Topic: Male Headship | |
---|---|
I've been wondering what people nowadays think about relationships. Do you believe the man is the head of the house, the leader, and the wife submits to him as his helpmeet? Like, that's what the Bible says, but it seems like so many people find that as old fashioned. As for me, I think the Bible is as up to date as ever, and life would be better if we followed it. What do you all think?

Women have become emancipated since biblical times. Imagine..they have choices now. Ofttimes, the pecking order is directly related to who brings home the bacon as technically they hold sway over where it goes. I think, however, most women are comfortable being the power behind the throne ;-) |

Hmmm... I guess I am old fashioned. Maybe I was born in the wrong century. Seriously my ideal life would be to take care of my husband and let him lead. 🤷♀️

You’re submissive. That’s okay, but it’s a choice.
My belief is let him think he’s in charge. I like dominant men that take care of me, but I am capable of caring for myself. |

That's just it. It's a choice. And it should be. Some folks are happy living under theocratic taliban type rules. Others, how ever do not want to live that way.

Pay NO attention to Secularists guided by Marxism, as Marx's objective was to destroy Christianity, the Church, Christian Marriage, Christian Family, and Western Capitalist Civilization. Marx's followers, whether they even realize they are his followers, play a continuing role in the destruction of all of aforementioned...... Christian wives have THE MOST freedom as they have the full protection, love, care & support of their spouse, i.e. Christian Head of Household..... Look with the "choice ridiculum" has brought us.....for nearly, while SCOTUS was controlled by Marxists, it was temporarily legal to murder an unborn citizen.... ....a citizen that should be afforded the "Right to Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness." Do NOT let Post-Marx Americans degrade the value that YOUR Good Christian Parents added unto YOU. Soooo, go Yea therefore and PRAY for a "Good & Chaste Mate." And May GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. |

Yeah, it posted twice and I wasn't sure how to delete one. Sometimes my comments post twice too. I blame my phone, but it's probably my fault.

Great topic, I've actually been thinking about this subject a little bit lately.
My thoughts are to each his/her own. I've been in both roles. The first being in my marriage to my sons' father. It was more of a matriarchal household where I made all the important decisions and was basically in charge. He worked, but had the more passive role. After twelve years, I left. Thinking I wanted a more "manly" kind of man, haha, one who was in charge and I had the more passive role, I sought out those kind of relationships. My last relationship was more like that. After being friends for a few years, we thought we'd be perfect as a couple. He provided me with that "take care" of me thing I thought I wanted. I even went as far as working parttime where he worked, and stayed home the rest of the time playing "susie homemaker". I left six months later, haha! Neither role, by itself, is okay with me now! I'm interested in more of a partnership, a balance between both roles. One where we lead each other, nurture each other, and neither of us have supreme authority over the other. In my opinion, neither person should be the one in charge or have leadership over the other. Sometimes circumstances happen where one is called upon to take the lead, but it isn't a forever thing. Nor should gender be the deciding factor in who is the one who takes the lead, when it is needed. |

It'll be different for everyone and every couple as it's all about what you're (both) comfortable and happy with.
The bible is a book that was made by men. Women had no say in it whatsoever as in those days women were oppressed and regarded inferior creatures. So it was made my men only and in an extremely patriarchal time. That is not a particularly good guide for people today. It's also not up to date, it's as out of date as can be! But if you're comfortable living under those conditions, as a submissive and inferior being, then you can do that. We do have choice these days whereas in the times the bible was created they did not. |

But if you're comfortable living under those conditions, as a submissive and inferior being, then you can do that. We do have choice these days whereas in the times the bible was created they did not. Well, considering the Bible hasn't even been fulfilled completely, I know it isn't "out of date." But, I do realize many people think it is. I honestly would rather follow the design, the Creator of everything made. Does it seem "fun" all the time? Nah. Not really. Because like someone else said, I AM independent. I can think for myself. But, maaaan... It would be nice to have someone who knew the Bible and how to lead, and for me to only say "yes, sir" and follow it. It would take a lot of stress off, that honestly, women aren't made to handle. I know, I know, we're all strong and blah blah blah. I don't think women are weak, but we ARE the "weaker vessels." Arm wrestle almost any man and he will win. We were just made for different roles. Both are needed... That's just what I think. |

You are on the right path to finding someone long term. Men have an inherent need to protect and provide - and women have a need to nurture.
People that tell you that the bible is old and outdated have no faith, so what the hell do they know. I doubt they've tried to read and understand it because had they - the secrets to happiness are right there. I wouldn't be listening to feminists either, because they are delusional. It's a foolish doctrine that is actually doing more harm to women, than helping. They are the exact reason western men are going to different countries to find themselves a traditional wife. They try and say that's to take advantage of "poor and destitute" women that are uneducated - but really, the way the women from these countries are brought up, is more in line of the way men and women should be, and they usually are from countries with a strong faith..... and I promise you if shlt ever hit the fan and women weren't provided the luxuries and amenities that they have today - they would latch on to man real quick. It's easy to pizz and moan about oppression from their house and infrastructure that was built by men. They will complain that in the past it was "patriarchal" and women were oppressed - when in reality, it was extremely hard on both sexes and the best way of survival was to team up and take on the elements together because we were built to compliment each other - ironically, by God. You find the RIGHT man to submit to, and you will be happy for a long time with a loving man that will respect you, because he knows exactly what you are giving him. |

most importantly the two become one so it's a team effort and if the man can bring home the bacon all by himself then yeah she can stay home and fry it up in the pan LOL but in this day and age it takes two to make a thing go right all the way down the line so that means if the woman's out there working too then the man needs to be Washington dishes taking out the trash doing clothes you know it all comes back to a team effort that's the main thing that's what the relationships all about but the most important thing is putting God at the head of it all because he is the third in the twine of the two that makes the strongest rope

As long as she's doing what her husband wants her to do, she's doing what she's supposed to.

I think times are changing as far as equality is concerned, equality between the sexes I mean.
While men have had the top jobs and better pay over the years there has to be balance in any argument. More men have had the bottom jobs too. More men have emptied your bins. More men have built your homes in often freezing or hot uncomfortable temperatures. More men commit suicide. More men have died in wars. Radical feminism is dangerous, absolute madness. I heard one say on some talk show that top jobs should be shared 50/50 between sexes, overlooking talent. We need to be careful what we wish for. In countries that have tried to become egalitarian the differences between men and women grew rather shrunk. More men opted for building jobs and what you could call traditional male jobs, engineering, electrical, bricklaying. More women opted for what you could call traditional womens jobs. Nursing, teaching, mums. Women are better at dealing with people. Men are better at dealing with things. This isn’t tradition, this is nature. Give me a guy that opens a door for you any day. |

Yeeees! We are made differently. Why do women want to be the same?! We aren't built the same, and I actually appreciate the differences.

dear Lord please don't let this come out wrong but the woman was taken from man Joe b man's mate and to be there to help and support him that's the way God intended it that's what the Bible says but they always scream about equal rights but they can't do equal work because that's just not the way it was designed God design female to be support to the male so he wouldn't be lonely and I don't know it's it's kind of weird please forgive me because I don't want to sound racist because there ain't nothing better than the supportive female whether she be working doing dishes intimacy that's what it's all about but the main focus is God has to be the head of it all so you got the two joined as one in trying together with God which makes the three twine wrote which is solid and strong I'm always giving women rights but if you can't equally do what a man does then you shouldn't have equal rights God that sounds so sexist and I'm sorry but just a good man with a good woman focused on God cannot go wrong sure they'll have their trials and tribulations but as long as we pick God first in no matter what situation we're going to be okay
