I know I can set boundaries with a woman who initiates a relationship, that I would confidently limit the relationship to a friendship. I know I can wait for the right woman to take the role of being the initiator of an exclusive relationship, because my starting and end goal for a decisive relationship with a woman is marriage.
In the meantime, I will take on the responsibility of brotherhood for all the women and men. With the women, I can still initiate as a brother, to participate in family activities amongst the brethren. If the numbers of the church body continue to be more numerous among females, then there is more responsibility for the men that remain to be faithful to the word of God.
Women can be faithful to the word of God as well. The fact that the women are outnumbering the men may signify the true works of faith among women, that they are not gathering themselves with the disobedient, but standing firm in the faith of Jesus Christ. These women have confidence in the faithfulness of their Father in heaven, who knows what is best for all who are His.
