What Women Want?

Well here are the answers I recieved, I took all their answers and I looked for recurring themes and three jumped out. Actually before I give you those answers, here is an interesting detail about their responses; almost none of the responses said anything about physical beauty or features (Except for one or two who expressed a desire for someone who takes showers and cleans himself)
So here are their responses, starting with #3, the ladies expressed the desire to be with a GODLY MAN who wasn’t creepy or a weirdo about his life and faith. There were lots of emphasis in their responses about the need for Christian men who weren’t TIMID about expressing their faith in public and living it in private. Some mentioned that they found attractive men who weren't afriad to express their love for Jesus.
#2 – almost consistently in all the response, the ladies expressed the desire to be with a godly man who knew how to COMMUNICATE! ( …to listen attentive and respond intelligently). Fellas, we gotta "up"our skills in this area. I know it's much easier to keep it all locked up in the dome, but leaving it in storage doesn't foster intimacy with the girl in your life.
And the most important quality that almost every response had was this, #3 – the ladies expressed the desire for a godly man who would TAKE MORE INITIATIVE in the relationship. That includes manning up to ask her out, manning up to take lead in the relationship and manning up to see your promises through.
Almost every response I received had SOME FORM OF THAT LAST ANSWER; it was a little eye opening because these ladies were in essence echoing what the bible already says God has created men to do in relationships – TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND LEAD!! If you recall, when God created Eve from Adam, he didn’t create her from his head so she could rule over him; that would be feminism. He didn’t create her from his feet so he could dominate and trample over her; that would be chauvinism. He fearfully and wonderfully created her from his side to be equal with him; protected by him; and loved by him. But, within the context of that relationship, GOD has entrusted men with the role of initiating and leading.
The apostle Paul draws a comparison between the role men should be playing in a relationship and the role in which Jesus serves the church. He says in EPHESIANS 2:25-27 “…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, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. ”
Do you hear the call for men to STEP UP and lead in those verses? Here is the reality; masculine initiative is the foundation of a biblical marriage (your role doesn’t end when you get married either – it’s a lifelong commitment to the girl in your life!). So, in light of all of that, "fellas, if you want to be married, then pursue godliness in your life, find a godly gal, treat her right and communicate in a way that makes her feel loved, talk to her parents, pop the question, tie the knot, and start making babies!!"
