It's still a new year and from my own sphere of view I will be advising you to handle women with positive caution. If you are single, divorce or married man or woman, my advise for you is to lead any relationship with caution.
Most important things are somehow hidden and this is not about judgement but an advise. According to the Bible most prominent events that turned the table of history was decided by women. Here are some examples:
1. Samson you fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.... Why did you do that? Judges 16:4 So you may learn how to be in an healthy relationship because Delilah ended Samson career. You can read Judges 16:4-28
2. Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.
Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’ 2 Samuel 12:7-10
What? David I can't blame you, beauty can be very tempting. I pray for grace not to be so drunk in lust for beautiful women. Beware of lustful women you watch on TV and internet! It can cost you healthy fortunes!
3. So Herodias (an ambitious royal woman) nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to
Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered. Mark6:19,21-24
A royal grudge between John the Baptist and an Ambitious woman called Herodias (a royal queen) got him beheaded. A little girl may be royal in her mind when she becomes ambitious to slay. Do not try them with your naughty goofs and think you will get away with it. They may remember your sin even on a Christmas day.
Having said all these. Take your time to see how far your relationship and your life has gone so far through women. If it's good. Hey! Congratulations and if it's gone bad, well you need to repent God for mercy and retrace your steps to the right counsel. I will leave you with Jesus attitude towards a condem prostitute. Some religious people brought her to Jesus. They knew that through a woman most prophets were taken down. They want to try Jesus. But Jesus would not condem her but gave her a second chance.
Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” John 8:10-11
A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.
As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. (Jesus never Condemn her) Luke 7:37-38
