One of the most important decisions any woman has to make in her lifetime is choosing the right man to spend the rest of her forever with. This man would not only be her husband, but her lifetime companion, best friend, and most importantly, the father of her children, with whom she would raise them.
Kari Boyer, a woman from Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, has found the answer to what are the qualities a young woman should look for in the man she wishes to spend a lifetime with. Drawing from her own experiences, she wrote a post on Facebook the other day, giving a piece of advice to young girls who are starting to pray for a man in their lives.
The photo was apparently taken during a time when their daughter was severely ill and needed as much support as possible from her parents.
Boyer carefully points out that a husband should place God first and foremost, and should hold his wife and children as his remaining priority.
“Young ladies, when the season of life comes and you’re starting to pray for a spouse to spend your life with… pray for the kind of man that will lay next to your future 13-year-old, on the bathroom floor, praying over her because she can’t keep a drop of water down. Pray for a man that will carry her down the stairs, to the car, and spend all night in the hospital by her side. Pray for a spouse that will consistently put you and your children first, above himself — but NOT above the Lord.”
Additionally, she explains how important is for her that a husband wakes up early on Sundays to get his family ready for church. As she wrote, if he can be up at 4:30 am on a Saturday to go hunting, why not wake up at 6:30 on a Sunday to go to church? Well, that sounds reasonable.
“Just wait. And while you wait, pray that the Lord would not only prepare your future spouse, but that He would prepare you to be the kind of wife He is leading you to be. Wait for the one God has for you. Don’t give pieces of yourself away to every man that crosses your path and shows you a little affection.”
Her sage advice became viral, touching the hearts of many. With thousands of likes and shares, many were also moved to comment and agree with her.
