Makes you wonder where are the "Thank God you didn't marry the wrong man/woman" cards.

I'm asking this question about those of us who don't fit our gender roles, those of us who don't fit the standards of masculinity and femininity.
Is there something broken inside us?
No, not at all. Look at the entire population of the world, we are all on a continuum. You and I don't want kids, my adopted sister has 4, she was meant to be a mom. We are on one end of the spectrum and she is closer to the other. There are women who bow to what others think they should do instead of what they want to do. They end up with kids they don't want who are miserable and quite possibly abused. We are all more or less masculine, feminine, intelligent, talented, moody, rude, selfish, graceful, tuneful; we aren't meant to be anything other than what God designed us to be. That's what is meant by "everyone is unique" because we all are. Don't buy into society saying there is something wrong with you because you're not what someone else thinks you should be.Like for me, I feel like i have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Is there something broken in a woman who doesn't have this? Or a guy who doesn't have the desire to take on the role as a leader? Is there something wrong with him?
Unless of course, she is the leader of the entire home. (Man's gone, dead, doesn't care)Seriously, you guys are looking at the tiny details that don't mean anything. A woman, alone, is not the leader of the entire home. She is not the sole leader of her children.
God is over the family and the man is in charge of leading spiritually. If he's there, if he's a Christian, if he cares. If not, the woman once again takes the role.Man is head of his wife and the couple is head of their home. That said, man will be responsible for how his family turns out, not the wife.
