This post may not have a direct bearing on "A Word from God," but it does relate to how God views the sexes, which He deliberately made different and unequal in His own wisdom…
What Is It I Want
In a Woman?
Well – let's see. I want a woman who is:
- ...understanding and caring....not necessarily physically strong. If I had wanted a physically strong woman, I would have married a weight lifter with a body of steel. That I don't want. I want my woman to be soft, like women are supposed to be. When I am looking for a shoulder on which to lean, it is not necessarily to impose on it all my weight, but to place my temporarily unsteady hand on it for the mutual warmth and comfort of both of us. Above all, I don't want a strong hard shoulder – make it soft and warm with the assurance that it is there as a help "meet" or suitable for me
- ....soft and tender in her emotions. If I had wanted a woman bereft of tender emotions, I would have found a modern-day Jezebel somewhere and married her.
- ...spiritually astute. One who knows what it means to trust God and who shares in my admittedly limited dreams and aspirations.
- ...capable of being lover, friend and confidant.
When I think of all the reasons for a man to love a woman, I can only think about you -- my very own
Pat.
I guess I'm a hopeless romantic...
