A shortage doesn’t indicate a buyer’s market.

One comment I see from fathers with surprising regularity is that their unmarried daughter is in a great position to find a husband because she’s not remotely interested in the kind of men who express interest in her.  Even worse, the longer this pattern persists the more pleased with their daughter’s marriage prospects the fathers become!  I wrote a year and a half ago about the same basic topic in An attitude of abundance.

I still think my previous analysis applies, but something else struck me today.  I also think this is tied into the erroneous idea that the Bible teaches that men should pursue and women should judge the performance.  But it isn’t the Bible that teaches this ethic, it is the religion of Courtly Love that teaches this.  Think of the only two women to have books of the Bible named after them.  Both Ruth and Esther pursued their eventual husbands.  Ruth’s pursuit of Boaz resulted in her being the grandmother of King David, which meant that Christ would come from her line.  Esther’s pursuit of Ahasuerus allowed her to save the Jews.

But since very few Christians can separate Christianity from Courtly Love/Chivalry, there is a widespread belief that Courtly Love is God’s model.  In the Courtly Love model a man selects a woman and sets out to prove his worth to her in the hope of winning her heart.  The woman’s only job is to keep being awesome while deciding if the man’s performance is worth rewarding with a token of her favor.  This is what so many unmarried women and their fathers are so loudly complaining is lacking today.  It isn’t Christian, but it is a religious expectation.
