"HE SAY, SHE SAY"

On any given day, at any given time we can turn on the tv and see men taking paternity tests, being labled "deadbeats", cheaters, or worse. Between reality shows, talk shows, our judical systems and even in our daily conversation men are getting a bad "rap". What about us? What about the women who are choosing these men, who are an equal part of these relationships, and love the drama that comes along with being the woman of a man labled "a bad boy"? There are standards for school, to get something as simple as a license, standards are set for jobs but, where relationships are concerned are standards being set? Women say they want a man that works, is romatic, faithful, who provides, who protects, who is a good dad, who loves the Lord, etc.. Yet, are  you carrying your weight? Women have we gotten so independent that we don't cook anymore, we don't keep the house clean, we don't send our men to work with a homemade lunch but, we're upset when he goes out to lunch with a co-worker? Is what you say you want in a man the total opposite of what you have at home? Do you want him to be saved and have a relationship with Christ but, you're hopping in bed with him every chance you get? If he isn't what you want, why get in a relationship to try to make him be what you want him to be, but then you're upset when he can't measure up, but you already knew who he was in the beginning? Women it's time we really take a step back and see what part we play in dysfunctional relationships. Every household has duties. Our children are watching and our families are suffering. There is nothing wrong with being a single woman. There's nothing wrong with a woman being the primary cook. If we want somethings to change why not start with ourselves. Stop complaining and start making it work. Start praying for your mate even if you don't have one yet. Let's take a moment today and write a list of what we can do better, to either create a better situation that we are already in or to prepare for who will come into our lives. Let's honor a good man when we have one. The healing of the family can start with us. Being a woman is an awesome thing and when you exercise your greatness, we can make a difference.
