What a Woman Wants...

In our D-teams (Discipleship teams) we are studying two books. The guys are studying "Wild at Heart" and the girls are stdying a book called "Captivating". So far, in our studies, the book has been really interesting. We have been looking at how society views women, how we see ourselves, how we see a Christian woman. My friend Dave on his blog has been blogging about this topic, and has recieved a masive response. Each person has their own opinion, and eventually, the comments focussed on what a person looks for in a spouse. So, what does the everyday woman want in a husband?

My findings sugest the following:

• Good looking
• Taller than me
• Sweet and Caring
• Will do things for me, without me hinting at it first
• Will be jealous if another guy flirts with me
• Into Sports
• Talented
• Plays an instrument
  
• and... oh yeah, he needs to be a Christian. (rolls eyes)

A few people on Daves blog said the following

• Is a Christian
• Loves me

I reckon that true love comes when you can see past the flaws, and see the good things as only being extra. Because what is important is who the person is, not what they do. So many people these days focus at what is on the outside, that they blind themselves so they can't see the inside. Then they get married.

The show "M*A*S*H" has a character named Frank Burns. He said the following "Marriage is the key part in divorce." Now, he wasn't being philosophical, as he was described as "Having the same calming effect in the OR as dracula in a blood bank."

But the point is thus, people getting married too quick, or do they just not know what they want in a spouse?
