Enhance his joy. Respect his non-relational attributes. (things men respect in other men; hard worker, soldier, provider, etc.) If you are attracted to him physically. Accept his emotions without trying to change him. (often different than women's emotions) Responses to his good & bad behavior are reasonable. Allow yourself to need him. These are gold!

[@talonthorn]

That last one is a gem. When a woman is submissive (because she feels safe and trusts the man) and when she invites him to care for her, that can be very fulfilling to a man's heart. I believe a woman shows honor and respect for her man when she lets him care for her, and when she acknowledges that he is her provider above anyone else.

This help me navigate and anchor how godly marriage works. We all need respect not only a man.

[@VentiColdbrew_]

Loved the video mark please keep making these ❤ I cried during your video about praying for a spouse due to heartbreak after heartbreak and now I’ve been dating my godly man for over a year. Thanks to God and people like you

[@joshthesmith77]

Please pray for God to give me my wife.

[@ashleighb997]

I don’t know if there’s a way to speed up God’s will. I’ve been praying for a long time. I see His work of healing in my life, and how he’s changing me and giving me strength in areas where I was weak. I would say just explore in your heart and mind all the avenues and aspects of what marriage requires. That has helped me be a lot more considerate (and deliberate ) in my prayers. I’m divorced and have 3 children, I’m 43, so getting older and having kids ( and not wanting anymore!) makes it harder to find a good partner. I’ve dated.. maybe try online dating? Or at your church/work/school/gym, start talking and dating. Good bless

[@Pheonix1111]

Mark, I truly appreciate this video content. You have an excellent channel that everyone should watch and listen to regularly/daily. You help to reveal and explain the priceless wealth of information contained in the Bible and make it come alive. You help to save relationships and marriages according to God’s holy will. This is why God obviously blesses your effort and hard work. I am sincerely grateful to you for your helping people throughout the world. May God bless you Mark.

[@JesseOaks-ef9xn]

What you described is emotional maturity. God wants us to mature spiritually and emotionally. We need to immerse ourselves in Bible study and prayer.

[@AuntieSenSen]

Spiritual and emotional maturity are linked together. You can’t have one without the other

[@evah.5361]

And taking time to heal

[@LiveWelll]

Marriage is not meant to bring happiness. It's meant to make one holy. The worst of each spouse will be exposed from each spouse as they journey through life together. Happiness will naturally flow once they learn to have a God centered marriage.

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

I would say it’s meant for both. Ultimately it’s meant for God’s glory

Thank you, very helpful!

[@ChristopherNabours-xd1gz]

Accurate. If I hurt your feelings address it respectfully. I love women and don't want to mistreat someone if I'm being too harsh and I'm not aware of it because I'm frustrated because I love you and you're not listening because I can say some pretty shocking things that are unfortunately true and people can turn around and be like this guy's an idiot or you just this guy is a nut when the reality is I'm telling you how to not get yourself killed. And also pains me to be with someone who is so strong and independent that they don't need no man. I want to show my love by taking care of someone.

[@AshleyHume-bz2id]

I respect that as a strong woman but I do love a man who can provide for and take care of me and someday our family. That's how I think God made it to be originally. Basically in summary I think when we love Christ more than anyone or anything we'll show His love to each other a whole lot better.

[@ChristopherNabours-xd1gz]

@@AshleyHume-bz2id I loooove taking care of a woman and some babies. I'm focused on building a 10,000 ft² or more house that is off grid and away from society so that not even society collapsing will effect a wife and kids.

[@ChristopherNabours-xd1gz]

@@AshleyHume-bz2id I don't know if you're being facetious or being for real but I've never been more in need of a woman who would give up her career for being a stay at home mom/house wife because when I'm at work working this new job I'm not going to be able to focus on anything else during the shift. Having a woman there to coordinate would be great. She can still have like a nutrition business if she is into that but a woman who can juggle housewife stuff and her own business is what I need. There's a reason I'm into the woman that I'm into. Hopefully the Lord provides soon.

[@jacquelinephillipstaylor5212]

I love these! Thank you!

[@Michael-vc2cs]

Pretty good video! Physical attraction comes first but I will never fall in love with or marry a woman who doesn’t respect me. So respect is often paramount. If a woman can do this for a man, a lot of other issues which could arise will actually take care of themselves. The sad thing is, there will probably be a plethora of people showing the feminist infection which has run rampant through the church in this comments section. In almost every domain women have been programmed to disrespect men, especially family men.

[@Antonio-n8c]

specially in church most young ladies dont respect men

[@debbiebramwell]

Respect is so important. 🙏🏽🫶 There's plenty of nice respectful woman out there. God has a special lady for you.

Feminism has wreaked havoc and disrespecting men has become normalized. Keep in mind, that alot of women have been abused, molested or raped. The disrespect is often unconscious so be wise and dig deeper .

Thank you for your guidance means so much🙏🏻✝️❤

[@DioniWise87]

Mark, thanks so much for sharing your perspective. 😊 Your tips confirm what I’ve been reading in “Fascinating Womanhood” by Helen Andelin about how to treat men. I HIGHLY recommend my fellow sisters read this book ASAP. It’s probably the No. 2 book in my life right now after the Bible. As a woman raised in feminist culture, I needed this book to better understand men and recalibrate my system. I’m single. I tried Mrs. Andelin’s assignment to express my appreciation for a man’s masculine qualities on my father (Mark’s points 2 and 5) and he literally cried tears of joy. Ladies, the power of the tongue really is powerful and can do wonders on the men in our lives when wielded positively and in a God-honoring way.

[@deepakdutt4771]

The Bible says that men and women are not exactly independent of each other.

[@holisticmindbodyhealth3477]

That sounds like avoidant attachment.

[@Godwidsuj]

If u have some time could u perhaps answer my question? What could it possibly mean if a guy says he will continue to pray for me cuz i am still a sister in christ? is he just saying that he will pray for me cuz we are good friends? And last time he said i think you are an amazing girl and I think any guy would be lucky to have you. Is this just a polite way of him turning me down?

[@Godwidsuj]

I actually a bit confused about this...if i am an unbeliever I understand.. But i dont get why he said he will pray for me cuz i already told him I am a christian.. Although i did say i am going through a hard time in life... But i dont think i have ever prayed for a guy who is going through a hard time unless i was a bit interested in him.. I am confused could u perhaps maybe make a video about this if u are okay with that?? Or maybe either just a message on youtube. I think that would really help ... Thank you

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

If I had to guess I think he was just being polite and saying he’s not interested in a relationship with you. But I don’t know as the details matter. I bet you have a hunch one way or the other, so pray about that and trust your own assessment :)

[@Godwidsuj]

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger really thanks a lot for the reply it really helped me a lot. I definitely felt that God was telling me that he was not my future spouse cuz he told me so but i guess i am just worried about ever finding a devoted christian of someone like him in my community cuz i have never really met someone who tries to live a life pleasing to the lord so far like him. But i will still keep praying that God leads me to the spouse he wants me to be with one day. Again thank you a lot!! I really appreciate the videos that u make on your channel! Wish u all the best in everything that u do and hope that God always leads u to the right path ☺☺

Thanks for the opinion based, non biblical advice. You have your opinion then put a scripture under it, that does not biblical.

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

It’s called application :) hence the KZbin name :)

[@wgw808]

I see biblical relationship advice in title.

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

"biblical" and "exegetical" are different. If you're looking for a passage of Scripture unpacked through exegesis, this is not the channel. I'm not preaching sermons and I openly tell people that. I'm offering biblical counsel, which means advice governed by principles in Scripture. The Scriptures don't talk about dating, social media, and other moderns issues in a direct way. But the Scriptures can be applied to any issue or question. Your view of how to learn from the Bible is too narrow. If you are looking for a direct verse about every question, you will have a lot of unanswered questions. The Bible is not an encyclopedia on every topic known to man. But it has all the wisdom needed for any topic. So I disagree with you. God bless :)

[@wgw808]

Eisegesis

[@wgw808]

Eisegesis (not biblical) vs Exegesis. And pretty liberal eisgesis at that. Just in my opinion. Look I realized your trying to help people but at the expense of scripture for monetary gain is where people need to be more responsible.
