FOR SINGLE WOMEN: What to Know Before You Meet Him (Part 1 of 3)
1. Be found serving
Take the example of Ruth, who was found by Boaz on the threshing floor. She was working to serve another.
2. Make your list but check it twice
Consult your heavenly and earthly father about your list. Be sure that your list for a mate is realistic.
3. Care about your appearance inside and out
When you leave your house have the mind‐set that you never know who you’re going to see. Somewhere outside your door, you may meet your husband that day. On the other hand, while looks are important, they’re not everything. You must balance good looks with great inner qualities. There’s got to me more to you. Men, will date the finest woman, but unless she’s a quality woman inside, most likely they won’t take her home to meet mama.
4. Become financially and educationally balanced
Know what you really should do for a career before marriage, therefore you're not changing gears in midst of your marriage. Take this time to get your finances in order. Learn to live by a budget, and pay bills on time.
5. Learn to make a house/apartment a home - Get domesticated.
1. Keep it neat and make it warm and inviting.
2. Learn the joys of cooking – cooking is a ministry
a. It brings the family together‐ opens communication in families.
b. It keeps the family healthier‐ (the average restaurant has 60% more calories in their meals). That percentage is higher for fast foods.
c. It saves money‐ Americans are now spending about 40% of their food budget on outside meals
We hope this information has been helpful to you. Stay tuned for part 2!
This is great advice, especially number 5. Many times we don't know what to do with our mess or we were never taught how to really keep a house and rid ourselves of clutter. A good site I have found for this is FlyLady.net.

I also say that this information is great advice for single women. It's great to get a reminder of things and to be reminded on things that may not have been given much thought previously. I believe it's very important for us (single women) to keep our appearance in check and to have our life in order before meeting the man God brings in our life. Meaning the information on being financially stable and knowing your career path. Being domestic is definitely a plus and it tells God that we are thankful for what He has given us. I'm grateful for this outlet because a lot of women are not taught how to be good wives or how to live as a single.
