If I am content to be as God has made me and I am happy living the 'role' of Christian wife and mother is that not my choice? I personally see trying to be masculine as degrading. Being female does not make me less than a man.

Please do not misunderstand, I am not saying all women must live this way nor should any woman be a slave. There are managers and assistant managers. That is the relationship I am speaking of.

I know what you mean. I find my role as keeping my house in order as every bit as important as my husband bringing in a check. I think it is MORE important to raise my own kids in my own way than to go out and get a job and put them in daycare. Before anyone gets bitter at me I've been a working mom before too, and I wasn't satisfied with doing it. If it works for you that's great but as for me I choose to stay with my kids.
My husband and I work closely together and know the role each of us play - neither is greater- just different. He is head of money and spending, I am head of household matters. We have different roles but neither is more important than the other. I think it would be degrading for the both of us if I tried to take on his roles. My own would suffer or I'd be too stressed. A balanced approach works much better.

I am on board with you. God designed men and women differently and beautifully and when those differences are embraced, appreciated and even celebrated then we have PERFECT TEAMWORK for society.
It is when one is trying to out do the other that we get into trouble.
I believe women's liberation took a wrong turn when women started trying to be like men. What women were really looking for was to be appreciated for who God designed them to be as women.
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
When I am more feminine and embrace my God designed role as wife and mother of my family, then I have noticed that my husband naturally embraces his role as provider and decision maker (Not that my opinion is not considered in his decision making process).
And the reverse is true. The more he steps up to the plate and tends to the yard and leads in many difficult aspects of our lives, the more feminine I feel and I tend to keep the house nicer, his shirts pressed and his lunches made, which are all a huge help to him while he is tending to stressful situations.
We are a much better team as his masculinity brings out my femininity and when my femininity brings out his masculinity.
Besides, it makes for FAR BETTER romance too! ;)

Well said. I ride a motorcyle, and some people call me a tom-boy for that, and I always say "No, I'm not a boy, there's nothing boy about me."
I rejoice in my womanhood, and I agree that being treated fairly is not the same thing as having to become just like a man.

Hi sister. I support your stands.
My wife once struggle over this. As a graduate from top university, and someone in management position, sometime it is hard to see beyond the spiritual matters.
But I thank God that we have resloved this issues, and see the different as functional.
As the Bible says, my role is to love and sacrifice, and her role is to submit. I cannot demand her to submit, but must fist love and sacrifice for her, just as Christ did to us.

The only problem, as I see it, is if you feel as though you have to put yourself in that role. As long as you have a choice you can do what you like.

the two, based upon the placement. somebody in no way submits is going to be vulnerable because of the fact he's unable to positioned up to somebody else. yet somebody who consistently submits is going to be vulnerable because of the fact they are unable to being agressive. you like a stability. ------ maximum human beings will "positioned up" to authority which includes police or medical doctors. They proved that everybody is keen to positioned up so a ways as quite harming somebody. The milgram test proved this. human beings might ask your self yet another human to a deadly dose only becuase a guy in a lab coat reported so. you may desire to declare "i might in no way try this." yet they have proved it time and time lower back that maximum human beings will gain this. --------- EDIT: i don't get your good judgment. a guy or woman would not positioned up till they desire to. human beings in the Milgram test did not would desire to positioned up, they have been allowed to end every time they had to. Your confusing regulation with determination. =)

Some feminist does what equality with men they want superiority to them. The BIBLE never say to look down at women but hold them up. Love them as you love yourself.

Yes it's your choice. And unless I knew you well, I wouldn't interfere.
Femininity is fine; wifely submission makes me sick to my stomach.
