I would like to know what this saying means and how you think it applies today. Here it is:
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek HIM first to find her"

One part of its meaning is that a woman should be fully involved in her faith in Christ and be seeking Christ's help in choosing her mate. If a woman puts seeking a mate before her own relationship with Christ she will not likely find the man Christ would want for her.
If a woman is deeply in love with Christ the men who seek her company will either join her in her love of Christ or move away because such devotion to Christ will convict a man of superficial relationship to Christ.
Just remember, there are no perfect men and no perfect women. That's why I try to put my faith in Christ ahead of my faith in my husband. My spouse isn't perfect; I'm sure not either. But Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever. He is consistent. The more I love Christ, the better my marriage usually goes!

One can interpret the seeking of the Lord in this particular quote to signify the discovery of the Divine Light. In relation to a woman, such a thing would be consummated in marriage. Thus, one finds such things through God.
In reference to the woman's heart being buried in Christ, no woman should ever indulge in pleasures of the flesh except with he has been ordained by God to ravage her.

Simply that any man who wants her for his would have to be a follower of Christ himself. In other words, she would not be available to any man who was not a believer in Christ.

You should be more into serving god than looking for a man,
If that is what you need he will provide that.
By giving you the mate you deserve so that you both may pray and serve god as he so wished
there is that saying
the family that stays together prays together

A man has got to be queer for christ before he can be straight for his woman???
That's the way I read it.

Its called using a man's sex drive to create more followers. we all know some guys will believe anything to get laid. he's basically whoring out his female followers to bring in the men.

Too much work unless the broad has mega-dollars to share.

You have to trust God to provide you with a mate.

If I were Christian, I'd believe it were true. I'm not, so I don't.
