I believe we are in a period of economic uncertainty and churches would be wise to watch the economic indicators around them. Our church is in an area that is undergoing tremendous economic change. Lost jobs, lost wages translate into fewer contributions, plus some members have moved to other states to find better paying jobs.
The national economy, battered by the mortgage housing crisis and sky-high fuel costs, is starting to take its toll on all houses of worship. As wallets get thinner, people face increasingly difficult choices between paying the bills and supporting their congregation. In short, this downturn is hurting everybody. I crafted a short survey to get your input on this important matter. Thanks for participating!
Well, I put it out there & the ladies have spoken…check out their comments!
This is real talk. I hope the brothers are listening to your words of wisdom."
Thanks ladies for sharing!
Today’s women have achieved more than their great grandmothers could have ever imagined. Women are in politics, women are in space; women are excelling in every career imaginable. Women today are strong & independent.
Despite the females social evolution, however, you may be surprised to learn that women actually still enjoy being treated like women, and they still appreciate a little chivalry now and then.
HERE'S MY "TOP 5" OF WHAT "MY" WOMAN WANTS FROM ME
SHE LOVES IT WHEN I KISS HER FOR NO REASON WHILE HOLDING HER HAND
My woman "still" enjoys a nice, deep kiss that doesn’t have any strings attached. This serves two purposes: It lets her indulge in kissing for the sheer pleasure of it, and it also tells her I want her, and not just sex. Sometimes she needs a different type of connection.
HERE'S A TIP:
Try a surprise kiss for no reason at all; she’ll love you for it. Combine this with a little hand-holding and she’ll be smiling for days.
SHE LOVES IT WHEN I DANCE WITH HER
Simply put, dancing with a woman makes her feel special. Unfortunately, most men are reluctant to put their dancing shoes on, especially in a public setting. Guess what? While she’d probably welcome the idea, you don’t need to visit a nightclub to dance with your woman. She’ll be just as thrilled if you slipped a little Marvin Gaye on and danced with her in the living room. This would actually be to your advantage, as you have total control over the music.
SHE LOVES IT WHEN I DRESS UP FOR HER
Dressing up to take your woman out is an excellent way to impress her. It’s not about the clothes; it’s about the fact that you find her worth dressing up for. It lets her know that you think she’s worth that kind of effort. You may feel overdressed, but your hotness factor will have magnified exponentially. It’s true what they say: Women really do love a sharp-dressed man.
SHE LOVES IT WHEN I REMEMBER RANDOM MILESTONES
As a rule, birthdays and anniversaries should always be remembered; forgetting something of this magnitude will send the message that I don’t find her terribly important. After all, she memorized mine early on in the relationship, so if hers goes unnoticed, she’ll be utterly heartbroken.
To truly impress her, I aim to remember the insignificant dates, as well as the big ones. The first time I told her you loved her, the first time we kissed, the first place we vacationed together, what she was wearing the first time we met — any one of these turns her to jelly and score me more bonus points.
SHE LOVES IT WHEN WE DO ACTIVITIES TOGETHER
I've learned what women want from men is to spend time with their man outside of the bedroom. They want to experience life with their man, and this is one of the best ways to develop a three-dimensional relationship.
Join her in activities both of you can enjoy. If neither of you are the sporty type, try something else that you already excel at. When I taught my wife how to hold a pool stick & shoot pool – she loved the personalized attention.
Anyone like to comment or add to my list?
Now that I have your attention…
I'm proud to have attended & graduated from Jackson State University (a HBCU). At JSU, I learned the true meaning of struggle, brotherhood, and perseverance. Also, I had the chance to develop life-long relationships that continue today.
Personally, I chose to attend a HBCU to cultivate identity and community. Moreover, I wouldn't trade my HBCU experience for anything in the world.
After JSU, I attended PWI's (predominately White Institutions), but it was my JSU experience which shaped my life by strengthening the entrepreneur in me.
At JSU we were always encouraged to do our own thing, be strong, and trust God to grant you wisdom in all areas of life. Being in a place where educated Black people were the majority helped me to develop an "I can make it mentality."
Therefore, I will make my annual pilgrimage to Jackson, MS for a homecoming experience second to none. During this weekend, we will lay aside our titles, degrees, and become one. THIS IS SOMETHING THOSE WHO ATTENDED PWI's WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND…IT'S A BLACK THING…

"…your comments/thoughts on "What do Women Really Want" is right on point
and very good, I might add. As for me, a man who is sensitive and not
demeaning is a plus. Thank you for being an example to the young and older men!"
"…as being a strong, independent
black woman I enjoy someone who can take the lead and is very confident
in his manhood. Someone who is still the traditional gentlemen and is
definitely not intimidated by the new millennium woman. Someone that
can put me in my place (so to speak…because I can be "off the chain"
sometimes) without disrespecting me nor mentally, physically or
emotionally abusing me…now that takes a real man with true
skills…LOL!"
