I’ve said this before, but here it is again. I’ve been focusing more on becoming “the one” instead of looking for her. I love seeing content like this, because it helps me know my strengths and weaknesses, so I know what to work on to become the right godly man for my future wife. Trying to faithfully love her well, even if I don’t know who she is yet. If she’s reading this, I’m praying for us!

You are a smart man. This is the hardest part for a woman. I'm 58 and have not found my partner because of these very qualities. In this day and age, it is increasingly becoming more difficult to encounter an equally yoked man, especially in California. If i were to find this type of man and it became obvious he was a man of God and faithful to His will, i would feel overjoyed. I pray that you listen closely to the Lord and i'm sure He will send you a wife. God Bless You. 🙏🕊⛪️🌷

Amen! Brother Parker. I’ll pray you find also your wife that God has for you. When I feel weary also waiting for my godly husband to come, I pray and trust The Lord Jesus Christ to protect me from making a wrong decision in choosing my husband. Though I am waiting I know ultimately purpose is to be a light in the world for others to turn to Jesus Christ.

1) be respectable even before she knows you. so how to be respectable? have character; be hard working; have good relationships 2) trust in the Lord that he will bring the right woman to you 3) be proactive when you believe that God has placed before you the woman to pursue 4) be good to all, not just the woman you like 5) she will like you even more when you impress the ones she trusts and loves. don't impress by faking it, but continue to be good to all, just like you always have done.

Thank you sir for doing these videos, please do part 3. I'm a 34 year old single Christian man and I am a virgin waiting until marriage if it is God's will for me to be married to a good Christian woman. I have prayed to God several times if it is His will for me to be married to a good Christian woman and twice I have had a feeling of peace come upon me after praying for the Lord to lead my wife and I to each other if it is God's will for me to be married so I wonder if that peaceful feeling is God letting me know that He wants me to be married to a Christian woman when the time is right. I know that God is the author of peace .

Thank you so much for this video, Mark! I'm currently single (have been for over a year now) out of an ungodly relationship that lasted 6 years. I have been watching your channel and love the content and guidance. I have started going back to church and reading the Bible, and God has given me a desire for a truly Biblical relationship/marriage and children one day. At this point in my life, just like you said in this video, I am trying to build my life up and make a name for myself, so that when God does bring the right woman into my life, I have the means to provide and protect. I have also made it a habit to be respectful and caring to every woman I interact with, even those I'm not attracted to. Thank you very much for providing excellent guidance to us young single men trying to live a Godly life.

Yes, please continue this series. I was widowed in 2021 and I am currently studying the book of Ruth regarding my widowhood. I believe the Lord is pulling me toward a male friend in my small group at church but I want to move carefully, according to God's will, not my own, which is why I'm reading Ruth. It does not say how long Ruth waited to marry Boaz after her husband died but it would appear it wasn't too long.

I love these, as a lady, I definitely agree with the first one. We don't want to be worshiped and 'the mission' of course we want to be cared for, but God is God, not us. Walking beside is a huge thing as well. We don't want to feel belittled, we also don't want to feel like we are belittling- or dragging the guy everywhere. Here is why- if the relationship does move on to marriage. Then most naturally the woman will be doing that with any future children. Having also to do that with a husband instead of a decision-making *partner* is, pun-intended, a drag to even think about. :)

I always learn so much from your videos, you put things so simply and you explain thoroughly, I'm very grateful! This ministry is blessed I know that because my awareness is heightened at times when I listen, it's like the Spirit within me tunes me in and says PAY ATTENTION. :) It's a wide audience you minister to who doesn't often feel seen or heard, and who is often hurting there's pain in loneliness, when I was single I remember feeling a calmness and peace after watching your videos because they're true and logical. They remind God is sovereign and He's working hard in each of our lives--He's consistent and true and He loves us, it's good to remember. And to remember the person you want to be and who you should look for! You always have good reminders to recalibrate my thinking and my hope in God -- it's been encouraging for me! Both now as I listen to confirm things, and it has been in the past, I know others feel the same way, and I hope more do in future. Also thank you so much for putting out so much relevant content it feels like a friend always there to remind, encourage, lift up, and you don't give up. So thank you Mark!

6 PILLARS OF A GODLY MAN 1. Be Respectable and Reputable (Rut 2:1 = "Worthy Man" / Man of Standing) 2. Trust God's Hand of Providence to Bring Future Wife & Future Marriage (Rut 2:2-7 "...She *Happened* To Come to The Field Of Boaz..") 3. Be Proactive Once You Sense God and Make the First Move (Rut 2:8-10 = Boaz talks to her, provides, shows his character and overall makes the first move. Once Ruth confirms her interest in Ruth 3 Boaz takes over from her) 4. Treat Women Right In General Out of Character and Not Just Desire for Personal Gain (Rut 2:11-14, he already had other women in his care (8) and makes your actions seem more genuine ) 5. Have Authority and Discipline (Rut 2:15-16 = He had disciplined men who obeyed his command out of respect and not fear) 6. Gain The Favour of Those Already in Her Life that She Loves With Your Character (Rut 2: 17-23)
