If your trying to get a man most men don`t want to hear that. In fact it tells me that since you don`t really need a man then the relationship will be shakey. According to the bible if you are truely married you would be yoked together permanetly with no independent but one union like a normal couple should be. I`m sorry but every woman I know that staes this word is either divorced or headed in that direction.

You have the definition of independent wrong. I can say that I don't "need" a man, but I may "want" a man. There is a difference. Ask yourself, do you really want I women that is "dependent", that means you will have to work a lot harder to take care of home. Wouldn't you feel better knowing that if you were with a women and you got laid off, or got into a situation that you needed someone to help, that she has something to offer you. By the way, I am an independent women and I'm not divorced or headed in that direction, my boyfriend finds the "independent" thing very sexy.

Wow...you're gonna be single for quite some time. Independent simply means you can think for yourself and that you can take care of yourself. If a man is threatened by that, he doesn't need a woman, he needs thearpy. A real man is secure and can handle the fact that a woman can take care of herself. A real woman can keep her self respect, think for herself and still have a happy relationship. It's only when weak men who are highly insecure within themselves come along, do those independent women have problems. Sounds like you might have some issues.
The bible doesn't say that a woman is a mindless, souless person after marriage. It's a two way street. It's a partnership. A man thinking for a woman isn't a partnership. Get over yourself and at least learn to quote the bible correctly if you really want to prove your point.

We use that word so that we let the man know right up front that we are not to be messed with. It's like a big force field that we think is going to protect us from being pushed around. Now that I'm 31 and married for 6 years I have learned that it doesn't do sh** except for push men away. I am now able to take care of myself however, dependant upon my loving husband for more than just carrying my grocery bags into the house.

Independent means we can look after ourselves. It doesnt mean we are asking for a divorce just because we can juggle careers, relationships, home responsibilities and everything else. Independence is an extremely important part of life, and I like being able to stand on my own two feet, and not have to worry about people like you disappointing me.
Marriage isnt about being one person, its about two people sharing their lives together.
I think your the one heading for divorce with an attitude like that.
PS. Don't clingy women turn men off anyway?

Well, because women have always been dependent on men. We have been working hard on changing that and i think for the most part we all want that. We want to feel that we can do things for ourselves. We can be married and still be independent, i guess it all depends on how strong any particular relationship is if it can be tested by something like that.

i think it means a woman who is financially independent.and has her own money to buy the things she likes and does not have to beg her husband for money. now a days there are a lot of women making a lot more money than man and some man can't deal with it.

That's a singlewoman's defense mechanism to let you guys know we can take care of ourselves(no pun intended). There are too many lazy guys living off women these days andwe just want to protect our independence!

So what? Some of us don't want men (and we DEFINITELY don't need one!). You act as if a relationship is better than being able to take care of yourself and living your own life. It's not.

Because it applies to both women AND men. One must be independent.......fully whole within oneself.....before a successful partnership can succeed.
