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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
