When you love Mr. Wrong

Mr. Wrong will never become Mr. Right. Women need to realize if a man does not treat her like she is a golden violin, then, he is not worth her time. Sadly, my mother did not realize this and due to her circumstances (being a divorced mother of two young daughters) she married Mr. Terribly Wrong after knowing him only 6 short weeks. Thankfully, because of her mistakes, I learned at a very early age to accept nothing but the best from any man that I was dating.

I had what I called, "My 3 rules," and if anyone potential mate crossed any of the rules listed below, he found himself heading to the door. I never allowed any excuses to explain the behavior. It was that simple.

1. Do not lie to me.

2. Do not hit me.

3. Do not cheat on me.

Now, some of you may be thinking, "What about verbal abuse?" Even though this was not on my list, I knew how to look for the warning signs that would indicate this potential problem. My grandmother was a very wise woman and she told me to watch how a man treats his mother. If he is respectful to her and adores her, he will adore you. That was the best advice. I would carefully watch the interaction between mother and son. My husband treated his mother with love, respect, and honor the first time I met her. I could see the genuine connection between them and knew that he would do the same for me. We have been married for almost 16 wonderful years and he has never let me fall off that loving pedestal.

Believe if or not, every girl has what are called, "Red flags." If these flags are waving high in your heart, GET OUT! Do not dismiss those warnings, do not make excuses, and do not settle for less. Hold on to the belief that there is a man out there that will treat you like a precious queen as he becomes your king.

When a woman realizes that her Mr. Right is our Heavenly Father, then, any man she meets will be icing-on-the-cake. If her fulfillment comes from above, she will be able to recognize Mr. Wrong from a mile away and keep her distance.
