Is This T-Shirt The Reason Why You're Single?

From Authentically Wed:

Before you click out of this thinking it's another blog telling women how to "get a man" it's not. Just hear me out.

Christian culture has made dating and marriage SOOO HARD! 

Pastors and First Ladies alike have preached so much false theology on marriage that has been perpetuated throughout our culture, and in our collective psyches, that we almost (read: absolutely) think it's actually in the Bible.

Before we go further, let me clear this myth up for you: DATING IS NOT IN THE BIBLE!
As my sister, and fellow Girl Boss, Jennifer Trotter (@ladyinspiration) says often, dating is a social construct. So all that courtship lingo we throw around is really just us absorbing the practices of another culture, which is cool, but not Bible. 

Now, what the Bible does teach us is how to love people. It teaches us how to submit to Christ and our fellow joint heirs, and it teaches us how to be husbands and wives.  The Bible should INFORM our dating experience and Holy Spirit should be your guide in all things, but guess what God doesn't do? Choose our mates. We already talked about this in my post, "Three Reasons Why the One doesn't exist" so I won't rehash the facts here, but take my word for it, lol!.

While you're looking for "The One" (the perception of which is rooted in our shallow desires instead of what would actually bring about sanctification) the "The Right One" is in your face but you don't want him because he isn't wrapped in the package you imagined God sending him in.
