There is a glass ceiling on wages but even the single men wish to share space with someone to share in expenses. You and I both know that just because you aren't married doesn't mean we don't have the same if not more expenses than a man in the same position.

We do know that most intact families have dual wage earners...single families only have one with the same expenses. The majority of the single population is poverty level, and single parented by women. Which means women with children have more expenses and less income than men in similar situations.

I know of two men right now who wish they had a female roommate to help them with cooking and cleaning and are searching for any ole' woman to marry to take care of them. Since women can take care of themselves pretty much...they have the opportunity to be more choosey with dating and even re-marriage. Many prefer to stay as Paul for very good reason!

Nice thought but it doesn't work like that.

Someone will assume you're living together in the biblical sense, and then you'll have to spend unnecessary time setting the record straight and most still won't believe you.

Now if an older woman (I'm thinking a SENIOR--65+) rented a room to a much younger man (30 or younger?), that MIGHT be okay.

Or if you rent a garage apartment to someone....

But living together in the same house? Well, first of all, why would anyone want to? Honestly? No offense to the guys, but most men are messy, sloppy, eat all the food in the fridge, they burp, pass gas, etc. Yeah, almost ALL of them do--in their own homes!!!!!! LOL!!!! So why would you willingly take one of them on for any other reason than they're your son or your husband? Or brother or father? Or Grandpa? If you need a man to fix things, you can hire one of those handyman services. By the looks of the ads, they're all good looking and walk around with bare chests glistening in the sunlight, while they screw in light bulbs and tinker with cabinet doors. That could be entertaining for a single woman, and nonthreatening, since I think they leave after a little while. (I may have carried that scenario a bit too far....)

I'd much rather have a female roommate. Or none at all. If I want company, I can go to the mall with my friends.

As usual, Missy B, you hit it out of the ballpark...excellent post!!

All I can add to this is a word from the Word...


Rom 14:16

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: KJV

Clearer still is the same verse from the Amplified...

Rom 14:16

16 Do not therefore let what seems good to you be considered an evil thing [by someone else]. [In other words, do not give occasion for others to criticize that which is justifiable for you.] AMP

Sis. Barb & Sis Abbie,

Good Biblical verses to back up your opinions. Sadly, the way people are - makes it almost impossible to live a holy enough life for someone not to criticisize. the best we can all do is the best we can do.

Things have changed so much:
1. In the past a kiss before engagement was a no no
2. The man asked permission of the woman's parent's to marry their daughter
3. We didn't believe in or participate in divorce
4. Men actually took care of theri families
5. Right and wrong was an easy thing to determine...

Now:
1. Sex before marriage in the norm
2. Parent's have to impress the fiance
3. Divorce is acceptable even in ministry
4. Women support and take care of men and the children
5. Lines of sin and right & wrong are blurred by circumstance and gray areas

It is a sad state of affairs in the church and the world.

The Bible tells us about what will be happening in the last days:
* Children will be disobedient, unthankful, and disrespectful
* Men will be lovers of pleasure and themselves more than others or God
* The saints will be worn by these things from satan.
