Going by the origin and the order of
creation, it is pertinent to note that a woman was created for the man, not the
other way round. I guess that requires reiteration, God created a woman because
of the man: to help and complement him in his assignments. I hope our sisters
would learn from this and not regard it as some chauvinistic positions.
Having established this foreground,
the onus then lies on the woman is to find the man whom she was created/meant
to complement; while the man has to seek the woman who will be comparable to
him in his God-given assignments.
How each party goes about doing this
is a discussion for another day. But suffice to say that this primarily hinges
on the discovery and fulfilling of one’s PURPOSE in life [You may read my blog
post on the phenomenon of purpose here http://macbethology.blogspot.com/2008/06/23-facts-about-your-purpose-in-life.html).
A man that has discovered and is
living his purpose in life will be able to identify the woman who will be
comparable to him as a wife. Similarly, a woman who knows the calling of God
upon her life will instinctively know “the man” when he surfaces in her world.
This is beyond such superficial factors, such as physical and/or mental
attributes, that are being bandied around in email forwards and other public
spaces.
My thinking is that if women
(especially those who are yet to marry) can take time to reflect on these and
do an honest appraisal/inventory, attracting and identifying the so called Mr.
Right will not be an incubus.
Please let’s take our attention off
the shadows and focus on the substance.
Shalom!
