Connect with Others

We will not meet our husband sitting in the house all night or on the job site all day. We must go out, get out and be out to be seen and adored. And also because being out and about is fun. Grocery shop during peak hours (during lunch/after work), attend a House Party, Grab a friend (or friends) and head out to the local Farmer’s Market, visit a new church this Sunday, attend a salsa class, hit up Happy Hour… challenge yourself to try a new place each week!

In dating for marriage, we must get serious about mingling with other people: men, women, married, unmarried, our ethnicity, other ethnicities, our religion, other religions. These people know other people and those people may be single! The Feminine Woman blog states, “It’s only when we care enough to connect, when we truly no longer want to be separate and alone, that we solve our own singledom.”
 Do you really want to be connected with a man? A good man? Your husband? Then we must first begin caring about being connected: connected to our pets, our children, our family, our friends, and the homeless man on the street. Smile, say hi, introduce yourself to someone new, walk your neighbor’s dog, pet-sit your sister’s hamster, babysit your niece and nephew. Connect!

We live in an individualistic society. Singleness and the “me, my, I” mindset are highly praised. 

But individualism does not serve us and it certainly does not serve our families! These who are like this are selfish and selfish people are the loneliest and most discouraged because they need others. You can’t hold you at night like a good husband can. You can’t kiss your face sweetly like your 2 year old daughter can. You can’t give yourself the giggles like a happy puppy can. Get out and get connected with others. You are much more likely to meet your husband skiing the Alps or shopping at the local foodmart than sitting on your couch stuffing bon bons!

Those who are connected with others and stay connected with others are happier, wealthier, more peaceful and more fulfilled. Our society promotes the opposite because unhappy people make our economy strong: always looking for fulfillment at the bottom of a shopping bag, liquor bottle, in the next relationship, or expensive vacation. No matter how many “fun” cruises you take, if you’re single when you get home those memories mean nothing! You’ll still be sad and lonely.
Strong families make us happy, so let’s keep our focus on that. And strong families start with a leading man and a nurturing woman. Get a life, get connected, get a husband.

Ok, let’s recap shall we? You need to get out so you can meet people to date. Being selfish makes us sad, being connected and living life makes us happy and wealthier in many ways. Go on vacations, cruises, to hang out with friends but stick to your agenda: dating for marriage. You want a husband. You need a husband. If no, then I think you are following the wrong blog :(
