In my own experience I have listed standard in choosing a partner. Not just standard but I might say super over standard resulting regrets. Super over standard that I degrade a man. Degrading to the point I judge him based on physical appearance, ability and knowledge. Not remembering a man is wonderfully and fearfully made by God. I just hope that I've seen him before and check him out, checking what is the real truth within my heart that makes me satisfied so that I don't experience failure in choosing a partner. In my past experience I don't really know what I want to a man. It's now clear to me, what does I need to a man that will makes me happy and satisfied. Not just what minds think but what the heart beats. It should be balance. Once in my life I regret. If I could rewind my life I should not lose my special friend. In my own opinion standard makes you satisfied but being over standard is wrong. Too far from reality.
I red articles saying that satisfaction is the best key in choosing a partner. It must be clear in our mind ladies. I just wanna show you this scripture Genesis 2: 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. The Lord God really knows what a man need - a woman. Genesis 2: 21-24 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof ; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh
The bible told us on how to choose a partner in life. There is a standard but it will makes you happy and blessed if we choose to obey Him. But if we choose our own standard it will result failure and regret. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Also in Genesis 24: 3 I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living.
Maybe most of your friend, relatives told you this one is okay or that, don't put standard but its yours to decide just be wise. It's good to listen but then good analysis and prayer without ceasing will makes you choose the right person. Bible standard means the same faith as yours it's included. How about Physical features? 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." Don't look the outside appearance but look on his heart if he/she have a big heart that truly loves.
In conclusion standard is not really bad as long as you don't over judge. We will regret if we choose our own standard including looks, ability, capability of a man rather than choosing God standard.
