Pray tell, how do you “make sure” God is at the center of someone else’s life?
By choosing your spouse wisely.
I find it hard to believe that any man could find absolutely no sign of a woman’s selfishness or shallowness prior to proposing to her. If he is an unselfish and attentive husband, why would a decent woman suddenly become hateful and selfish?
I’ve seen plenty of men ignore obvious character flaws in the pretty women they choose to marry. There are gentle, faithful women who are overlooked by men because they aren’t flashy or attention seeking.
Women who are sincere followers of Christ will submit to their husbands because they already have the mindset of submitting their will to Christ. But I suppose they come off as boring to most men. I’m sure I did.
What’s funny is that the faithful love of my husband brought out the best in me. I’ve had strangers compliment me and that just makes me giggle because I’ve been married for almost 20 years and we have six children. I didn’t get as much attention at my “peak” in my college years.
