My friend Sandra is an accomplished journalist. That’s why when she writes columns about men, I enjoy looking over her shoulder. Sandra writes “The Ideal Man: What Women are Looking For!:”

One woman’s ideal will be different from another depending on her past experience with men, her current situation, her future needs, and most importantly, how comfortable she is with herself. A Christian woman will look for different qualities in a man than will a woman who has no understanding of “be last so you can be first,” “die so you can live,” “be mutually submissive to one another.”

    Sandra emphasizes that men and women need each other. We are more effective together than we can ever be apart for God created men and women to be in relationship with him.

    If you’re teaching your young men and or young women what an ideal man is like, what a great place to begin. First and foremost, he is a man who loves God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength. He is a man who understands that to love his wife is to love God’s gift to him, that we need each other and we need God.
