Hey I have an idea...how about we not worry about the man woman thing and just look into what the Bible tells us about who we are to be as Gods children?

WOC stated from her heart as to who she feels the Bible tells her to be as a woman.

How about us as men? Are we following what the Bible tells us?

And besides aren't we all Christians of the same church with Jesus as the head looking at us all as His?

I have trouble with this kind of "idealism". This is not real life. There are times in a marriage when the man needs a woman to be strong, care for him and make decisions for awhile. Then the tables will turn.

We balance each other. Like when I need help, he is there - and when he needs help, I am there. We both have our strong moments and we both have our fragile moments. He doesn't play a "masculine" role nor I a "feminine" role. We just help each other get through life.

I agree. But some people preach another Gospel and a different Jesus. The Bible isn't pure to a lot Christians. As the Proverb states: those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth; proverbs 30:12 and There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12 if you give them the bible in plain english, they don't see it. people's personal opinions are people's scripture in this generation

Femininity has a natural:
Weakness: Men are strong, firm and a little bit of hardness to them. Women are weak, delicate and soft. Being delicate and soft its okay it is very beautiful!


Submissiveness: A man is a leader and a guide. A woman is adaptable, and trustful. These traits make it easier to submit to her husband’s authority.


Dependence: Men are to provide the living (depends on the situation), and protect women and children from harm. Women are to lean on men, trust them, allow them to protect and care for them.


Tenderness: Tender feelings are part of the feminine woman. Movies, songs, books, and even television commercials will move her to tears. She has a strong sense of sympathy and has tender emotions toward the helpless. Don’t try to hide or be ashamed of these feelings.


Fearfulness: Every feminine woman has a tendency to have a natural fear of dangers. A man have the opposite tendency to be unafraid, especially when they have control over the situation.

A feminine woman leans toward trustfulness, adaptability, and fearfulness. She is submissive to her husband and has a dependency upon her husband for care and protection.

Masculine nature is stronger, harder, firmer. Men are natural leaders and guides, and they have a natural tendency to command. They are competent, aggressive and protective. The feminine woman lack these masculine tendencies.



The feminine nature makes a man more willing to offer his care and protection. As he begins to care for a woman his love and tenderness toward her grows. When you are too independent and self-sufficient he feels no need for caring for you and this causes his love and tenderness to fade. He loves that which he shelters and protects. When you display a feminine nature it awakens his need to take care of you, do things for you, protect you, shelter you and devote himself to you. While he is doing these things his feelings of love deepen.

WomanofChrist28,

This is a very good post, don't be bothered by those who choose not to submit to the position in which God has placed them. God has created things in the order that He wanted them. He made Eve as a helpmate for Adam. Paul said that God is the head if Christ, Christ is the head of man, and man is the head of woman. That idea is not popular in the American society and sadly in many churches. However, we are accountable to God not the American society. I thought you post was excellent and very insightful

Some of this is more cultural than biblical. I don't really have anything against it, but I kind of doubt that too many biblical women would have been considered weak, soft and delicate. You couldn't have been too soft and delicate back in those days and do all of the hard, back breaking work that they had to do on a regular basis. I come from a long line of hard working mountain women and while they were all good devout women they worked too hard and their lives were too tough for them to be too soft or delicate.

Is is there a Bible verse saying that women must be fearful? I didn't think we were supposed to have a spirit of fear.

WomanofChrist, I like your sincerity. I hope you receive the perfect thing for your life, whether it be a man you're dreaming of, a man who surprises you, or even if it's no man. I am praying for the Lord to give you whatever He knows is perfect.

I don't want to tell you what to think, but I feel like I should let you in on a secret or two.

Men DO have a natural tendency to be afraid in scary situations. But if he is a Godly man, he will become more unafraid when he sees his bride looking to him for help. He knows he must be brave for her, and he stands up for himself and her. You are absolutely correct when you say,

"When you display a feminine nature it awakens his need to take care of you, do things for you, protect you, shelter you and devote himself to you."

But I want you to know that men are vulnerable too, and cry at sad movies, and get in bad moods and want to kick things. A good woman makes a good man want to be better, but a good man admires a strong woman. Strong in her way, in the way God made her.

I think of Deborah in the Bible. Her husband was dead, and she was one fierce, Godly lady who told the king of Israel to man up. She didn't need a husband to get her strength, it came from God. And then Ja-el didn't run and get her husband when a bad guy ran int her tent, she took care of it by herself. Now I'm not trying to say women shouldn't wake their husbands up if they hear an intruder in the house, God forbid it! But a strong woman is and always will be a beautiful thing.

Ironically, I'm getting a little emotional thinking about how beautiful strong Godly women are. :)

Love you sister, -JIM
