It was not easy to unteach that "I am woman-hear me roar" paradigm, but I love him opening the door, ordering for me, and making the final decison of key things. I feel safe and protected in that arrangement and empowered fully. I love a strong godly man who knows his role and allows me to operate in my role and gift.

Women were called to the position of helpers, while men to the position of providers (leadership). The truth is that most christian women especially those who had understood the spiritual demands of God for their lives and marriage, are willing to fully submit to their husbands. The problem lies on the fact that most christian man out there haven't understood their spiritual calling in marriage. And they input a heavy burden on their wives, constantly reminding them their need for submission. That becomes spiritual oppression. It's wonderful to have a wife that fits into all these traits and carries such qualities, however men should not diminish their roll while ignoring that they have another human being closer to them who has feelings, wants, needs and desires. The goal here is to figure out together how to cope to each person's demand and work together as ONE! Commitment requires effort from both sides for none is less nor better than the other. But knowing that God is there to help you, mold you and mature you in this walk together, is the greatest satisfaction of all. May God bless you all in Jesus name!

I like how the attributes of women described in this video are NOT physical ones. They all have to do with one’s character. The world bombards women and men with physical stereotypes that are supposed to be attractive/desirable at every turn. It can be debilitating, especially if you are dealing with a physical problem. For example, I suffered for years with scalp challenges that caused hair loss. This started happening when I was excited about putting myself out there in Christian circles to meet people-Christian men to be exact. The Enemy capitalized on my pain and used it-and still uses it-to keep me withdrawn from socializing. I really had to be intentional about prayer and Bible study to understand what God’s description is of a Christian woman. I also wanted to know the truth about Christian men. I discovered that for Christians-those who genuinely pursue the heart of God-are not “stuck” on outer appearances, but biblical characteristics. I mean at the end of the day, I can have hair like Repunzel😂, but if I am not biblically agreeable, feminine, affectionate, and selective, Christian men are not going to be interested. Ruth had a godly character and Boaz noticed that before any physical attributes.💯🔥💯🔥💪🏽

If you only address one side of the issue, the one side will never fully understand what the other is looking for. Our culture loves to beat up men but then shout them down whenever they voice their desires in a romantic partner. Our culture also loves to try and alter what men want in women and what women want in men. Mark’s videos help provide clarity. In reality, the Bible outlines what men and women SHOULD be looking for in a partner. Those who follow cultural guidance in this manner are bound for disappointment

Mark, I agree with your points, and you did a great job explaining. Ephesians 5:21 says to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”. I am not offended by the word submit, because it is a beautiful thing to have a man worthy of that type of respect! However, I am so over men using 5:22 to prove their point, yet conveniently “overlook” the verse right before it. Why is this? We have been beat over the head with this verse, when the Bible teaches the principle of being submissive to each other. Please respond. Thank you, kindly.
@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger2 жыл бұрын
we must not interpret the Bible through one verse rather one verse through the whole of the bible. When you have questions, it's always helpful to look at other Scriptures to help you understand the full context. My understanding is that verse 21 relates to Christians in general (which is why it is often edited into a different section in the ESV) and then verses 22 is about marriage. Throughout the Bible we are told to submit to one another (Like in Philippians 2) but we are also told to submit to our leaders (like in Hebrews 13). So does this mean we leaders should submit to those they follow? My point is, I think there is different context for each of these statements in Ephesians 5:21-22 because it would be contradictory to say husband submit to wives and wives to husbands in 21 but then specifically highlight a husband's leadership and a wife's submission in the next section (Ephesians:5:22-33). The bible emphasizes a wife's submission and husband's sacrifice for the wife rather than co-leadership and co-submission. But as Christians in general, we should all be "submitting" to one another, but that is different than the specific marriage roles

Dating has been so disappointing. I’ve been on dates with many men whom the world would consider a perfect catch. Good school, doctor or lawyer, but they never planned dates. It was always “why don’t we meet up and walk around and then get dinner”. That was fine w me. During dinner conversation was great but they texted me for next dates and there’d be no solid plan. I went with the flow. Then during a 10 hr second date I thought I met the one. But all they wanted to do was end with sex and when I refused the momentum slowed down drastically. One of them during dinner asked me about my sexual past and when I revealed it was little he was shocked and thought it was weird I never had sex in high school or college. Weird how a guy would ask or want a woman to have a large sexual past. Especially since we are both 36! Red flags but it was frustrating. Sorry for my rant.

I encourage you NOT to date casually. Be friends with a Christian first and only go out if he's serious and intent on finding his wife. He must have a plan.

Men focus a little too much on outer beauty. That is sad because beauty fades with time. Today’s men are very confused. They want a pure woman but are far from pure themselves. I do not hold out a lot of hope for finding a great guy at this stage of life, my 50s, because often men my age want a 25-year-old, even if women that young have no interest in dating daddy!
@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger2 жыл бұрын
yes, worldly men do that. On the flipside, worldly women focus too much on a man's money. But as Christians we should all be living to a different standard :) God bless!

Lisa, I’m in my 50’s and the idea of dating a gal in her 20’s makes me sick. But at the same time I’d like to date a pretty lady. I think there are pretty women who are in their 50’s. From what little I can see if you in your profile pic, you look nice. 😁

Thank you for this video. You touched on a lot of things that have previously been a blockage towards my understanding and acceptance of a biblical God, specifically, in the many ways worldly men both want sexually pure women yet dont figuratively allow for selectivity in the scope of those same women, often using the bible as their vehicle of denigration. I just need a reminder that while guarding our hearts, purity, is important, that the unfortunate delivery of these messages through these certain groups shouldnt keep me from the important points the Bible really has to offer and not turn it away because someone has previously used that message in a selfish manner. I do wonder about men not looking for an accomplished women though. I imagine at the end of the day, a man would want someone who could hold mentally stimulating conversations and keep up with them when they talk about their passions. Seems an education would almost be a prerequisite to that type of fulfilling connection. I am not a man so I can't say. I just know I feel a lot of pressure in that arena to go back to Uni, not just for myself which is the main component, but so I can match with someone I could be a good team mate to. Maybe a mentally stimulating partner is what I want, and so I'm projecting here little. I do realize a woman can be both accomplished and loving and I hope to be both.

I would say personally as a woman I had to 'place on the altar' to God 👉🏼my👈🏼 preferences in a man, AND TIMING when God will have me have a God lead husband in my life. I am still single, and I also had to accept it is not my season yet, or maybe it's not my future husband's season yet and God is still working behind the scenes where only HE SEES. I hope this helps someone out there. I am single and if you can submit your timing of when you think it should happen and also let go of your "type", God knows us best and He is working where we don't see. Trust Him 🙏🏼🌱

About the women who are agreeable and capable of submitting to authority… I can attest to this strongly. They were a lot of what I would call masculine females in positions of power at the last church I was at … they all would get them men to do things by coercion and manipulation, strong, arming, and basically just barking orders at all the men and women… then complaining that no one would help them… Our family showed up and I had been convicted many many years ago about these attitudes in women in our culture because I grew up with a very similar attitude in my household, and it kind of bothered me … so I’ve been actively trying to work through all of that early childhood influence to become more feminine. I was at a point where I was very different from a lot of women around me and it comes with a lot of this taste from those women, but I also find it changes your interactions with men . Back to what was going on at this church : I came in with a kind, caring genuinely interested in others, loving, and serving attitude… very agreeable shared my opinion when asked for it, but then let the people in charge make the decisions… if I was asked to do something I would do if I was asked to something I would do and then give other people the space to be able to do what they could do and not bark orders at people. I took time to ask about themselves how they were doing and assisting where I was capable …. if I needed help, I asked and thanked them for their help afterwards… I would sometimes even cook or bring something nice for people to share if they were willing to help me out as a thank you as well. The attitudes and reactions from the men were astonishing . I began to not have to ask for anything to be done for me by certain men at the church because of my attitude because of how feminine I was acting … because I showed that I actually cared not only for what the church was doing and it as a group but also for the individuals that were in the church. I invested in them that were appropriate as a female. They were several men that would bend over backwards for me, and I wouldn’t even have to ask for help to lift something to carry something in or to step in and help if some kids were misbehaving , even if they were mine… The other women could understand why it seemed like over the course of eight or nine months that I was able to garner this kind of attitude in the men, and they all were mad as heck when they found out it was just because I was acting like a genuinely nice Traditional female that wasn’t barking orders like a feminist at everybody. And that’s where the sadness came … instead of embracing what looks like worked and caused harmony in the church; these women decided to spread rumors that I was having a ruining peoples lives and ultimately caused the church to fall apart through rumors and gossip that were just believable to cause problems… So instead of learning by example and seeing something good happening and keeping it going and changing, they decided to tear it down because they would rather have what they were doing work and instead of seeing what actually can work when men and women work together in their appropriate roles . It was heartbreaking … it ruined a lot of friendship for my husband. I felt like I had people that felt like ripped from me because the end of the lies and gossip had gotten believable enough that some of my dearest friends we still won’t talk to me. It’s a shame too because it was amazing to see just for myself and for a few other women that are still friends with me how important is for women to fulfill their true roles in the church and as a woman and how we are made to act according to how God made us and with the redemption of Christ and the Holy Spirit inside of us just how redeemed woman can completely change the atmosphere of a place and bring so much care and positive influence that I can begin an entire environment and it only needs to be one woman. The problem is is if men don’t that woman when the other woman don’t like it, the fruit of that is usually destruction of whatever group that is. More of us begin to step into our true feminine nature that God has made us to be. I believe we can start showing those women that are hurting and using feminism as a control tactic through their pain that they can let go of that pain. … I grew up in a place where every and I was for a time but then I learned a better way… and I’m so grateful to God that he showed me this and has been continuing to show me what biblical womanhood is… There is hardly a day that those people in my church family aren’t on my mind or in my prayers… some of them I deeply loved and cared for as a brother or sister in Christ…. I pray one day maybe reconciliation as possible and even if that doesn’t happen until eternity… I trust that maybe whatever God has been doing in me and the way I tried to act was a positive positive influence and those people even today… that maybe they through the gossip and lies eventually and see the good.

it's really hard to find a man right now who has leadership qualities....many men nowadays are afraid to take responsibilities. that is why i believe in the power of prayer to find a man who can be a leader to our family and also love and respects a woman. and same as woman now adays are advocate of women empowerment....don't get me wrong about it but women empowerment should also have boundaries and limit that some women don't understand it . let us allow men to be men and us women to be a women. that is how God lately teaches me . i am hoping that the Lord will help me find a husband in God's will and His own time.

Good advice. If both parties have a true relationship with Jesus and a true understanding of what the bible says.... or at least are willing to make an effort to attend classes at church, or reading the bible and praying together to learn and grow, than your good. Because when you have a relationship with Jesus and your talking to him throughout the day every day, and your main focus is Jesus, He will give you wisdom, discernment, and peace. Number one thing I'm looking for is someone who has the fruits of the spirit and a knowledge of how God wants us to date and how we are to be when we're married. God will take care of the rest
