All these opportunities exist in spades. What exactly does feminism have left to fight for? We are living way downstream from what feminist wanted. At what point is the fight over?

@Mink57 You asked several times about the husband. Lots of Scriptures address husbands, but if Im a wife, I cannot control the actions of my husband. I focus on what I can control and the verses that apply to me. I entered marriage with a mindset that as long as my husband did his part and...

Thank you for being a voice of reason in my life. I had so few at the time.

Unfortunately I did leave him for a while that time. I can't overstate how justified I felt in doing so. It wasn't until things came to a crossroads that I began changing my thinking about my own marriage.

Sorry, I have terrible memory. It's nothing against you personally. You and Butero were telling me that.

Our premarital counseling was a joke. The pastor's daughter who wasn't married herself did it because the pastor didn't want to. Apparently he's not a fan of interracial couples. I wouldve been better prepared practicallly with skills to run a household. Spiritually, I wish I had been taught...

Women, Christian or not, are no longer taught that being a devoted wife is a  ministry. Ministry is not just all about pastoring and being up in front of a church. The ministry of a wife is one of showing reverence and respect, being a lover, being submissive, serving to make your husband's...

I do understand that there are different situations than mine. Some men refuse to step up and become what God wants them to be. And I respect women who can stand alone after a disastrous marriage. A lot of what I say relates to the context of an average marriage. God doesn't necessarily owe us...

@Ritajanice I'm convinced arguing can worsen our spirits. In 1 Cor, I read that strife is a work of the flesh that can keep us from inheriting the Kingdom of God. 2 Timothy 2:24 King James Version 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach...

I knew I wanted a masculine man before I got married. But in order to get that, I had to learn to be feminine. Life is full of trade offs. I had to give up insisting on my way in the marriage for my husband to lose his timidity and gain confidence in himself as a man.

No worries. Thank you so much @Ritajanice !

Less of me, more Christ

A husband is a covering. That's what my husband does for me. Specifically, he takes on the financial pressure and faces issues outside the home while I stay preserved and soft as a homemaker. I used to work and do a lot of things that competed with my husband. Back then, I wanted my husband...

Not feeling the need to argue anymore or wanting to. I think Ive learned all Im going to learn from the ones opposing me.

I think people realize already that feminism is a broken ideology. I really believe many are wishing to suppress truth, not that they don't know it. There's also lot of incentive to avoid reality, since people have sunk so many years into believing the feminist mythology.

Im illustrating my point with from my marriage. Its more than youve done to defend your point of view. Saying "not all x" is just a deflection to undermine what Im saying.

I said they tried, not that they succeeded

Nothing wrong with an example. Why not defend your view of marriage? An example in my marriage does more than what you are doing.

This is how we used to run our marriage. I expected my husband to help with the chores. I was expected to help with the bills since we were both working. A. This caused us to argue about chores and finances because we disagreed on how both should be run. B. We each were less efficient when...
