HUSBAND SCARCITY
Husband scarcity has become one of the challenges faced by many young girls today. If you go to prayer houses, majority of the prayer requests are prayers for a life partner. And this calls for concern.
Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much husband scarcity problem? Or, maybe there were more men than women then, or there was a corresponding number of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women had values and were prepared to build a home and not park into a built home. Then, once a young man came of age and could at least feed himself and his wife, he went out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciated him and helped him to build a future.
What am I really trying to say? Women created for themselves what we now see as husband scarcity. Today, the reverse is the case. Ask an average girl to define her dream husband. You get responses like "He has to be tall, handsome, fair, and rich, own a house at least, and be presentable." Then she adds "God-fearing" in order not to sound so worldly.
Check the number of girls around you and the number of men who meet that standard, and you will see the problem. You hear girls say, "I cannot suffer in my father's house and then go and start suffering with a man."
What a wonderful dream! What if at the beginning of your marriage you have everything you want and there is no suffering but later the table turns and suffering comes? Will you run away? No one prays for suffering but it is better to start small and end big than to start big and end small.
The problem is that the preconceived idea majority of girls have of their ideal man is virtually the same. When 50 girls want the same kind of man and it is only one man who fits the bill, he can marry only one! What becomes of the 49 others? They simply start lamenting of "husband scarcity."
Another irony of our time is that it is hard, due to economic constraints, to find a man.
