Admin	What's up with standards? Posted : 6 Mar, 2013 01:55 AM Saw a post most recently that really made me think. I know that some of us guys aren't really close to being gentlemen but most ladies have standards that are just out there.. Everyone has preferences i know but there's this thing about wanting to be treated in a specific way that i tend to think scares alot of brothers ho might make good partners. So i ask is there any Biblical backing for some of the standards you have and don't you think your Father will protect you from wolves in sheep skin by giving you warnings when the wrong type of guy comes. (i would appreciate if i didn't get stick :laugh:) Post Reply

To love her as Christ loves the church. To cherish her. To nurish her. To see her as a glorious spotless vessle. Men in general see women as objects to be obtained. God gives us the privilage to take a woman with her many emotions and express unconditional love and care. To be strong men of honor that protect our ladies and any other. When you have learned how to love a woman you then will know what it means to be truly a man. Post Reply
share1033 View Profile History	What's up with standards? Posted : 14 Mar, 2013 01:45 PM I agree God does tell men how to treat women. To love them as they love God. The problem is many women don't set high enough standards so when one does a man doesn't know how to deal with it. Post Reply
View Profile History	What's up with standards? Posted : 15 Mar, 2013 04:30 AM As Christian men, it is rather obvious that we have been instructed to love our wives. My argument was never in this. What i was aiming to address is the 'other' standards women have or put for potential partners. I know someone might think..not all who say are christians are christians indeed..so maybe optimums are their to 'sieve' the real from the fake. In the process, don't you think that some of the would-be-good partners get scared off? Don't you think that as God's daughters, He will protect you from the wrong people using His means? Don't you think they are kind of selfish as in people say what 'they' want by seeking what will benefit the self? God Bless you Post Reply

Posted : 15 Mar, 2013 07:17 AM I think standards are important otherwise people would just go off with whoever came along, although sometimes some women may go to far with it i agree. i think the point is that if u set standards they should be really realistic.

IowaGirl View Profile History	What's up with standards? Posted : 15 Mar, 2013 10:47 AM Agreed. Standards should be realistic. No woman should expect a man to be perfect or to never make mistakes. But some standards are neccessary. Also, it should go the opposite way, too. No guy should expect a girl to be perfect or to never make mistakes. However, every guy should have standards that they look for, too. Post Reply

View Profile History	What's up with standards? Posted : 18 Mar, 2013 04:36 AM So here is an exercise for anyone who has a problem with anothers standards. Make a mental slide scale in your mine with the most beautiful person you can imagine on the right and the most repolsive person you can imagine on the left. Now where did you move your scale? If you did not move it all the way to the left you are being hyprocritical and imature if you complain about others standards. If you went all the way to the left then you should find such person and love them because they would probally be so grateful for having you in their life. Either way this topic is silly sorry to say. Silly and imature.... Post Reply

Posted : 18 Mar, 2013 11:30 AM Yes the Bible does say wives should submit to their husbands but as the church submits to God out of love and service. Some men seem to take this to the limit and think it gives them the right to rule with an iron fist so to speak. This is where abuse can stem from. Post Reply

Posted : 19 Mar, 2013 12:23 AM Just found it funny yet unfortunate that Letthis finds this topic silly and immature when it mirrors the relationship that shoud exist between Christ and the church or rather His church. Just take a minute and think...He loved us unconditionally as evidenced by His death that even convicted murderers,though facing death sentences, might have eternal life in the glory of The Father with the likes of Enoch,Noah,Abraham,Daniel etc-Men who are considered righteous. This was the thief at the cross whom He promised to be with in paradise. No standards then..no standards now. Think again...would the church (which i assume is wholly submitted to God) be putting in place all kinds of standards for God to meet?...Dumb question. What i was driving is something simple- trust. If we are indeed the church that is submitted to God and believes in Him, don't you think that we would let go of all our means when it comes to all aspects of life including matters of marriage and choice of partners? Do we trust Him with our lives? Do we have faith in Him? Well, i guess this is a matter to chew one for everyone including yours truly. I believe that through letting go we can experience God's best.
