Shoot. We were SO close.
10.) And then when that doesn’t work, we’re really good at making excuses for dating non-Christians.
We’re accidentally in love. What do you want us to do?
11.) Competition is fierce. The coveted breed of handsome, intelligent, Lord-loving, unhitched male is rare — so when one is spotted, he’s swarmed.
Slap on the lipstick, ladies. Game ON.
12.) But we can’t go just too far with getting all fancy. We want to be attractive, but of course, can’t cause a brotha to stumble.
Subtle smiles are one thing, but short skirts are the devil’s playground.
Plus, Matthew 18:9 sounds super painful: “And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away…”
Ouch — We can’t have THAT guilt hanging on our hemlines.
13.) To complicate ‘the husband hunt’ further, we’re not allowed to pursue you. You have to pursue us. SO, we have to figure out how to “reverse” hunt instead?

14.) People try setting us up by saying, “Oh there’s this great single guy you should meet. He’s a Christian” (like there are no other criteria). He is? Great. Oh…and he’s 52, 5’2” and lives with his mom?
You forgot to mention that part.
15.) Worst of all, we feel the pressure of being a Proverbs 31 woman, when the most Proverbs 31 thing about us right now is verse 6: “Rather, give liquor to one who is dying, and offer wine to those struggling with life’s harsh realities.”
No husband by age 30? Yup. That classifies as a harsh reality.
Boom. Now only 30 more verses to check off the list.
Christian single ladies, the struggle is REAL. But we’re in this together.
No sister left behind. We GOT THIS.
