I was over at Chuck and Ginger's house some night last week after taking a walk with them and some of their friends. Chuck was laying on the couch beside Ginger (his wife) and Ruby (his new daughter). Ginger and I were discussing dating, marriage, boys, authors on the subject, good books about it, etc. (which, I'll recommend the book in a bit). So, we're discussing how to be godly women in singleness and in marriage, and what God has called us to do in those seasons. I was probably talking about dating/marriage and men, when Chuck just sits up and says "OK, all you have to do to get a husband is catch him with you boobs, don't let him touch them until you're married, and then he's all yours b/c you're stuck together forever!!" First, I thought it was HILARIOUS and a very typical Chuck response...but, also had a bit of merit to it!!
I hope someone found that entertaining, I'm just going to go with it being an endorsement of there "not being a hint of immorality in your relationship until your married" instead of it being an endorsement of "just catch a man with your sexy self and figure the rest out later" because I'm sure that was the intent coming from this godly man.
Anyhoo, the book I was talking to Ginger about is called Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? and while it sounds a little funny at first, it was an EXCELLENT book. I would highly recommend any of you single gals to go buy this book. It's written by Carolyn McCulley. It was just such an encouraging read! It was more about how to live well single by serving others, how to prepare for marriage, and how to use our womanly calling even if we're single (be involved with other people's kids, invite church staff over and feed them, etc). It was so great because it didn't sit and talk about how to find/trap a husband, but how to live well single, and how to prepare to be an excellent wife. Go buy it here!! Also, Carolyn has a great blog that is very worth reading.
Just thought I'd pass that recommendation on....

Oh, MY CRAP. I can't believe you posted that!
Just a word in my own defense, I do believe I was drawing a parallel between how happy and content Ruby was with her life being so closely related to that part of anatomy and how happy and content a married man could be for nearly the same reason.
So its still pretty inappropriate but it makes more sense that me just blurting out "BOobs"
And that is not a typical comment, I'm rarely that insightful.
I did wrestle with posting it, but it was just too funny to pass up! I hope I put enough disclaimers in there to make it clear that you were a.) kidding and b.)don't usually say things like that. But, it was hilarious.
Haha wow that's funny...
The book's title reminds me of Joshua Harris' "I Kissed Dating Goodbye"! Doesn't sound that much more funny to me!
