       Women, whether married or not, also like it when we protect them. They want to feel like they are having a good time. They typically want us to have calm attitudes and not be critics or complainers. We should not have ‘Grumpy, Old Man Syndrome.’ Bragging can be a big turn off, and sometimes can provoke jealousy. These things are true for both dating and for marriage. Really, you have to understand that marriage is really like committed dating, in a way. The husband should take his wife out on dates when married. The wife should seek to be attractive to her husband. Neither should let their looks go, as if it doesn’t matter. It does matter. Married people have to take care of their needs for each other, both emotional and physical. But, going back to our main discussion today, in talking about women, we note for you ladies who are single, that you should be seeking to please the Lord until he provides your man for you. For any of us who are single, we should be focusing on God and seeking him as first, and God will provide for us when the time is right. The Apostle Paul has stated about single women, “the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband” (1 Corinthians 7:34, ESV).
