Intrigued by the title?
My good friend Anna Tsang just sent me a link to an online Christian magazine, or "webzine"as they are referred to. They have a resource called "A Girl's Guide to Marrying Well." I just opened it, and I am so excited to read it! And actually, I think I might read "A Guy's Guide to Marrying Well" also. You know... just to see what's going on in their minds, and what they're supposed to do in Christian relationships. : )
I'll post in future to let you know what I think. But check it out for yourselves ladies!
hmmm.
ReplyDeletesomething from the article,
“A woman who is secure in who she is-honest about her weaknesses and humble about her strengths-is a woman who is hard to resist. Develop an authentic, adventuresome and risky faith, one willing to follow God wherever He leads. Don’t mistake femininity for passive, inactive faith. Are you willing to get in the trenches and get a little dirt on your face for Christ? Nothing is more beautiful. Marriage and parenthood require a warrior’s tenacity. When a girl is willing to love the unlovely and give without thought of anything in return, guys take notice.”
haha, I feel so silly taking so much effort into this subject. but this article is really interesting to me... don't judge me too much! : )
ReplyDeletemore memorable excerpts:
"If what you’re after is a strong, healthy marriage relationship, strong healthy relationships within your Christian community are the best way to get there."
“Marriage is 98% living and 2% looking- so learn to value character over appearance.”
"Once you've embraced the calling of marriage, recognized the damage of the fall, remembered God's faithfulness, and accepted His redemption; when you're living like you're planning to marry, being intentional about discipline, and looking for ways to support those around you in their roles, then you can pray boldly.
Pray boldly for yourself and for your friends in Christ to esteem marriage, for your community to accept its role in reversing this post-marriage culture, for godly men to grow in their role, for God to do His redemptive work in your life to prepare you to be a godly wife as you trust His ways, and for belief that He can help you get married."
