God’s design for womanhood

[Galahad]

I believe in submitting unto my 'husband' as he is head of the home. I was asked once if this was something I learned from the bible or something that came naturally to me. I really had to think about it for a while and realized that it does come naturally to me because God created me to be that type of a person. But even though the wife submits to her husband does not mean that the husband and wife cannot be a team because they sure can be. Thank you for confirming my viewpoint on this, Galahad.

It was easy. Because what you wrote was not only right, but it was well said. 100%!

Staying home and taking care of and raising a child requires strength, patience, humility, faith, wisdom, and love. Talents? No. Those are virtues.
Staying at home is not the short end of the stick. There is no stick. It is seeing. It is a vision. It is looking beyond the present and into the future.

I hope you don't believe that staying at home to raise a family is getting short changed in life. It is not.

JF please don't think so negative about staying home for children.

Tell that to the dozens of guys that have made crude women jokes about women staying in the kitchen.

I work at a preschool/daycare and I think a lot of people don't realize the affect of dropping their kid off at 8 and picking them up at 6 has on the child.

Every situation is different. Every family is different. Some need both the parents to work just to make ends meet.

Tell you what, then, some dozens of guys may first want to consider what the woman can do in the kitchen, cognizant "better watch what you ask for."

And so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. -Titus 2:4-5

God instructs us that we are to love our husbands. We are to love our children! We are to be self-controlled, which means to always be striving against sin in our everyday life and to be pure.


He wants us to be working at home. I know being a stay at home wife and mother is can be hard work. It takes constant diligence and work. He instructs us to be kind to our family and to others. And we are to be submissive to our husbands. Plain and simple, God has laid this out in His word. We just have to listen.

I couldn't help but notice you started three threads all with the same theme: submitting to men/husbands. Honestly, it's coming across to me that you're making a serious effort to get it across that you would be a submissive wife. My first question would be: Why?

Why is that the only thing on your mind? Who are you selling your point to? It almost seems to me you're trying to convince someone(s) of your beliefs. My second question would be: Who?

I believe God designed woman to be beautiful inside...loving, and nurturing. The wives be submissive to your husbands...means of course be loving and kind and pleasing to a good gent. But I know that does not mean God wants us women to lie down and be walked on like a dog to some men...and call it submissiveness! That's not submissive that's just plain wrong and evil if a man treats a woman badly. God doesn't tolerate evil...no matter who wants to say its submissiveness to a husband. We are women,..we are mothers, we are beautiful in Christ.
