Ok, onto something even less edifying. I recently read a blogger's take on how shallow both Christian men and women are in terms of being picky about their spouse. And you know what, he's absolutely right. Partially, because of the society which we live in, we are taught from a young age to value physical beauty... which leads to both men and women desiring more than just holiness in a partner. We all desire physical attraction, a similar life vision, chemistry, and holiness wrapped up into one package for our life partner. It's an unfortunate fact of life that both women and men have such high standards. It leads to alot of bitterness towards the opposite sex for having "such high standards" and alot of just self-pitying people who feel as if they are just "settling" when they marry or date "below their standards." Of course, I think this leads to alot of unhappy marriages that end in divorce but anyhow, I'm digressing.... upon recognizing this sad fact, I think there are two ways to approach this problem. First, we could all lower our standards... which probably would be the easiest way... or we could reach to improve ourselves *gasp*. Study His word more, pray more, build our relationship with God, work out more at 24 Hour Fitness, be sure to have proper grooming each day, read more, make an effort... overall, cultivate the desire to improve... There's an old song that was sung by the pop-group All-4-One, entitled "I want to be a better man" which pretty much sums up my attitude on all of this... to me, we should all want to be a better man for our future wife. So, who wants to come with me to 24 Hour tomorrow night to work out? Who wants to come pray afterwards? Any takers?
