How Sexy Can a Christian Wife Be?

Hello World,

I’m chin deep in wedding planning and sometimes I must admit it feels like I’m drowning in it (Pray for me :)) …But every now and then I’ve managed to keep up with the hot topics of the day…So last Sunday (yes, a bit late for this post I know) as I watched the BET Awards, I saw THE DRESS…It was the dress that Actress Meagan Good wore to the star-studded music celebration. For a Hollywood starlet, the dress was sexy, but no more daring than the green Versace dress that J.Lo wore to the GRAMMY Awards in 2000 or even more daring, barely there dress that Toni Braxton wore to the 2001 GRAMMY Awards….But for Ms. Good, who can be known as Mrs. Franklin, wife of Columbia Pictures Executive DeVon Franklin, who is also a minister, the dress was scandalous…And the fact that she wore the dress as she presented the gospel music artist award got many Christians worked up to a lather…

While I’m in interested in what you think about her dress, I thought the discussion about her dress brings to light another more important discussion… How sexy can a Christian wife be? Can a Christian wife even be sexy? It seems that once women (Christian or otherwise) get married, they are expected to wear mom jeans, cut their hair short and wear more mature clothing…And what about those wives and moms on talk shows that are always getting makeovers? As my wedding date gets closer, I am wondering what is appropriate clothing for a Christian wife?

Any thoughts?

  1. I am not a prude by any means but she definitely crossed the lines of good taste and looked down right tacky. Especially for presenting an award for Christian music. As far as can a Christian wife be sexy my answer is yes. If a woman has a rocking body and wears a form fitting dress with (nothing hanging out by the way or dress so tight you can see everything God blessed her with) a pretty church hat, cute heels, nice purse what’s wrong with that? I see it all the time and is an attraction for me, my take away is that you can serve God and still look good even
    sexy but within certain limits.

  2. What is appropriate for a Christian wife? This is one of the many reasons I can’t deal with organized religion. A bunch of homely looking women with an opinion about everyone and everything (not you Jackie…talking about the gossiping hens that I know). Meagon looked GOOD, and had the body to go with it! Those that think she didn’t look nice should probably put down the McDonald’s. Now, was it appropriate for that category? Well, I’ve seen most presenters look similar to her. But again, because she is married to a pastor, maybe a little less cleavage???? At the same time, he knew that he was marrying an actress and she has to look the part. Now, instead of wondering what the “First Lady”had on, which by the way isn’t biblical, good old never sinning, “I don’t judge people”Christians might want to focus on their bible abiding male pastors selecting a first gentleman…
    Church people are a trip. Meagan, you looked good, maybe a little less cleavage so good old Christian folks can calm down.

    • LOL about a bunch of homely and thanks for not including me in that group…I do think Meagan Good got people talking about her which I imagine is essential in Hollywood…If no one knows you’re there, how will you get roles?
