I think alot of the problems stem from our own fallen & corrupted
perspectives that this secular world shapes for us.
I also think it's important to add that the world also shapes some of
the NASTY stereotypes as well.
Becuz of a minority of controlling idiots, both men and the bible standard of authority are undermined and attacked unecessarily.
*& this is where I add that men NEED to be taught & raised in
the proper concepts of Godly authority too. Not to Lord it over
others as a dictator, but view his wife as the equal partner that
God gave him to help him succeed in running a smooth and
productive, God fearing home.
He's to lead & mentor the "weaker vessel" - the problem is, (from
what I hear) there aren't a whole lot of men leading the home in
getting the family to church, teaching them things of the Lord,
giving family devotions when kids are younger, etc.
That is one way they're to be the leader - praying for his family,
seeking God in the correct decisions to make, etc.
As I see the woman, God has gifted her with the qualities or gifts
that dad doesn't have . . so together, they make a powerful team.
It's too bad it doesn't work as God intended (then again, what haven't
we corrupted that He established).
Beautifully said. Men and women are equally at fault for what has happened to the family today. We can sit in here and debate the issue all we want. What really matters, though, is that when we shut down our computers, we are doing our part to make it better. All I can do is try to be the husband God called me to be, and hope that my wife will reciprocate that. I cannot force her to treat me any way, I can only treat her the way she deserves to be treated and lead our family the way God has called me to.
