Ive never seen weightlifters lift women usually its those dumbells.

I remember a co worker at the bookshop lifted weights (she trained as a nurse)
I was always being picked up as a child as the bigger kids wanted to see if they could lift me. lol They still try to do it to see how strong they are

Now! That can’t be biblical. The Lord’s supper turned into a BBQ lunch? Repent before it’s too late!😂
But Jesus had a fish bbq on the beach after he got resurrected or did I just imagine that in the Bible?

What about all those loaves and fishes. where did they come from?

Oh come on girls! Don't you want a strong man to come in and take firm control of your life and lead you in a godly direction?
I definitely think the husband should take the lead...in being a good example, turning the other cheek, asking for forgiveness from the wife, quitting porn, etc. :p

In all seriousness being head of household is a weighty task. The husband is the spiritual leader/pastor of the house and should live accordingly. He is leading in that he is exemplifying Christ-like qualities in everything he does. This is more for the sake of children than for the wife. A man's leadership has different meaning for wife and children. For wife, the husband's leadership means taking ownership of responsibilities, facing difficult issues head on, etc. The children should not be privy to some of these adult issues. For children, the husband's leadership means he provides direction/teaching/instruction on how to be a good Christian.

My my, what a bunch of willful heathens we have on this forum... :p
Lordy, I made it to the bad girl list. Now all the old ladies will be gossiping about me after church for turning down old Bubba who’s strong enough to carry his own weight in beer.

Weight, like age, is just a number. If you want to lower your weight, use the metric system. If you want to increase your height, use the metric system.
I'm still waiting for the age metric. I guess I could go with decades...now I'm only 6.
Koreans count from Chinese New Years. If Chinese New Year is the day after you are born, you are one, or two... I forget how it works. But their age changes at the New Year. I don't know if they have way to give people a lower number, though.

Those Koreans! Should have their own new year lol
I know China is right next door but still.

I've celebrated 4 new years in one year in NZ. So I should be 4 times as old
