when I was 15 I grew up in a very strict Pentacostal faith, after attending so many single sisters meeting taught by older sisters
constantly reminding young women not to chase boys and that the bible says "He That Findeth A Wife Finds A Good Thing"!
I belived that if a man in the church asked you to marry him I had to!!
I was so afraid of men I wore dresses longer than my grandmother and ran from men.
As we now know the more you run from a man the more he wants you. It got so bad that by the time I was 18 10 brothers asked for my hand in marriage.
I drove my pastor nuts and asked him to choose for me!!!
