Can I say something to young ladies here? I’m trying to pick my words carefully here. Your husband, whoever he is, single ladies, will have an unbelievable amount of influence over your sons and daughters in regards to spiritual things. If you want your children to love Jesus deeply, hold out for a man that is Godly. And let me tell you this: I am well aware that Godly men are rare. Lots of neat Christian boys, not a lot of Godly men. And we’re working our tails off for you to try to develop some into that. But don’t settle, because it’s better that you be lonely now than you be married and lonely later. Are you tracking with me? It is better that you be lonely now than for you to get married to a man that will teach your kids everything but the way of Jesus.
--Matt Chandler
They say the best thing a father can do for his children is love his wife well, but it is even better if this man has a deep reverence and love for the Lord.
Just a little something to keep in mind when it comes to choosing the man you will celebrate as the father of your children & head of your home. Even though we're in a time when "wait" carries a negative connotation and patience doesn't seem to be a necessary virtue, maybe, just maybe, this is something worth waiting for.
