I wasn't sure where to put this particular thread so I'm hoping that here is the correct spot since it does stem from our sermon at church yesterday evening.
Our sermon was part of a series on being seperate. We talked last night about the differences in men and women, not only physically but spiritually. What really struck me was the big differences between the genders. For example, in general men are bigger, stronger, and more agressive than us women. They are louder and are more ready for the action movies, sports, wrestling with each each other and that sort of stuff. Women on the other hand, for the most part, are smaller, weaker, and more emotional. God designed each gender a certain way and that's the way we should be. Men are to be manly and protectors of the women and children. Women are to be meek and quiet and soft spoken. That's how we are designed and that's the way we should be. Our nation and world have gone downhill since so called women's rights activists have "freed" us from our lowly exsistance. I prefer to be under my hubby's protection!!
I was brought up believing that women are just as good as men and we should do everything for ourselves. That we can work and raise a family and do it all. God didn't design us to do that!! My question is how do I become that meek and quiet spirit that God intended for me to be? I do good, for the most part, on submitting to my hubby but I'm not where I should be!! I have 2 daughters that I do not want to struggle with this as adults. I have 2 sons that I would love to teach to be gentlemen. Well, hubby would do the teaching mostly but I want them to know what to look for in a wife. Any suggestions??
