Why You Should Marry A Man Who Puts You Second

How do you expect a man to lead you if he's not looking first to God to lead him.

Yes, you heard me correctly. Marry a man who makes you his second priority in life.

Being a member in today's society often means falling victim to the many stigmas that are placed on almost everything in our daily lives, to how we should dress, where we should eat, and who we should date.

It's most womens dream to be swept away by a knight in shining armor who will save us from our distress and lead the path before us and make it straight.

What we have to realize is that none of that is possible unless your man is putting God first and you second.

How do you expect a man to lead you if he's not looking first to God to lead him.

One of my favorite quotes was spoken by Max Lucado. He states, "a woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him to find her".

I remember stumbling upon this quote as a young freshmen girl in high school. I remember thinking that the statement was very plausible, except I never had heard any quotes about men leading women closer to our creator.

I'm not sure if as women we dont fully believe that godly men still exist in this world, or if we just got sick of getting let down by people who dont exceed or even come close to meeting our expectations.

Regardless, godly men are alive and well people! And if you are having trouble finding them, maybe start evaluating your own lifestyle.

How we portray ourselves as women will directly reflect what type of men we attract.

Sometimes we complain about wanting a godly man, but are we acting as godly women?

Some of us end up settling for men who put us second in life. They put "their boys", work, schooling, sports, and who knows what else before the women in their life.

Marry a man who puts you second in his life, but only to the Lord up above.

A man that is so focused on Gods will for his life that he is led to you by Him. To lead you, to love you, and to ultimately help build a stronger relationship between you and God.

The right relationship wont distract you from God, it will bring you closer to God.

The truth of it all is that if a man isnt following God, he isnt fit to lead.

If he doesnt have a relationship with God, he wont know how to have a relationship with you.

And if he doesnt know God, he doesnt know real love.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
