Christian Singles: required reading

I just can't say how much I've enjoyed this book:

Pyromaniacs: Book review — Just Do Something, by Kevin DeYoung

Chapter 9 - "Work, Wedlock, and God's Will" is required reading for Christian singles, especially pages 106-107 where he says:

Pray less that God would show you who is the right husband or wife and pray more to be the right kind of husband or wife...Dump your list of the seventeen things you need in a wife and make yourself a list of seventeen things you need to be as a husband.
and this

There's nothing wrong with being single.  But gentlemen, there is something wrong with waiting around for God to pluck a woman from your side.  He did it for Adam, but He's not going to do it for you.  No matter who you marry, it will be hard work.

Men, if you want to be married, find a godly gal, treat her right, talk to her parents, pop the question, tie the knot, and start making babies.

If more Christian men did this there would be a lot of appreciative ladies.
