Because I can tell you, marriage is still about some "settling"... My husband is not my dream date... He is the man in my dreams... And he was a "paradigm shift" as to what I wanted vs. what God said was the one for me... Moreover, it took an Act of God to even look as this man before I started courting him...
So could you take a few of your desired attributes from the woman that God sent to you?
And now we are about to get into a Biblical philosophical discussion. It may require some chapter and verse.
How do you explain Hosea's circumstances... His wife philandered... And don't go into the fact that is "wife" was suppose to symbolize "the Children of Israel", etc. Just the basic premise...
And then, what about Mary Magdelene before she was about to get stoned and before she met Christ?
That may be the type of woman that God has ordained for you... Could you handle that?

Seeing some of the issues-filled women that came into my life (and all of them were rather unique characters), I pretty much prepared myself to handle anything God sent my way.
But again: what temptations would I be subjecting myself to (see my previous post)?
