4 Things a Woman Should NEVER Do with a Good Guy

[@john6941]

1) Never tell a good guy what to do. Just ask him. 2) Never rush a good guy to commit to you with your words. She him he should commit with your actions. 3) Never give a good guy an ultimatum. 4) Never try to improve a good guy. Let him improve himself through his relationship with you.

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

[@lgarcia4628]

Ladies, make sure you give a good man a "clean slate" when start a relationship with him. Don't make him pay for what an ex did to hurt you. Don't compare what he's doing and the ex did. If you are still at that frame of mind best not to get in a relationship until you are healed. 🙏

[@rosameijering5161]

Yes always

[@ana-maria448]

But they compare women also, only they do not vocalise it as women do. Women express more often what they think than men. Again, it goes for both men and women.

[@laurisher9006]

I agree. Not to make this comment about myself but I figure saying this people will read and might relate. I have been dating someone for a year and there were some toxic habits he was introducing that were very similar to what my ex did. It's not something very common so of course it reminded me of the past. I'd tell him not to do it because it reminds me of my ex. Also, the next thing is his dress code is very different from my ex which I like very much. He wears long pants to go out with and my ex wore lots of short to go out with. My partner wanted to introduce short outing pants and I didn't want him to because I love that he doesn't remind me of my ex in anyway. Now my only toxic trait is my memory, I remember details well so I wouldn't say I'm bringing my ex up because I'm not healed, I just need to let go of the memory of some details so I could accept the changes my partner wants to introduce. Can anyone relate to this?

Mark, my guy was wanting to move forward with physical intimacy before marriage so I had to let him know that I can only be intimate with my husband.

You go girl! And if he does not respect that,give him the 🥾 boot! A godly man will want to wait until marriage also and have the fear of the Lord regarding intimacy.

[@QueenIsabella777]

As a woman you really have to respect a guy and I think the only way you’re gonna do that is if he is solid in who he is in Jesus. I was just engaged to who seemed like a good guy and he blew up and I guess resented me, said he was going along with me with religion. He called himself a Christian but I’m an observant Catholic. He liked the trendy idea of being Christian but didn’t like it once it required modesty and challenged his line of work. He was so “good” and “nice” but because he had no spiritual direction only knew that marriage and gender roles were good because of social media, I ultimately didn’t trust him and all the nice things he did didn’t make a difference because it was all superficial. A good guy is not enough, you need a man of God that knows Jesus. As a woman, wife, your virtues are above all humility, compassion, gentleness, grace, and forgiveness that should cover you with your behavior with men. And modesty. I would tell women to remember that the only thing that matter is your salvation and your path to perfect your soul in Jesus, if a man isn’t leading you to this - even if he has everything you could want in the material world, it’s not worth it. A lot of women want to think they can convert a man, but his conversion has to come from him and it’s best to avoid that risk that could cost you once you already have children. A lot of women bear this cross. A good guy is not enough, Jesus is enough - and if Jesus sent him he will cover you like Jesus does. You won’t have to direct him because Gd is directing him all you have to do is be kind, obedient, and pray before you take it to him.

All that you said is very true and I hate that you got blown up on (it does seem to have happened the way it should have) but have you heard that Catholicism is a form of idolatry?

[@QueenIsabella777]

It is the church Christ founded in his apostle Peter. He left specific instructions and Jesus dwells within the church. I think you can believe in Jesus outside of it but the church has the sacraments which help tremendously with overcoming sin and living a holy life. The church is of course corrupt but it still has authority, you just have to find the true traditional Catholics that are living the faith - this is like a 1-3%. Most people want religion that conforms to the modern world yet walking with Jesus is not comfortable at all. I think Christian’s miss out on the sacraments and experiencing the true holy presence of the Lord within the pure Catholic Church which is only a small percentage. Peace be with you!

One big addition to the asking. Please add the word "please." It makes a huge difference. Please is a simple word, but it shows so much more respect. Respect is the most important thing men must be shown to feel loved. Loyalty is right up there with respect, but respect comes first, it is needed to have loyalty.

[@Hannah-wz1si]

I found someone who treats me well and did the same thing 😢 I was afraid I had ruined everything between me and him because I let my past negative relationships affect how I treated him because I was assuming he was like the last guy I was with. I still feel bad about it, but I’ve already apologized and we have to move past it. The thing about relationships is that you will always be adjusting and learning about each other and how to love each other. My grandparents have been married for 50 years and they still are learning how to love each other and help each other.

[@themusicalhallway3422]

I like that. It reminds me of moments in Phineas and Ferb when one of the parents or Grandparents are surprised to find out something new about their spouse and the spouse replies back with, "You don't know everything about me." 😆

Mark has made me realise that in singleness GOD uses you (me)in soo many ways and transforms your mind and heart in becoming the best version of yourself 1stly for HIM, yourself and for all others who are already apart of your life and those to come, whether it be a spouse, or friend - a GODLY life transforms you entirely 🥰🙏🏽

I give up on men. The only ones I ever meet, are all about their sexuality and I can barely have a long enough conversation with them to find out if they are a fellow believer or not.

I am conflicted with number 3. If someone is disrespectful to you regardless of whether they believe they are "good" I feel it is necessary to set boundaries with them and let them know if they continue that behavior the relationship cannot continue. I do not see why someone will resent someone for that. It is assertiveness. If they do not like a woman who asserts respect through updholding convictions and values, they can leave

[@JillCee]

Boundaries can be set without a threat to end the relationship. How he responds will reveal where is mind is at. If he is not there, then time to move on.

[@live.life.secure.coaching]

Boundaries are about you, not the other person. You decide what your standards and non-negotiables are and what you will do if you notice the other person is on a different page. You communicate what you don't like if someone crosses the boundary but you shouldn't be threatening someone. If someone for example swears at you, you politely assert yourself by saying something like "I don't appreciate you speaking to me in that way because it's rude/disrespectful/hurtful/ungodly. I would appreciate it if you could stop." You asserting what you need isn't the boundary though. The boundary is in what you will do if you see the person not following through with the request. If this continues, then what? That's something you don't necessarily need to tell others, you can just set a time limit for how long you're willing to wait to see changed behavior and what things will look like if you don't. Ultimatums are essentially threats. They aim to manipulate someone into changing their behavior and doing what you want them to do. People have free will, we can't impose ours on them. They are not entitled to change. If someone doesn't propose to you by a certain time, you can communicate that you're looking for marriage and are moving on because things are not progressing at the pace you need. If at that point, the person changes their mind, great. A new discussion can be had, but to keep threatening the person hoping they'll just always do what you want them to do isn't healthy.

I told him if we kept sleeping together before the relationship wasn’t going to continue based on the fact I know what God wants for us in a relationship. He said it was an ultimatum but I was just expressing the damage it’s causing and that the relationship simply won’t last if we continue mainly because of the damage of trust it is causing.

[@oceandove]

He should enjoy being in you’re presence, not upset if sex is not present in the relationship. If he’s unhappy simply because you’re saving physical intimacy for marriage, it seems like that’s too important to him. Even more than God or just enjoying you’re companionship. God will bless you for you’re steadfast faithfulness. The bible says Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. A man God has for you will respect you’re desire to save intimacy for marriage. He would also not manipulate you through his words. Check out Dr Ramani and also RC Blakes both here on KZbin. I also like to listen to Mark this Apply Gods Word and thankful to have a ministry solely focused on being a Christian single. God bless ❤

I agree with the first one to a point. If a man has so much of an ego that me saying “hey I need this from you” trips him up, that is unhealthy. No one should have to phrase things so specifically so as not to trip someone up. That’s walking on eggshells. I know plenty of strong masculine me who are totally ok with their women saying “I need this from you” instead of almost begging “could you by any chance do this for me?” They understand their women have needs and they desire to meet them and also see her as a powerful yet feminine strength and are happy to oblige a woman who knows what she wants. I think it’s a sign of weakness for a man if he is so caught up on “she doesn’t ask politely”…

You make some good points; however, I wonder if the primary point Mark may be trying to make is about a regular pattern of quasi-disrespectful bossiness vs. the direct, but respectful clear communication. A "Good" man will have a low tolerance for being bossed around. His wife is not his mother or his boss. A "Good" man also has as his God-given mission to listen to her, to see her needs, and to serve her even if it inconveniences him, so I agree with you that a direct, but respectful request from his wife should not trip him up. I would even say there is a place for a wife to occasionally demand something from her husband, Biblically, in a respectful manner. But again, there is a difference between the occasional and a pattern and I wonder if Mark is talking about the pattern. Generally speaking, a wife who knows what she wants, but expresses it in a bossy manner is not a woman of Godly self-control - just the same as a man who knows what he wants but bosses his wife around is not a man of Godly self-control.

My ex wife did all of these things, particularly ultimatums and telling me what to do. My love for her turned into resentment and outright hatred eventually.

[@danilaroche1156]

I wouldn't divorce someone because of that. She didn't know any better. Maybe y'all reconcile?

[@Wyngs714]

@@danilaroche1156 I divorced her because she was abusing our children. She was a control freak and a violent one at that.

[@catshultz9045]

I’m so sorry

[@danilaroche1156]

Alot of women do this out of ignorance and toxic feminism. If she's willing to change..reconcile!

Oof. I have such a struggle with #2 and I have to keep working on it.

I guess i now understand much better when women tell me what to do, like they think I don't know better. I thought I was just being too sensitive.

Well I dont understand. All the men that were not for me, were actually very active. So when a man is not overly active, I feel he does not like me but doesnt have to be the case because he also doenst want to hurt me + is not desperate
