We already know the two most popular extremes when it comes to single women . There are those who want the world to know they don ’ t need a man . If you dare to inquire of their relationship status they just may bite your head off ! “ Why are you asking me that ?” Then there are others that can ’ t seem to live without having one in their lives . Their heart is like a revolving door because of failed relationship after failed relationship . Others fall somewhere in the middle . They are single , but they are genuinely content with something or nothing happening either way .
I love to challenge single women to be completely OK with wanting a husband . Yes , a husband ! Not just a significant other , life partner or potential mate , but a husband ! There is nothing wrong with this desire . It doesn ’ t make you pathetic , it makes you human . I get so frustrated with women who beat other women over the head because they hope to marry . If you ’ re one of those dream crushing women , please , stop it ! If you are a woman of God , this plea is especially for you .
Marriage was instituted by God . I don ’ t care how much society twists or perverts the union of marriage ; it was designed by God ! Everything that He designs is good and is good for us ! Now on the other hand , if you are one that has carefully assessed your life and determined now is not the time for relationship and marriage , that is perfectly ok as well . Just make sure you ’ re making that decision because it ’ s what ’ s best for you and not because you want to prove how strong you are to a group of women who may be bitter and cynical because of less than favorable experiences .
