But at the same time...do you really believe that EVERY Christian woman can get married? Are there even enough men in the world to do that with the ratios? I hear what you're saying..but my only problem with this is that it causes women who are single and older is to question whether they're living "right" because they are not married yet. In my opinion...its sad but there are lots of woman that will never get married..though they want to...though they are living a Godly life... do you agree or disagree?
I am not being pessimistic just trying to be realistic

I truly do believe that EVERY Christian woman who
prepares herself in a Godly way can get married.
IMHO, there are a lot of women who go to church and are real Christians who seek husbands and their main husband-blocking issues are (1) distrust of men (2) holding new men accountable for the past sins of others- often an absent or emotionally detached father- (3) giving too much away too soon. I think one can really have a committed relationship with God and still not know integral things about oneself. I stress GODLY PREPARATION because to me that is what so many of our sisterfriends lack. We spend thousands making out outside look good and while we pray and nurture our spiritual selves we don't clean out and get in good working order our emotional selves.
This is why I think that some "good Christian women" are alone. It is not their relationship with God that is lacking- its their relationships with themselves that are lacking and often they allow their relationships with past men to get in the way.
We must take care of our little girl inside because alot of us while spiritually mature, are still emotionally little girls. We missed something when we were young or somewhere along the way and are not ready to deal with an incarnate live in living color man on a true level of maturity because while spiritual adults we are emotional five year olds. We become needy and insecure. I see this alot in acquaintances who jump from man to man and often bed to bed looking for a commitment they don't truy know how to nurture. Now the good Christian woman might not jump from bed to bed, but a serial relationships sans sex can be just as unfulfilling and emotionally unsatisfying.
Godly preparation, imho, enables us to allow our Father to heal our wounds and raise us to the level of emotional health and maturity necessary to share in a wholesome and health possibly marriage-resulting relationship.
So, no I don't think every Christian woman will get married, but I think that every Christian woman who has Godly prepared herself for the emotional commitment, responsibility and interaction of marriage can get married (if she's not too busy loving her new found emotional adult to chunk marriage the deuce
)
