What women want and what they say they want?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2022.

Dear Dawson, I'm glad your friend Lauren has agreed to go out with you again.

Making it past the third date is a milestone, but you are still getting to know her and

she is getting to know you, and so you are still both navigating what can be a pretty

treacherous path.

Her dad is not a Christian and is uninterested in any of that courtship jazz, and so you will

have to be responsible on all of this.

So here's the challenge.

While you are getting to know her, you are also growing in your sanctification.

That means that you should be wanting to become the kind of person that the kind of

person you would want to marry would want to marry.

You want to marry a godly conscientious and attractive Christian woman.

Suppose you met one.

Suppose that Lauren is that woman.

What kind of person does she want to marry?

Apply the gold rule.

She too wants to marry a godly conscientious and attractive Christian man.

When you meet the person you want, why would that person want you?

Now I know you love the Lord and His Word.

You are a godly young man and you really are conscientious and you walk with Him.
