That study you posted was from a website that had a clearly pro-egalitarian name. Im not really convinced by the statistic. Statistics can be manipulated really easily. I have yet to see an egalitarian marriage that is A. Happier than my own marriage. B. Actually equal. Egalitarian is the...

I know my Mom put in more effort than usual. She worked full time, spent quality time with my Dad, my brother, and I, and kept the home clean. Most of the women I know and used to be friends with may aspire to work a little or have lots of fun experiences but they know very little about having...

"They're wrong to tell us (women) we can't have it all!" You can. But at what cost? Life is full of trade-offs. A woman can be married, have kids, and have a full time career that required years of education. My Mom did all those things. But there was a cost. She was often tired and...

All the best to you

There is nothing wrong with being a super modest conservative muffin 80 percent of time. In fact in my humble home country the United States, plenty of women ought to move in that direction immediately. Use the other 20 percent to throw in some surprises for your husband.

Have made it to Onederland!! I weigh in at 199.6 lbs this morning! That's 14.257 stone for my UK friends. Yayy!! I wasn't expecting that. My eating had been sort of erratic. Pizza, pasta, bread, ice cream were definitely eaten, though I tried to focus on protien. Last night, my in laws took...

Trust is the goal but its earned by consistent action. Its not just a given. Im glad you two are talking more because of this thread. The best case scenario is that she values loyalty, supportiveness, and kindness in a man above all else. Maybe? But if this is her type why didn't she marry...

I never said a wife can never have her own interests and priorities. I said the wife needs to pull in the same direction as her husband. There are interests and pursuits a woman can have that undermine a marriage and this happens often. If I wanted my husband to just be an accessory to my...

I am feeling uneasy. Two Reasons. 1. Assuming that not leading will never harm the relationship or you in the relationship is unwise. Time and life events can change a woman's priorities. 2. Assuming that your marriage will operate like your grandparents from the word go is also unwise...

You are free to do as you wish of course. Marriage roles are a matter of of wisdom, not necessarily life or death. What happens if you disagree on something important? How do conflicts get resolved? I think the equal say approach is unwise for several reasons. Conflict resolution problems...

IWhen I say the man takes responsibility, I dont mean the woman takes none. Married women absolutely can make or break the way a marriage and household operate. We have a huge role to play. We can tear down a household or build it up. What I mean is that the man is on the front lines and owns...

I can be very ambitious in pursuit of being an excellent wife, Mom, and homemaker. But none of those things are complete without love. Love is mainly sacrificial rather than unconditional---being willing to suffer for the sake of others. When I complain about the things I do for my...

Right. IMaybe I should explain my thinking on what makes debates go well... Cream always rises to the top. I think being too defensive and hostile can weaken your argument. If an idea has merit, it can stand without that sort of thing. C.S Lewis compared truth to a lion. You don't defend a...

I would say most people in my generation view patriarchy and traditional marriage as toxic. Text is bad at conveying tone. In a neutral, curious sense, What do you think patriarchy is/looks like in a relationship? Im not looking for the "right" answer. I genuinely want to know how you...

I did go without wearing pants for a while. I really fell in love with skirts and dresses. Some Denominations like Oneness Pentecostals and independent Baptists are against women wearing pants. I think they cite Deuteronomy 22:5...the verse against men and women dressing to look like the other...

I dont agree. I believe Proverbs 31 doesnt make sense of being an example of feminine excellence. But the most important thing about the Proverbs 31 woman is that she fears the Lord.

Some women won't wear pants. I respect that but I don't see an issue with it from Scripture.

I do apologize for not responding to @Naomanos and @Skovand IIve had really limited internet time lately but I do appreciate you both and everyone posting here whether I agree or not.

Found this product. Im planning to buy it!
