I was raised in a feminist soup so I have actively tried to unlearn the mindset that stroking a man's ego is demeaning to me as a woman in some way. The reality is my husband is facing pressure and and battles I don't fully understand. The world will beat him down. Who will encourage him if I...

They want women like my dear friend. She was 19, wanting to be a homemaker, Godly, debt-free, virtuous, seeking to be a wife and not casually date, and able to take care of a home and children. She is married to a man with a highly successful business worth millions. But whether you attract a...

This is so true. I wanted a man who would be strongly opinionated to essentially make up for the passivity of my father. I got that in spades with my husband but we had to to on a journey to get where we are now. He wasn't always well paid, mature, steady, and confident. He made mistakes in...

Some great points brought up here. Its encouraging to see!

I also find it sad that feminism believes domestic life us demeaning for women. I look forward to your thread.

Home can be a source of chaos or a place of pure delight. It's all about what you invest in it.

Life can be hard sometimes. One thing I've struggled with is perfectionism. While I don't think striving for moral perfection is bad, I've struggled with the fact that in order to become excellent at something, I have to struggle and be bad at it first. When I struggle, I tend to get...

Ministry is a non negotiable. I try to do things to help others beyond just my immediate family and this can be a continuous weight so I get that. I was casting a wide net with my initial post because I think people can be caught in a net so to speak of caring so much about politics that they...

I won't wait for life to be perfect. I choose joy and contentment now. My God is with me.

Political detachment is not necessarily about never being informed or involved. It's about embracing the fact that we have very little control over it all and could possibly be better off focusing on our own interests primarily. I love pro life stuff. But I dont need to be marching on the...

I vote for more political detachment. Being consistently informed and opinionated about politics is overrated. You can be informed and have the "right" opinions but what does this actually do in the world? I see far more people being driven to rage and angst from political news than doing any...

Lack of accountability is more a problem for women in the west. If a woman is abused, she can go to the police, a domestic violence shelter, and get a lot of support. A Man who is abused has less resources and can even be accused of abuse himself.

My husband and I were both raised in wife-in-charge type households. I saw firsthand that even though my mom deliberately chose a passive man, she was exhausted and not suited to lead the household. Leadership is not an easy task.

I reflect back to my husband many lessons he's taught me. I strive to be my best because he has invested so much in me.

I'm thankful to have deactivated my Facebook account. I just use their messenger service now. I have a limited amount of empathy to give that should mostly be going to my loved ones and not folks on a social media account. I keep up with my family through a group text and have a handful of...

I don't fit in. I hate that so much of American culture has become about competing downward to maintain a false sense of equality. America was a meritocracy. Each individual was credited based on their own merit. Now so many are competing in the victim Olympics and I can't really get behind it.

A lot of young men are opting out of marriage today. I would rather that, than people end up in disastrous marriages. It's odd to say it because marriage has given me a sense of purpose and identity. But we live in a "me first and only" culture that is not conducive to marriage. Men in the...

I've made peace with being feminine. Im actually glad my husband sees me as the weaker vessel and does not expect the same amount if work as himself. I don't have to do what he does. Like Eve, I'm a helpmate and a companion. I'm here to beautify life beyond just survival and nurture life as a...
