A woman’s heart

 
 
“[Unlike a man,] not every woman wants a battle to fight, but every woman yearns to be fought for. Listen to the longing of a woman’s heart: She wants to be more than noticed- she wants to be wanted. She wants to be pursued. “I just want to be a priority to someone,” a friend in her thirties told me. And her childhood dreams of a knight in shining armor coming to her rescue her are not girlish fantasies; they are the core of the feminine heart and the life she knows she was made for…
Every woman wants an adventure to share…
“To be cherished, pursued, fought for—yes. But also, I want to be strong and a part of the adventure.” So many men make the mistake of thinking that the woman is the adventure. But that’s where the relationship immediately goes downhill. A woman doesn’t want to be the adventure; she wants to be caught up into something greater than herself…
And finally, every woman wants to have beauty to unveil. Not to conjure, but to unveil. Most women feel the pressure to be beautiful from very young, but that’s not what I speak of. There is a deep desire to simply and truly be the beauty and be delighted in…
Do you see me? Asks the heart of every girl. Are you captivated by me?…
Sadly, Christianity has missed her heart as well…All we’ve offered the feminine soul is pressure to “be a good servant.” No one is fighting for her heart; there is no grand adventure to be swept up in; and every woman doubts very much that she has any beauty to unveil.”
