Does a Wise Woman Have Less Chances at Marriage? | @intercession4ag, @trackstarz

Women who desire a healthy marriage are in a unique position. Women in this position must overcome negative stereotypes associated with them. One of the negative stereotypes is that the wiser or more mature a woman is, the less likely she is to find a marriage partner.
This has circulated in Christian communities, as I’ve heard women and men bring this up. I’ve heard women share how they will hide their Biblical literacy. For some, this dumbing down becomes a natural way to cope with the fear of never being chosen for love. The hope is that if our intelligence is hidden, men will not be intimidated by us.
