I see this everywhere! It is constantly shared on Facebook, Pinterest, and other sites. That's because it's a good quote. It makes me smile every time I see it. This is the kind of woman I want to be. I want to be so focused on God that a man who isn't focused on Him won't even give me a single glance.
Our focus - despite what the world thinks - should not be on finding a husband. Our focus should be on serving God. A spouse is extra. God isn't cruel. He can and will bring the right person into our lives at the right time. We don't have to suffer while we wait either. Though the single years may be painful and lonely, we can use this time (the only time it's just us and God) to prepare for married life - if that's what we want. If being married is truly a desire of our hearts, and not just something we think we need because of what well-meaning friends and family say, God will make it happen.
We can't be idle. We have to actively prepare by studying God's Word, communing with Him daily, and setting our sight totally on Him. Practical preparation can help too. Maybe you need to learn to cook, or budget. I need to learn to drive.
And these skills won't just help you in marriage. Learning practical things like this can help in other aspects of our lives, and God can use these new skills for His glory as well.
