proverbs 31 woman?

Question

seek ye 1st the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you...
i am striving 2 b a proverbs 31 woman. the closer i grow 2 God, the higher my relationship standards have become. what standards do you set? what qualities MUST your mate have?

mr mr - No one can go higher than the Lord Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 31 extolls the virtuous woman.she does good and not evil. she is hard working. she is practical. strength and honor are her clothing.
"Favor is decitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."

the book of proverbs is a book of practical wisdom. i am seeking to harness that wisdom to become more Christ-like.

Your question makes no sense to me - please clarify.

Answer 2

Proverbs 31 woman?
I thought you were a Christian...They are are 2 distinctly different dispensaions of truth and grace. A woman that claims Christ as her Lord will definately not be a Proverbs 31 woman. In fact she will be hated by those woman as Jesus was hated by the Proverbs men of His day. True Christians don't make the best spouses as their focus, attention, and loyalty is to their Master and their obligations are to the lost.

Answer 3

Whatever you want them to have. It's up to you. If you want them to have the same qualities then you must make that clear.

YOU must set the standard.

First, your mate shouldn't even get a look at your body until AFTER marriage.

Now, any man who'll go for that has strong possibilites!

How many men out there will marry a woman when they've never seen her naked? How many? Sight unseen!?

Decide what your standards are and make the man meet up to them.

Look to God, Jesus and the Bible for help in those standards.

If you're one of those Christians who "tries the marriage bed out" before the marriage, then why even bother to live the provebrs?

You gonna live it, make sure the man knows he don't get nothing until after marriage and you won't decide upon him until you know him better and see if he meets up to your standards!

Now let's see you go do that! You do realize about 98% of the men out there will say, thanks but no thanks, right off the top!

Living a good, Christian life is not easy!

Answer 4

Way to go. The standard has been set so low by so many people at least there are still a some who try.
Men: Love your wives as Christ loves the church. They are to cherish them which is a sacrificial love. By living with a sense of service to your spouse typically the love returns 10 fold.

Answer 5

Hon, you are better off concentrating on your relationship with God. If He is first in your life, then you will become more like Him, then what He desires for you will become your desires. If you submit your will to Him, and pray to Him to bring you the right person (frankly I think people are better off single, I've been both) then God will bring you the right person.

It doesn't really matter what you think his qualities ought to be. In hindsight, I have often found what I wanted was short-sighted and silly, and God knew better. So it is on a bigger scale, so it is with everything. Seek God!!! Don't worry about standards & qualities & judging & seeking- Seek God!

Answer 6

Standards: Find a man that has qualities you value and can be proud of. Love is fleeting. It requires work so you must search for someone that you can invest your time and effort so they bring value to your life. Since you are seeking the Kingdom of God then I can assume you are looking within discovering your values and principles (you must find these within yourself-no person/religion/philosophy can tell these to you). Always look for someone you feel is slightly better than yourself because if you accept and give yourself to a lesser then you demean yourself and have difficulty finding lasting love and happiness.

Answer 7

Request the FREE book, "The Secret of Family Happiness" published by Jehovah's Witnesses.

It is a doctrinally nuetral oriented book that makes practical application of the biblical roles of the husband, wife, and children.

Answer 8

explain this too me. If your a Christian. Christ like.

How can you go HIGHER than Christ?

Your not saying the Proverb woman is HIGHER than Christ Himself?

I have never read where a person is to be proverblike.

Answer 9

My mate has to be a born again Christian, he has to love God more than he loves me and he has to be a seeker of God's love. He also has to be able to be strong, and show that he can be the head of a household...that's more than just financial, it's about being the emotional support of our family. That includes me as his wife and our children. In order for him to lead, he has to know the word of God and walk according to it. Keep going on the path you're going. God will truly honor you.

Answer 10

Hey me too! P31 all the way! My husband must be a God-fearing, loving, honest, caring, sharing, supportive, intelligent, open, responsible, virgin, Christian.
