The journey of the Perfectionist to the altar can be a long one. Today, I’m talking about the standards a perfectionist has for a man and how it can slow down her progress toward marriage. I truly believe perfectionism is a blind spot many Christians have. Single Christians always want to pursue godly qualities in their search for an amazing Christian man, but what if you’re actually being a perfectionist with perfectionistic expectations in your search for the “perfect” husband? Tune in and share especially if you think your standards and attractions are erring on the side of perfectionism.

The Pit of Perfectionism and How It Affects Your Pursuit of Marriage (Part 1)

We all understand how important timing is, but do we understand how important being in the right place is? What I’ve learned to do as a love coach to single christians is to learn more about their surroundings. Is their church a dry and dead atmosphere for potential christ-centered, romantic relationships? Is it never going to happen in their workplace regarding love and marriage? Do they have anyone setting them up or believing for marriage for them? Do they fit into their surroundings? Does anyone ever pursue them or ask them out? Is anyone ever getting asked out? Is their schedule the same day-in and day-out and they’re constantly surrounded by dead ends? It’s so important to know if you’re in the right environment in order for a relationship to begin. On today’s episode, I’ll go over how to know if you’re in the right or wrong place and how to get in the right place! And yes, we’ll even cover how to know if you’re the common denominator, or if your environment is what’s hindering you. We’ll even discuss the importance of discerning a wilderness season where nothing visible is happening, but it’s the place God has for you for right now.

#182 - Don't Stay Where No One Sees Your Value

The 4 things I want single Christian women to know: 1) Sometimes it’s you, sometimes it’s not. Know which side of the track you’re on. 2) How to culture of dissatisfaction is affecting singles! 3)Discover if you’re in the right place. 4) Stop blaming God for your singleness.

This episode digs deeper into the complexities of singleness, why some women remain single, how our culture impacts our singleness, how sin impacts our singleness, how to know if we need to change or if there’s nothing for us to change.

#178: When The Modern Woman Needs More Than Just Love

Check out today’s episode with my former client, Arlyn, who’s been married for over a year now! Arlyn was the type of woman who genuinely loved her single life (a little too much!), but became a converted skeptic and is now loving married life with her husband. I have so many great questions for her about her single-to-married season:  … what her biggest roadblocks were, … how she met her husband, … how she knew he was the right person for her, … and what changes she had to make in order to move toward marriage. I also asked her to share all of the big and small miracles that took place in her life prior to her even meeting her husband. The miracles didn’t stop there though, they continued into their dating relationship! You’ll have to tune in to learn more! Arlyn’s prayer list from January 2019: This year I vow to DO what I CAN do:  pray & fast spend time wisely and intentionally be social and friendly trust God obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit operate in faith not fear and believe that God will SUPERNATURALLY do what I cannot do: heal my broken heart provide divine encounters with the right people multiply time and opportunities orchestrate the events of my life  The acronym Arlyn referenced was created by Megan Starbuck in her book,  Surprised By Marriage: A Cynics Guide To Believing In Love. I interviewed Megan in 2019; you can listen to the episode here: #80: From the Cynical Single to the Optimistic Wife (Part 1) with Megan Starbuck Lysa Terkeurst quote from her book,  It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way, page 82: “Wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another, means it’s been sitting in comfort for so long that it has absorbed the aroma of complacency. Winemakers at the time of Jeremiah would pour wine from jar to jar for two reasons. First, so the wine wouldn’t absorb the flavor of the vessel, and second, to rid the wine of the dregs or the sediment that would settle into the bottom and prevent the wine from being pure.” Daniel 2:20-21: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”   Starr’s Resources:  The Marriage-Minded Online Dating Academy: www.StarrBurroughs.com/MODA Get 10% off your first month of Faithful Counseling (Sponsored):  https://www.getfaithful.com/confidentsinglewoman  Join our free Facebook Community: The Confident Single Woman Starr's Book: The Ineligible Bachelorette: Taking A Hard Look At Why You Haven’t Found The One 7 Questions To Help You Identify Your Standards [Free]: https://www.StarrBurroughs.com/Standards The 7 Most Common Roadblocks To Love [Free]: https://www.StarrBurroughs.com/gift Follow me: Facebook Instagram Email: starr@StarrBurroughs.com
