Take Me To Church

There is a difference in a man that will take you to church and a man that will just go to church with you. In this day and age, it's hard for a strong independent woman such as myself to think about a man having any control of my life. But this one place, I don't just want it, I need it.

Ephesians 5:22-33
New King James Version (NKJV)

Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body,[a] of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[b] 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

There are men out there that can offer me various different things. But what I find myself seeking is a man that will lead us to the altar to lay down our problems at the feet of the Lord and pray with me that we can trust in each other and the Lord to carry us through. I want someone who will take me to church that doesn't just go with me to church. BUT...with that said, I will settle for it latter as a start. :)
