Answer 1

Absolutely not.
Too bad you're living in the 21st century!
"Family values" is a term used by white, republican men to keep minorities stuck in the roles they were forced into over the last 700 years.
I suggest you open your eyes to what true family values are- loving relationships, equality and compassion.
True family values has nothing to do with men in the workplace and women at home- those are just part of an archaic, patriarchal ideology.

Answer 2

Wow, Lots of hate answers. I hope you were trolling and expecting that.

Complex Question.

I'm a Christian Women, but also a Scientist, and a Leader. So I have my own struggles to find a place I fit in my life. I'm a conservative in many aspects, but place a lot of value on educational spending and private philanthropy.

The Church My husband and I joined about 2 years ago is a little more "traditional" that the way I grew up, so it took a little adjustment for me.

But here is the thing. You can either get mad or you can think. Now my husband and I are first and foremost a team. He has never been chauvinistic in any way. But it was still a little hard for me to understand the concept of Him being "Head of the House".

But there are reasons for it. The Bible basically says the Man is head of the house, and Jesus is Head of the Man. It is about knowing where to look so we are all on the same page.

A lot of women get offended when they hear the "head of the house part" and a lot of men get excited about the power. Everyone needs to remember there is one more head....Jesus. If everyone is obeying God, there shouldn't be any problems.

When people talk about Modern concepts, my personal view is that is comes down to the birth control pill. When fertility and sex became really separated on a culturally wide level it freed women from the consequences of multiple partners.

On a biological level, historically men and women have had different goals, (not socially mind you biology only.) Women have a lot invested in any pregnancy. For 9 months they give nourishment and support to the growing baby, and once it is born it requires extra around the clock care. Plus there is the chance she could die in childbirth, leaving her other children orphans. Men on the other hand have little invested biologically in a pregnancy; all they have to do is get it started. The main issue is finding someone to let you do the deed, and her being fertile at the moment you are around. The two being relatively low chances the male drive being to try often with many.

Once you include social rules into the equation, the female drive is to get the male to help her provide for the baby. The trade off for the male is that he has a greater chance to impregnate her again, and keep other males away, increasing the likely hood the child he raises is his own. If you are a Christian you also believe that God created us to love each other to stay together as man and wife.

When there are no children the biologic drive still exists. Men still want to be with women. Women still are attracted to men. But now there aren't the consequences of a family to think of. Plus because of the cultural climate of the 60's women felt oppressed from being pushed back into the home after being able to work during WWII... Women felt the only way to be free was to act like men. So we got the sexual revolution, and the drug culture.

A pleasure based society was definitely not good for anyone. But I think it is a mistake also to say that women obeyed without question before that.

It is not possible to "redo" the past and go back to the way we were before. Nor would we want to. Women are better in many professions than men.

For instance in Finland nearly all the dentists are women. It happened during their last war, they all got trained because the men were fighting...Then they found out it made sense since women have much smaller hands.

Also women have a better natural body to be astronauts. The get accustom to zero gravity faster, statistically there are less arguments between female astronauts (important for long missions), they experience less nausea, and they recover more quickly once they return.

I can't say if we are better off. But I have seen evidence of a backlash against today's too fast culture. I think families can return to traditional values with greater obedience to God, and less TV, less Junk food, more fresh air, and more time together.

That’s my 2 cents.

Answer 3

Depends on what you think "True Family Values" are. If you think that means women should always be in the kitchen or doing laundry, or anything the man says, then I think you're sorely wrong.

True family values should be defined as doing whatever is in your power to keep the family healthy and happy. If that means the father should be watching the kids, cooking, doing laundry, and the mother working to pay the bills - so be it. There should be nothing to "obey" from one another - you help each other in any way needed to keep the family growing. I think we have progressed since the older ways of stereotyping roles for each family member. Who said that that was the way it should be in the first place?! No one.

Wives help their husbands and husbands help their wives.
There is no ordering each other around in a family.

Answer 4

There was no real time when women obeyed without question. After all, you don't know what was said in private. I would say families were better off when one family member could work and support the home but things cost to much for that now.

Answer 5

I feel the family values is somewhat correct. But mostly because these days we have freedom to leave an abusive mate, are children are born into a world of choices and not slavery to parents. I could not see myself married to a man who had a mistress and they all did. Even Thomas Jefferson kept many, many mistresses and had children. I would never be submissive the way it use to be. "obey" your husband. There are cultures now today that believe that is how it should be. Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints believe that right or wrong no matter what you are submissive to your man. The man is head of household no matter what kind of jerk he may be.

Answer 6

I think the world was definitely a better place when there was a hierarchy in the world, but I think it makes a better family when the man loves the woman and is willing to listen to her opinion. After that, however, he should have the last say and she should obey and respect him.

Answer 7

Being a woman I would have to say......NO!

I think if women ruled the world there would be fewer wars, and more compassion and understanding.

If men obeyed women, common sense would be a factor in all things, and the world wouldn't be so screwed up.

Answer 8

I wouldn't want to be just obeyed , that is treating a woman like a dog, I am maried to a partner, don't always agree, don't always see I to I, we are together now 28 yrs. for better or worse.
Make your vows mean something.

Answer 10

Of course not. That was a world of oppression. Who would want to go back to that?
