A viral tweet from successful entrepreneur Alex Hormozi has many talking about finding the right partner. But what if there's a deeper, biblical layer to his practical advice? That's exactly what Mark from Matrimony Station noticed, and he provided a brilliant Christian reframe.

Hormozi's original tweet was snappy and direct:

• "Find a woman who kills drama instead of starting it, makes life quieter, not louder".

Mark connects this directly to Proverbs 21:9: "Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife". A peaceful home is a tremendous gift, and a partner who chooses peace is a treasure.

• "tells you you’re better than these guys and you can beat them and wants you to win even more than you do".

This reflects two powerful biblical concepts: she's your "help meet" (Genesis 2:18), a partner of corresponding strength, and your biggest cheerleader, spurring you toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). A godly spouse pushes you closer to your God-given calling.

But here's the mic drop, the most profound insight, where Hormozi "completely and totally nails one of the most important principles of Christian courtship," perhaps without even realizing it:

"Become the man required to attract that woman."

This flips the script from a simple wish list to a powerful call to action for who you need to become. Mark emphasizes that you don't find a Proverbs 31 woman by luck; you attract her by becoming a Proverbs 1-30 man. It's about embodying wisdom, integrity, and the fear of the Lord. You must become the man a godly woman is praying for.

This isn't just analysis; it's a challenge for personal application. Mark leaves us with crucial questions to reflect on:

• Is she a drama killer? Does she bring peace or stir conflict when things get tense?

• Is she pushing you toward who God has called you to be? Is her presence making you a better, more devoted follower of Christ?

• And most importantly, turning the mirror back on yourself: Are you becoming the kind of man who would attract a woman like that? Are you doing the hard work of growing in character, pursuing wisdom, and deepening your relationship with God?

The bottom line? Becoming that man isn't just part of the strategy; it is the strategy. The path to finding a godly spouse starts with your own journey of becoming more like the Lord Jesus Christ.
