It is easy to say, in our eager search and anticipatory wait for the perfect man, that good guys are hard to find. This has been a claim that I have often held fast to: good guys are in short supply; it’s a hopeless search for one. However, I have come to find more recently that there really are more competent young men out there than we give credit for. When we open our eyes to see how the Lord is working in young men around us we may just be amazed. This doesn’t mean that every young man will be right for us—this is far from the case—but it is important to realize that there are young men out there who are seeking Godly women for wives, just as we are seeking Godly men. So the next question is, are Godly women in short supply?
Let us not think that since there are men to be had that they are just waiting for us to fall in their arms. There is a catch: we, as ladies, have to be preparing ourselves for them—keeping ourselves pure, making sure that we are the kind of women that these men as followers of God need. This is a thought that has convicted me before and has done so again recently. I have very, very high standards for the man I someday want to marry. Top of the list is that he loves the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind and strength. After that the list goes on for about 40 more qualities. 
Needless to say, I’ve not yet been successful in finding a guy that fits the description. It’s easy to spend time looking for Mr. Perfect-with-everything-I-want-in-a-guy, but let us not forget that these guys will more than likely have lists of their own, with qualities they are searching for in their girl. If we want to find kings, we have to be queens.
Take this as an encouragement to continually be aiming for the same qualities in your own life as those you hope to find in Prince Charming. If you have high standards for your man, be a woman of high standards. Expect that he will be searching for a woman of high standards as well, because I can almost guarantee you he will be.
