As a single woman I often hear my peers say "Where are the real men?"
It's true ladies, we can often feel we are in a desert of singleness with a plague of frogs and not a prince in sight.
Sadly the epidemic is the same from the perspective of some of those good guys, they're looking around and seeing little girls in women's bodies.
Culture feeds this epidemic, saying that girls mature faster emotionally. That immaturity is only a problem for men. I don't believe this for one second.
We see tales of Prince Charming and want to be the Princess. In childhood we play dress up, we want to be a princess. We need to leave "dress up" games behind and grow up to be real princesses. We need to become real women in order to attract real men.
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."- 1 Corinthians 13:11
The married relationship between man and woman is intended to be a microcosm of the relationship of the Church, as the bride, to Christ.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her"- Ephesians 5:25
We need to find good married Christian female mentors to reinforce what Biblical Womanhood truly is. This is so we can learn what traits to put on in place of our dress up clothes of childhood. Check out Titus 2!
Keep up in your studies and strive to be a woman in the way God intended.
Remember, your Prince already came to sweep you off your feet and save you from dragons.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."- Isaiah 9:6
Always,
