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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
