"This may not be the best time for me to write
on this because of misinterpretations, but I can
no longer resist the push.
"Husband Scarcity" has become one of the
challenges faced by many young girls today.
If you go to prayer houses, majority of the
intentions are prayer for a life partner. And this
calls for concern.
Casting our minds back to the time of our
mothers and grandmothers, was there really
much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem?
Or, maybe there were more men than women
then, or there was an adequate corresponding
numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe
then, the women had values and were prepared
to build a home and not park into a built home.
Then, once a young man comes of age and can
at least feed himself and his wife, he goes out in
search of a wife and the woman really
appreciates him and helps him to build a future.
What am I really trying to say?
We created what we now see as "Husband
Scarcity" for ourselves. Today, the reverse is the
case. Ask an average girl to define her dream
husband; you get things like "he has to be tall,
handsome, fair, and rich, own a house at least,
and be presentable" and then she adds "God
fearing" in order not to sound so worldly.
Then, check the number of girls around you and
the number of men that meet that standard, and
you will see the problem. You hear girls say, "I
cannot suffer in my father's house and then go
and start suffering with a man."
What a wonderful dream! What if from the
beginning, you have everything you want and
there is no suffering, and later in the marriage,
the table turns around, then comes suffering?
Will you run away? No one prays for suffering,
but it is good to start small and end big, than
start big and end small.
The problem is that the description majority of
girls give of their ideal man is virtually the same.
When 50 girls want the same kind of man and
the man that fits what they want is just 1 man,
and the man can only pick one. Then, what
becomes of 49 others?
They simply start lamenting of "Husband
Scarcity". Another irony of our time is that it is
hard, due to the face of our economy to find a
man who is of marriage age who possesses all
those things these ladies want, legally (except
those involved in Internet fraud); even the
number of those in Internet fraud is not enough
to match all those searching for already made
husbands.
If you look around, majority of the ladies of
substance, of good value and virtue, who are
ready to build a home with a man who has
prospects, are married and not complaining of
husband scarcity. The easiest way to find a
husband now, is to change your view of who a
husband is.
A husband is that man God made and then saw
that it may be hard for him to really actualize his
purpose for making him, without a help mate and
then made the woman and gave to him, and he
felt complete and fulfilled MARRIAGE IS NOT A
POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a
mission of building the family of God here on
earth.
For those who see marriage as a way out of
poverty, it is a way into bondage. Women are
HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS... DON'T
CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY.
Where he is today, may only be a route to where
God has destined him to be tomorrow.
Another truth is that YOU MAY BE THE ONLY
FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS DESTINATION. Join
in alleviating "husband scarcity".
PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES. I am not saying
that you should pick anyone that comes your
way and talks of marriage, not all men are
husband materials. What I am saying is that you
should stop setting your standard on material
acquisitions or physical appearances. Look
beyond the physical.
WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT WHAT
HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS WHAT HE
IS MADE UP OF.
And that which he is made of is, most times, not
seen with the physical eyes, only its effects can
be seen. Marriage is a permanent thing.
Whatever is seen is temporal and that which is
not seen is permanent."
*This post is worth sharing,
let it go as far as it can....

Well said. I need a woman.

We created it for ourselves? husband scarcity? did it ever occur to you that most men dont want to be tied to just one woman for the rest of their life? why? cos they want to taste every passing hole the see,

why do we have baby daddy and mamas this days?
why cant they marry the lady they decided to pour into?
if you dont love her, why pour into her?
If the guy she has a kid for decide to propose, do you think she wont say yes?
We didnt create it for ourselves, men of this days think about themselves alone

In the near future, AI would easily solve the problems of husband scarcity.
