What He Must Be if He Wants to Marry My Daughter
I've appreciated Voddie's commitment to the family and God's order for the home for years. His teaching on this topic reveals a solid grasp of what is needed to lead and guide a family. In order to lead, a man needs a woman willing to follow.
Many conservative Christian young women want to be full-time homemakers and mothers, and many want to homeschool their children. This takes fortitude, the ability to work hard, industriousness, and a strong walk with the Lord. Educated mothers can raise educated children.
There are men who want a traditional family to lead and care for. This requires a plan and intentionality.
My advice to men: work hard at becoming a man who can provide stability spiritually, emotionally and financially for a family. Be men of integrity; finish what you start, and do what you say you will do. Get advice from the type of man a quality girl will seek out.
My advice to young women: work hard serving those around you, have a job where you can use your talents and support yourself should you end up not marrying, and cultivate modest femininity. Men don't want a girl who looks like she's waiting around for a meal ticket.
No one expects perfection in a young man or woman, but that doesn't mean there aren't standards. ♥
