Acting like a LADY......and thinking like one too!

Soooooooo, here's my take on the famous statement/book title, Act Like A Woman, Think Like A Man by Steve Harvey. I have read the majority of it, and its alright...but my personal opinion about it is that it lacks what God has to say about relationships overall. Without getting too deep, lol, here goes:

Personally speaking, I believe ladies should act like ladies and think like ladies at all times....period. We are not men, therefore, we will never think like "them" so to say. Men are men and women are women. Now I know some people would argue that many people are taking the title out of context, and they have every right to feel that way, but I do think it has caused SOME women to either stay single or it has caused turmoil in their current relationship. Ladies, especially those in relationships and are currently single, you don't have to do any more than what you're doing but make sure your life is one modeled after Christ and that you are treating yourself & others with the utmost respect.....and that is it! If a man wants you, he will want YOU & everything that comes along with you. You don't have to think like "him" in order to catch his attention. Society as a whole has given many of us negative, fairy-tale images of what it takes to "keep" a man or a woman that has nothing to do with God. When God is at the head, then he will be sure to bless you with the very person that causes you to act like a lady, and think like one too. 
 
Many women are digging too hard in their relationships to find clues, signs, and more to show them if "he" is the one. While it is definitely okay to evaluate who you're with and where they stand with you, you must never forget that God has ALL of the answers. Who has time to play mind games? Insecure people do that, and while I am respectfully saying that, we must know that with God-ordained relationships we won't have to go through those things. I am believing God for that & I know his Word doesn't lie!!!  Don't try to do what a man would do or wear the pants & allow him to wear the skirt....it doesn't work like that. Allow a man to treat you like you should be treated and nothing less. A real woman thinks for herself and doesn't need the approval or validation from anyone. Spend more time consulting with God rather than listening to people who aren't even in God ordained relationships & watch what happens. You are a LADY, not a man. 

This is not intended to offend anyone, but I just want ladies to be themselves & not have to worry about thinking this way or that way just to get a man's attention to keep him satisfied and happy. I am actually going to see the movie myself when it comes out and I will share my thoughts afterwards...and by the way, I like the song by Jennifer Hudson & NeYo (Think Like A Man) as well, lol! That's why it is vital that we live our lives the way God intends and he'll see to it that you're well taken care of. Relationships built on the Solid Rock of Jesus stand a greater chance of "making it" than those based on what society deems appropriate. So go ahead & act like the beautiful lady that you are....and remember to think like one too by following God's commands!



Jennifer Hudson & NeYo make an amazzzzzing collabo!!! They both sound great & she looks awesome! Rick Ross could have stayed home...lol! I just wish women & men would look deeper into what the "title" says. We should all act like & think for ourselves, the way God intended for us. Nevertheless, I like the song...lol!

  1. I guess I'm a little late regarding this book because I hadn't heard about it until now. God's word says that a woman shouldn't wear anything pertaining to a man. That could mean a man's mindset too...right? Also, when we look at the virtuous woman, it doesn't say anything about her thinking like a man. Like you said, there may be those that say we're taking the title out of context. But out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Words are powerful and if you don't want something taken a certain way, don't say it that way. Great post!! I totally agree with you (^_^)

    1. Lol! Don't feel bad Nikell. While it is an interesting book, it still lacks some things spiritually, in my opinion. But I agree with you to the 2038402384 power! At the end of the day, as a man thinketh, so is he! I don't know about anyone else, but I want the mind of Christ. If a duck has his mind, then I want to be a duck....lol!!! :-)
