The Bible says that husbands should love their wives (Ephesians 5:25), I've always taken this to mean that women need to be told they are loved. Then the Bible also says wives should respect their husbands (1 Peter 3:1). I think that's how men get their affirmation from women, through respect. Of course, we're not supposed to depend on humans for this, but if a couple is married or courting, it's not a bad thing to give and receive both love and respect.
I didn't say anything about holiness...so I don't know why you mentioned that. I did talk about the character Cinderella's traits, which I think are good ones. Humbleness, courageous, gentle, hopeful, joyful. I think these are traits any man would want in his wife and wives in their husbands. So I don't get why men complain about women acting like princesses. I think the women they are referring to act more like her stepsisters.

I think the worst threads we have here are the ones where a guy insists on marrying only a virgin.
And, you know this forum is in a lot of trouble when I'm the only troll left.

And haunt you, and haunt you, and haunt you, and every time you think it is finally dead, in the ground and there to stay it will come back to haunt you again and three years from now when you have forgotten all about it... it will come back to haunt you again!

I always thought Cinder's name was short for Cinderella. Is it, Cinder??
I am enjoying this discussion. My perspective when I read it is that it is the woman's responsibility to be so completely given over to Christ that no man can sway her or distract her unless the man is already in Christ himself. So many women feel that they have failed if they are not part of a couple, they are not complete. Most of their time is spent hoping and anguishing over being single. For me what she wrote is a call for women to have her priorities straight so that those things don't matter and that her joy comes in her relationship with Christ. I heard what you were saying Zero. I just saw it as a call to make sure I live what I believe. It never occurred to me that men would feel put down and I agree that it should apply to both genders.
