Men Relationship Priorities
When it comes to pursing women, which is what we do as men, it’s important that our relationship priorities are in order. As much as we are enamored by beauty and have great appetites for sex, when seeking out a wife, it’s unreasonable to think that those things alone will produce a happy and successful marriage.
For a moment, think of the woman you’re presently interested in. Is she worth your pursuit? Is she worth the time and investment you are about to pour into her? Could it be that you are simply mesmerized by her beauty? Has she captured your heart or capture your physical desires? There’s nothing wrong with having a beautify woman. To be honest, many of the men in the bible had beautiful wives. However, if it’s just about her beauty, her soft voice, and her captivating body, soon and very soon you will be in for an awakening.
When the honeymoon phase of meeting her has passed, you’ll have to deal with who she really is.
So, my brothers, here are a few things to consider as a visionary:
Will she support your dreams, visions, and ambitions?
Will she stay loyal to you when you have much and if you have little?
Will she stick by your side in the good times and in the bad times?
Will she support your leadership role in the home and treat you like The Man?
Is she forgiving or does she hold grudges?
If hard times were to come, would she build you up in prayer and encouragement or would she destroy you with her tongue?
Bottomline question is can you trust her with your heart and with your destiny?
I encourage the ladies a lot regarding choices, but you deserve someone with real substance too bro.
So, in your choosing of a wife, be wise in your selection. Choose a confidant and a best friend for life. If you are already in a relationship, here are 10 Relationship Pointers I believe will be good for you to maintain balance in your relationship.

Great Article Rickey! Choosing a mate that matches your destiny is so key! Someone that could take you even beyond what you hoped and dreamed is even more amazing! Someone that can pray for you during your tough spots…well, that tops the cake!
Thanks Jennifer. You are absolutely correct. Where we’re going is so much more important than ‘where we are.’ As men, we must use wisdom.
WOW! Great blog Min Rickey. Often times we focus solely on the women when it comes to this. But we fail to realize the men need love, support, covering, etc as well. Just like I expect my future husband to have those qualities I’m understand he expects the same thing. Love this
Thank you – and you are absolutely correct that both genders need the things you’ve listed.
Also, This is extremely important for the men because they are called to lead the home. If the head is unstable or unhealthy then the entire house will be unstable and unhealthy.
Great point!
Very good post-Rickey! This is some good information for many of those who were not taught these things as young men. Some of us have learned through our bad decisions and experiences. It’s good to see these things spelled out. Mary Lord continues to bless you in your endeavor to help and minister to people.
Thanks Rodney! I appreciate you checking this article out.
Having a covenant marriage is the ultimate goal. If you have someone who can cry out to go on your behalf in difficult situations and will be there through thick and thin, then I think you have your soulmate or God ordained life partner.
Absolutely Shawna!
