I fell in love in high school and got my heart broken. As I started into college, I had decided marriage was not for me and instead, I would become a Fortune 500 CEO! No "Mrs.Degree" for Karen. So, I set on a path to do just that. Business had been my love since I was a young girl and I just moved forward with it.
As my relationship to Christ grew and matured, my desires changed. I began to want to be a wife. To be a partner, in life and business, to a brave, Godly, loving man. No children though. Kids would get in the way of my career, but a husband would just advance it. I became somewhat hardened in many ways. It was not until years later that God had His way with my heart.
Our culture changed in the 60's. June Cleaver was on her way out the door and Gloria Steinem was on her way in. Women went to work. In fact, by the 1980's, if you were a women without a full time career, you were seen as unsuccessful and a failure. Women were leaving their homes in droves. Feminism was all the rage and getting stronger all the time. The problem with feminism was that it just wasn't true. A woman was not a man! Sure, a woman should be paid the same wage for the same job. But, the feminists were trying to make women into men.. OH GIRLS.......we are not men and they are so happy about that!!!!!
Thank God the feminist failed. We see the err of their way now, but we are suffering the consequences of what they did to our society. To our homes. To our marriages. Together, men and women encompass the attributes of God. One without the other is not complete. Children need a mother and a father to understand the love of God. Today, as a result of the men being robbed of their masculinity and women FINDING or even seeking to be like a man, over 50% of our families are led by single parents and marriages end in divorce. The real victims are our children.
I have a desire to change that! Desiring to be married is a Godly desire. If that is the life you truly want, you can be sure that God intends for you to be married. Whether you will be married or not will depend on many things. Continue to read my blog and we will discuss them.
Hold your dream close to your heart. Offer it to God. Submit to His will. See His blessing of a husband come your way.
Treasuring You in His Love,
Karen
