Femininity in Christ is Something to be Passionate About

[Wynona]

Western women of the past were simply expected by the culture to be feminine, submit to their husbands, and keep house. But passively going along with that trend made them prime candidates for feminist dogma.

When women see married life, children, homemaking, and feminity as boring, dull, insignificant, and less valuable, even homemakers can feel insecure, lost, and lack confidence.

No!

Femininity is fun, creative, spicy, alluring, sexy, and did mention fun?

Marriage is an incredible blessing---an opportunity to invest in a man and watch him grow into a confident desirable man of God through your support!

Children? You are shaping eternity through them!

Homemaking? The most free, rewarding, and creative job I've ever had.

I lacked confidence in the start of my housewife journey and some hag even said I wasn't pulling my weight in the marriage.

No! Just... no

Rise up, woman of God! Your virtue, your wisdom, your femininity, your nurture, your beauty, is the driver of invention and civilization. We would still live in caves if not for women. Men are inspired to grow and invent things to help us because staying alive and bearing children has always been since the Fall of man--- really really hard!

Never feel bad about being feminine. Never apologize for homemaking or being a housewife, or respecting your man or any of those other things that feminists say is demeaning. Never ever. God made you for a beautiful eternal purpose. It's not something to be ashamed of, as if we are not important to God's plan or society. It's an amazing privilege!

I think the devils like to whisper into our ears, "wouldn't life be better like that?"

Amen, my sister! Hold to your God given course!!

Much love!

I think you got the devil's logic down pat. Anyone can get too comfortable and take the bait.

I am into gender roles today and excited. As women in Christ, we get to play the role the Church plays to Jesus. We humbly obey, recieve blessings, revere, serve, and adore our Lord and Master who bought us with His own blood. It is a powerful witness of the gospel when we embrace our feminine role.

Amen!!

Which reminds me of a passage God stuck to my mind some years back . . .

2 Samuel 10:9-12 KJV
9) When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10) And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11) And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
12) Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

They were surrounded by enemy troops, and looking at possibly being overwhelmed by them.

"Let us play the men", Joab said,, "for our people, and for the cities of our God". Others were depending on them, their example, their efforts, "let us play the men". Man up . . . and let God do what is good in His eyes.

God has given us each our own part to play, and others need us to fulfill that role.

Much love!

The feminine role, what ever that is. We are all different and many women today have full time jobs. If their men expect them to do the full housewife stuff as well that is not right. Men whose wives have jobs need to step up and do their share of the chores. And if there are children the men need to be front of house in the parenting of them, not leaving it all to the women.

The feminine role can me anything really, in the church as well as in the home. Many years ago as a new Christian I felt I had to bake, sew, knit and keep my home perfect. I tried but was not able to live up to the expectations other Christian women placed on me.

I am a woman and obviously have a 'feminine role' as a wife and mother, as a grandmother. Nobody needs to define it for me. It is my role and I know it well.

With respect, I disagree. Scripture has a lot to say about roles and it has to do with displaying the gospel.

The churches needed to stay firm with the Scriptures, not cater to the culture. Now people think there are a growing number of genders, not just men and women. When we don't define our purpose, the enemy is all to happy to give us counterfeits.

I think Scripture is a guide that gives the best approach and that we should get our ideas about gender from that, not trends in the culture.

Our husbands often don't care about the expectations and pressures other Christian women may want to place on us. If you and your husband are happy, their opinions are secondary. As long as those expectations aren't Scripture, it's fine to ignore them.

There's room for a lot of differences. Every marriage is different and what might be helpful to one man, might not to another.

It's just that now, society has lost it's way and when churches got away from Scriptures like Ephesians 5, Proverbs 31, and Titus 2, we started down a destructive path that allowed different ideologies to push against what's healthy.

I used to work and we split the chores. That's just how it practically had to be done because it was my choice to work at the time. But we argued about it a lot. I think women should be open to working outside the home if needed, but I can attest to things getting a lot easier with arguing.l and things getting done when I left working outside the home and gave the housewife thing a try.

Maybe I should clarify something: by 'roles', I don't mean how a wife should arrange her closet, or whether she cooks every meal from scratch. I think married couples should do what works for them in a lot practical matters and not stress out too much.

By affirming the feminine role, I mean the values and abilities that lead us to be great and loving towards our families, and being confident that those things are precious in Christ.

Yes, my wife and I have our own "division of labor" that is unique to us. But we also recognize what God has created in each of us, and rejoice to fulfill His work of creation in our living according to His design. Maternal and Paternal are different. I'm not maternal, she is not paternal, we don't try to be what the other is.

Much love!

Thank you for the clarification, and of course agree. But Christian men should also have those qualities it isn't just a feminine trait.

I definitely think Christian men should do what's best for their families and not necessarily just chase money to an extreme or check out of home life for any other reason.

What makes the roles different is mainly the call for men to lead and provide vs women to submit and serve. But both men and women should love one another and respect each other.

We can see this in the children. Look at those raised by only one parent, and those raised by both. We need both to grow up properly.

Much love!

I don't want to be a Mom that tells my kids what to do and doesn't do those things herself.

If I want them to cooperate with a good attitude, I need to make sure Im doing that consistently so that they can see it. If I want them to listen, I need to listen. If I want them to not roll their eyes and complain about chores, I need to set that tone too.

I see submission as a short cut to this. I want my children to respect those in legitimate authority. Do I respect my husband? Or do I throw a wrench in things to push my own way? If I do, how will they learn respect in the home.?

I didn't have parental role models (neglectful and abusive mom, absent dad), and it's taken me most of my 63 years to learn what I should have learned as a child. I see modeling right behavior, along with instruction in God's commands to be obedient, are a strong force for a child to learn from! And of course correction at the right time, in the right way.

I fully agree with you, the best way to show we are to respect others is by respecting them ourselves.

I see submission to be the shortest route to many things. Knowing God, being transformed, showing others the truth and love from God. John wrote that our love for others is shown by our obedience to God. Something like that. If I want to be the best I can be for you, that comes by doing what God tells me to do.

Much love!

I have always seen you as someone who takes obeying God seriously. To the point where others can grow from reading the way you post and interact with other people on here. When parents drop the ball, children have to figure things out for themselves and it can take years to overcome that disadvantage.

I want my kids to be on position to surpass me, should they choose wisdom.

May they do so!! May the Lord work powerfully through you on their behalf!
