Women Christian Men Should Never Marry

Last time I talked about “Christian WomenShould Never Marry These Men”. Today it’s time to bring to limelight the women Christian women should never marry. Marriage is not a place you want to try and see if things will work but it is a lifetime commitment. It is the will of God that two married people live together happily ever after until death does them apart. However, choices lead to consequences which may either be positive or negative. The kind of a woman you choose as a wife will either make you live happily or will become a disaster to you. I may not exhaust everything but the following are the types of women Christian men should never marry.

1.    The Unbeliever

I reminded women that 2 Corinthians 6:14 say “Do not be yoked with unbelievers, what business righteousness and lawlessness or what does light with darkness have in common? This means whether a woman or a man you should not marry an unbeliever. A wife who loves Jesus more than you is what you need. Spiritual maturity should be one of your top most qualities you should look for in a wife.

2.    Materialistic woman

Imagine you are engaged to a girl from a rich family. You buy her a ring after saving money for many months. When you propose to her she tells you to go back to and get her a big diamond ring. Because you love her you are forced to go into debt to meet her expectations. This means she wants to live a high life on a low budget. If you enter marriage with this woman you will live the rest of your life in debt.

3.    The Delilah

In Judges 16 Samson a man who had superhuman strength and anointed by God lost his power to a woman called Delilah who seduced him to tell him his secret and destroyed him. If a woman you want to marry has not committed her sexuality to God will blind you with her charms, break your heart and destroy your anointing. If the woman you are dating is dressing provocatively, posts sexual comments on Facebook

4.    The contentious Woman

There are women who have been hurt in the past by men or family. They have too much resentment towards everything. A contentious woman is quarrelsome and likes arguing. Where she is she has to cause fights and unnecessary fights including endless drama and door slamming. Past or unresolved issues and bitterness can ruin a marriage. Proverbs 21:9 says it is better for man to live in a corner of a roof of a house than to share the same house with a quarrelsome woman. If the woman you are dating has this problem insist that she gets counseling or prayer. If she refuses this help then you need to let her go.

5.    A controlling woman

According to Ephesian 5:21 both husband and wife should practice mutual submission, meaning marriage is a 50/50 partnership. Just like some men try to act like dictators in marriage, some women try to manipulate decisions in order to have things their way or want to call all the shots. Pre-marital counseling is important to highlight this before you get married.

6.    The mama’s girl

It is okay if your wife calls her mother more often for support or advice. But it is not okay if she fills her every day with every detail of your marriage including sex life. Some women allow their mothers or fathers to control their marriages. Genesis 2:24 says that a man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife. This also applies to wives.  If the woman you are dating does not look like she is willing to cut some strings with her parents then you should not proceed with the plans of marrying her.

7.     The Addict

Though some people come to church they may still be struggling with addictions including pornography, illegal drugs and alcohol. This may be because they are not getting enough compassionate to support them or they are not confronting their sins. Jesus can heal an addict completely and set him or her free. However, you don’t have to wait till you are in marriage to realize your wife is an addict. It is better to help her get help before you enter marriage.
