sml See, I don't agree with that. The etiquette goes that whoever asks, pays...unless you both come to a different agreement. My late husband and I usually had the agreement that if we wanted takeout, whoever mentioned takeout would 'buy' and the other would 'fly'. Now, that didn't ALWAYS...

Nope. Not buyin' it. There doesn't have to be a 'head'. In other words, you can't prove your point. Got it! Team is good, but why does there HAVE to be a 'primary' protector? Why can't simply being a team be good enough? Perhaps another time. I once pulled my late husband out of the way...

Depends on what you mean by that. Plus, I'm not exactly in the loop on ALL of the rights that feminists assert.

She was made to be THE man's helper. And that IS a direct quote in more than ONE version of the Bible. "The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper". God created Eve as a helper for HIM; not THEM. HIM. Where's YOUR quote that says...

Actually, yeah it is. Had Patriarchy been fair to women in general in the first place, there would have been no need for Feminism. Where's your citations to prove this? The man was not ALWAYS the head of the wife. Not until AFTER Adam and Eve sinned. What sense would it make for God to...

No, I have a problem with people who make a 'truth' claim based on their own opinion. Eve was designed by God to be Adam's helper. Women in general were not designed to be ALL man's or ANY man's helper because, per JESUS, many men and women decide NOT to marry. But being a 'helper' doesn't...

Thanks Rita. I understand that, but I think more information is needed from the OP before being able to give him any helpful advice.

But you're NOT in the Schengen area, right? Your profile shows you're in Ireland, and Ireland isn't Shengen. So, why can't she move to where you are? What bible scripture says you're already married? Does either YOURS or HER laws recognize your 'marriage' if you haven't gotten married...

Was it Liberalism or Patriarchy that gave rise to feminism? Frankly, I don't really care WHO is 'in charge', male OR female, as long as they don't wield their power and/or status like a sword and oppress others while selfishly gaining for themselves.

How did you two meet?

Genesis doesn't say anything of the sort. Eve was created for Adam as his helper, as his wife. It doesn't mean that ALL women were created for ALL men. That's where your Patriarchal Biblical view becomes skewed. I already answered this question, but you refuse to acknowledge the answer, and...

I asked a simply question, and you can't even give me a few "for examples". That's your opinion. You want to triumph over feminism. I say it won't happen. And that's MY opinion.

So, in your view, exactly WHAT are the differences? The goals of Feminism are complex. While some more radical feminists would love to see women act like men, it's not the goal of feminism in of itself. I agree. We should cooperate with each other. But then again, your idea of 'cooperation'...

God is not a universally accepted authority.

It's not ONLY about what women "should" or "shouldn't" do, or what men "should" or "shouldn't" do. What universally accepted authority wrote these rules, anyway? Right. And if a very overweight woman announced the same thing....? People would probably root for her and cheer her on, too...

No. It states that HE will rule over "YOU"; not "they" will rule over "them." God was talking to Eve. No other woman was even around then. Also, nothing about the woman's desire to "control" her husband. Try reading the passage in the original language.

Genesis 3:16 does NOT command husbands to have authority over their wives. It was a prediction to Eve about Adam. God wasn't even TALKING to Adam. He was talking to Eve. He did not tell Eve that she must obey Adam. Obviously Adam and Eve lived a different life before the Fall. Adam didn't...

I agree. I also agree. But by the same token, a husband cannot control his wife, although many TRY, in not such a Godly way. Depends on HOW he should change. I'm not about to change so much that I lose myself in the process. Of course His opinion matters the most. But God is fair. He...

I agree, but...why do YOU have to change? Seems that the bible was written MOSTLY so MEN would change. You may have been right. Well...sometimes the Lord says to GET THEE AWAY FROM THIS PERSON!!! What ever FITS for you Wynona is fine by me. As for ME? Different story.

Beautiful... If ALL men could be like your husband. Unfortunately they're not
