Learn to Spot the good Men

Proverbs 31:23 says
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
The Bible tells us that the virtuous woman who is the role model for Christian women,
was married to a man who had a good reputation, and who was respected by those in authority.

In all of the years that I have been working with women and discussing the things that trouble them, the number one issue that most women are challenged with is recognizing a man who would make a good husband.
Most every woman I've ever met wants a husband who will love her, cherish her, and stand by her in good times and in bad. She also wants a man who will be a responsible father, and provider and who will lead the family in a good and appropriate way.
For some women they have not often or even sometimes never been exposed to men of Godly standards and character. I've found that to be the case regardless of their economic situation and upbringing.
The challenge is knowing how to determine if a man is truly committed to making the daily effort to live according to the standards which have been set by God. It's not easy because most men are usually on their best behavior when there are no trials and tribulations to conquer. It's when life gets tough that that people show their weaknesses, fears, and insecurities.

Sometimes those things manifest in ways that are mentally, emotionally, and even physically abusive, and that is what leads to broken relationships and even broken spirits.

Knowing how to spot good men is not a characteristic that women are born with. It must be taught through wise counsel and sometimes even trial and error.

Even though many women have learned certain lessons the hard way, a lot of the common mistakes that most women make in relationships can be avoided, if the woman seeks the right information.

So is there a way to avoid the pain and damage that can result from two people connecting when one or both are not prepared and equipped to minister love and peace to each other rather than malice and confusion?

There absolutely is! God has provided guidance and instruction for women that gives them the power to be enlightened and protected from the pain that can come from not knowing who to trust with your heart.

There are certain characteristics of a man who honors God, and therefore has the ability to honor women out of his fear and reverence for God.
These are the kind of men who make good husbands and fathers.

It is up to the woman to make sure they can recognize these men in order to guard herself from the men who don't honor God.
Women should consider the fact that if a man does not respect God and his rules, how and why would he care about striving to be the kind of man that God requires him to be for you.

It is the respect for God's guidelines and standards that cause men to marry women and honor them rather than taking advantage of them. It is also those guidelines that help married couples weather the storms of of life, and ultimately experience the longevity and beauty of being a married couple.
God says my people perish for lack of knowledge. I say to any woman who wants to experience true love, it is wise to prepare yourself with the wonderful knowledge found in the principles that God has set concerning marriage in order to be a blessing to yourself, your husband, your children, and all those who witness your marriage union.

I've written a book where I share these wonderful principles in a practical and relevant way. It's called "5 Steps to the Alter"
I believe it's a must read for any Christian woman interested in preparing herself for marriage or even interacting with men. If that's you I recommend you get it today! It's in the bookstore at TonyaGlover.com.
I say to all women be wise, be safe, and live life virtuously!
