IcePrincessKRS Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 If I could think straight I would answer this question, but I've been protecting servers all day from vicious hackers. They should have curly hair and tan skin and er... you probably meant traits. They should BE CRAZY. Like me. Man... I seriously can't form a coherent thought.

DesiringMore Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 I wrote this email a little while ago...thought you might be interested:) ................. Hey everyone....today in sunday school we were talking about relationships, mainly a husband and a wife, but it pertained to any kind of relationship really....well, in the tape we watched, the guy talked about the 4 necessities to a relationship: 1. Security and commitment---we must feel secure and know that the commitment is there 2. Meaningful communication--without this what are our conversations really or our friendships, what do they mean if we cannot have meaningful communication? 3.Physical needs, a non-sexual touch from someone she loves--a hug, a pat on the back, a kiss, whatever the touch, it is a fact that women need this 12times a day 4.Romantical(for boy-girlfriend/husband and wife), emotional (friendship wise) experiences---flowers, card, balloons, etc. Have you ever thought about what makes a marriage last, a lasting friendship, a relationship remain? What makes you want to be with a person, long to hear their voice, or write them a letter out of the blue just to say hello? As i pray daily for my future husband, i ask myself what i desire, the characteristics, the relationship, priorities. (Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart--Psalm 37:4) along with praying for my future husband, i pray daily that i would be everything he desires and that he wouldn't settle for less than God's best, that i would be prepared daily to be all God wants me to be that i would be that best God will give another some day...lately i've been talking more and more about what i desire in a future husband, i am going to be 21 in 9days you know and its high time a new chapter in my life begins(if it is God's will that is)... well, i was cleaning my room(for all those that don't know, i've been working on my room since the beginning of the summer and am now 3/4 of the way finished!!!) and came across a scrap piece of paper dated 2/27/03...it was a list of what my heart desired for my future husband...i thought i would share with you what they were back in February...someday, i may share with you the recent list, but for now, i'll share this....... *a heart for God *church is a priority *studies God's word daily *fellowship with other Christians is a desire of his *servant, serving the Lord daily in some way *humor, but not to put others down only to make others laugh *sings praises to the Lord *plays the guitar and loves to sing/play for me *wants to make a difference in the world *loves children of all ages *loves me and is creative in the way he shows me *self-controlled *his heart is open to others, to me, and most of all God *listens...really listens *loves to watch movies, be outside, fish, play sports *adventurous *loves being with me, not only alone but with groups of friends hanging out---that i would bring him joy and happiness *respects and is respected *wants me to stay home with our kids and he works OR he stays home with our kids and i work *willing to share in the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, yardwork, etc. *believes in me, holds me up, supports me even when others don't every so often i make a new list of my heart's desire in my future husband because as i begin to grow, so do my desires..or atleast they go from being general to being more specific......i would say all four of the necessities are my desires in my future husband as i would say they are in all of us...... but as for a friendship i would say meaningful communication is something that is of great importance to me!!! what does God's word say about such things as a husband and a wife? Have you ever asked yourself what God desires from you, or what he desires from those you love? have you ever asked, especially if you're single at the moment what God's desire/his best is for you for your future husband/wife? these are questions we sometimes fail to ask and yet such important ones!!! since we had this lesson today in sunday school i decided to dig inside scripture for myself and see exactly what the words says and try to gain some understanding just what God calls of myself to be especially as a wife someday...so here goes.....I pray for you as you read it that you may have open hearts, minds, spirits, that God would work through this to bring light upon your life in some way..... 1Timothy 3:2-4 now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, termperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, ablet o teach, not given to drunkeness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. he must manage his own family well and see that his chilfren oben him with proper respect. *here is talks about an overseer of a church and what is desired of such a man--some of the same qualities we all look for in our mate or at least i do Proverbs 12:4 a wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. *do you desire to be a wife of noble character? 1corinthians 7:3-5 the husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and like wise the wife to her husband. the wife's body does not belong to her alone but also t her husband. in the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. then come together again so that satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Ephesians 5:22-28 wives, submit to your husbands as tot he Lord. for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. in this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. he who loves his wife loves himself. 1Peter 3:1-4 wives, in the same way be sumissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. *for those of you who are married to a non-believer, this is a good verse to hold onto---that we may be that example and they may be won over by this example.... Proverbs 31:30 charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the sawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. I hope this was a blessing as it has been very much of a blessing for me.... Brooke "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory, no good thing will be witheld from them that walk uprightly" ---Psalm 84:11 ...................................................

Matty_boy Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I want a woman who will challenge me as a man. I want someone with life experience, someone who always looks for the deeper meaning in everything. Someone with strong convictions. Someone who puts God before me, duh, but calls me to holiness as well. Someone who dresses modestly. Someone who will never give up on me, no matter how bad things get. Divorce is not an option. Strong maternal instinct. I don't know what else, but i'll let you know when i think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
