Fulfilling biblical male and female roles

[Sevenseas]

Being a "cheerleader" does not mean she's a mindless bimbo. But do you not want your wife to build you up? To make you feel like a stud?

I'm with Barry on this one... a stud? sorry for interrupting...guess I've seen too many horses

I guess my dad really messed me up when he told me I could think for myself....I'm a terrible actor

ps: I'll say too...please don't be offended...I don't mean it that way...I have a different view on things from time to time

Right, sevenseas. My problem is probably my mother, who is an extremely intelligent, capable person. My parents have been married for a few decades now, and on the whole seem to have a happy marriage built on deep mutual respect.

Guilty. (no one take that out of context please...just a rejoinder) That's not a problem IMO! I mean, one might ask why God creates a woman with a high IQ then...I have actually been known

to say...'well, you should have married a Barbie then...sorry I just look like one (haha..blond joke)

But seriously, I have a real need to discuss and understand things....about the worst thing a person could say to me is.....you won't understand, or not right now, or put me off in some way that

seems to entail I do not have the capacity to understand...that's a prob for me

I just don't think a woman should pretend anything. I don't think a man should either

I don't pretend with my wife. I love her to the point of discombobulation. I love her for everything she is, when she is down, when she is grouchy, when she laughs (often and always..). I love her for her intelligence (she is the maths brain of the family).

I love the fact that she reads the bible and tears flow down her face, I love the fact that when she leads worship she cries. I love the fact that she knows scripture better than most people I know. I love the way she cooks, I mean she is an excellent cook! I love her love for others. I love the way that when people see her they automatically smile. I love the way every time she sees me come home, it's like I have been away for a month. I love the way she smiles every time she looks at me.

I love the way she makes her own clothes, not because she has to, but because she wants to. I love the way I have seen her make 10 or so outfits for 10 girls in an orphanage, when she could go out and buy what she needs, but she does it because it is serving.

Nothing much scriptural in that little reveal, but I don't care. I'm in love......

I mean like really!

[Sevenseas]

and I love the way you describe her.

Appreciation goes such a very long way.

Now about that animal in your profile picture - "This animal is dangerous at both ends and cunning in the middle" - Sherlock Holmes on being asked to ride a horse.....

When I read the comments made by Baryonoctet, I was having a hard time believing any man would say what he did? It actually made me think of an opinion you would give. I don't fully disagree with him on the idea that women shouldn't have to hide their feelings, and always be cheerful. Part of marriage is being able to confide in one another, so I had no problem with any of that, but when he went further and attacked the 50s, and the way things were back then, I couldn't let it go. If my wife is down, I am more than happy to discuss her feelings with her. At the same time, I don't want someone who is going to be a critic. I get enough of that mess in the world. She doesn't appreciate it if I do that to her either. I have also noticed that Baryonoctet doesn't even come into agreement with scripture with regard to Biblical submission. He acknowledged what scripture said, but seemed to have a personal problem with it?

I figure, if he wants a wife that goes around criticizing him, I hope that is exactly what he gets. If that makes him happy, more power to him. I am sure his wife would love it if he was critical of her, rather than being someone who is supportive of her.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. Proverbs 21:9

The word brawling is from the Hebrew word medan, and it means discord, strife.

Someone who had really good teachings on marriage is the couple in Arkansas with the 18 kids.

awww shucks ..you thought of little ole me? Really?

But how does one attack the 50's and do the 50's feel the need to respond?

Well regarding your comment with Bary and scripture...do the 50's line up with scripture?

Bet you'll say "Well they are closer to scripture then the decade we are in now........"

There, back to normal now. Don't adjust your screen......according to Butero, we have no choice anyway

please laugh....it's a joke....she said feebly

yes, well...the one sitting on it has been injured by both ends so I can attest to that LOL!

Yeah I mean.. it's not really a problem, but it does ruin me for certain notions. I'm with you as far as being dismissed goes, I'm not cool with that either.

The 50s called in Butero for defense.

Somebody had to stand up for them. They are always getting a bad rap.
