Thanks for sharing. I'm having a hard time trying to navigate the relationship world. For some reason this recent relation was a toughy. i don't know if it was him or me...or both of us with issues. We're still holding on but we need to let each other go.
i think i need some alone time to refresh & reboot myself or speak to an elder at church. not sure what.
Do we as women, look for the soulmate or live and let them find us? I don't feel like looking for anyone right now. but working on me.
I appreciate the postings
@Lucia Any tips would be appreciated
I'd suggest this book "How to find your soulmate without losing your soul" by Jason and Christalina Evert for relationships

The video of the co author describing how he came up with the book above ^^ check it out.
This book has helped me a lot, it's geared to all ages from 16+ to adult women out in the world.
Next we as women are supposed to be pursued, it's in a mans nature to hunt and find, not ours. It's not our job as women to usurp the mans nature and his birthright given by God to pursue, but we can and should manage his pursuit as in the pace, respect and boundaries. If a true man of Christ is pursuing we as women shouldn't have to set the boundaries alone and him testing us, or not really on board, he should be right there with us, leading us in the ways of Christ. This also goes for going to church, prayer, bible study and worship, charity work, ministries whatever. Christ needs to be your foundation first, while you are seeking Jesus he is seeking you out, and will help heal you, guide you, if you ask and pour your heart out to him. Also of course work on the other aspects of your life physical, work career, school, personal appearance, hobbies, whatever.
Matthew 6:33
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
- As for pursuit...
Proverbs 18:21-22
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. 22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.
So it's the man who finds favor with the Lord in finding not just any wife but a "good" wife.
Proverbs 31 is not only a model of an exceptional Christian woman it's actually it's from father to his son as to what type of woman he should make the lady of his manor. The whole book of Proverbs is dedicated from father to son telling him how to avoid traps trouble and how to live well according to the words of God.
I would suggest you read Proverbs 31 and then read a verse or chapter from Psalms, Wisdom, or Proverbs or Timothy each day.
I don't know if this is your case (so if it's not your case this is for someone else who may read) but a lot of women in this modern society are afraid deathly afraid of submission to a man, instead they want to low key be the man and wear the pants emasculating him, then when things go wrong they want to blame the man for not stepping up and manning up. Well we should be afraid of submission but submission to the wrong kind of man. That can be prevented if we do our due diligence and rely on Jesus to help us discern the men we are thinking of dating. We are supposed to submit to a godly man and let him lead. Also we need to have our own relationship with God first so that we're not relying on a regular man to meet our spiritual needs, needs no regular man can meet. God bless!
