with as well as communicate with. God Bless friend! |

The want a man who worships God, yet doesn't expect to be treated like one.
They want a man who believes God heals, but still has health insurance.
One who believes God provides, yet has a stock portfolio and a 401 K. (Women are practical that way.)
And while they expect to 'forsake all others', they also want him to 'with my body, I thee worship'.
Like I said, women are practical sorts. |

Since I was married to a Christian man (or so he thought he was) and now I am divorced, I have to say I would just like a man who's heart is after God's heart, who loves the Lord thy God with all of his heart and shows it by praying with me, going to church with me, by not controlling me, telling me what I can and cannot do, or buy or what friends I can't have over our house. A man who is willing to say he's sorry, and willing to admit he needs healing. |

Honesty, integrity, hard working, kind and caring are just some traits. Fortunately, I found these traits in my husband before we were married. Unfortuntately, many women are looking for material things and unspiritual things in a man. No one is perfect and many women and men are looking for the perfect mate. In order to find the right mate, sometimes we have to become the right mate ourselves. |

Perhaps the same things that are hard to find in Christian women these days... |

It's possible that you don't have any of those great characteristics that you're looking for in someone else, and they will always be an elusive carrot.
You need Jesus Christ and in Him you will find all of the great characteristics of a Man, Husband, Father, God. |

You shouldn't be looking for characteristics/traits if you're already married. |
