Roles in life....

this is a tricky topic to talk about. many people have a hard time getting their point across or understanding the difference between the man and woman's role according to GOD's word... i believe it is because of the many negative associations we have today with this topic and issues that relate, such as feminist movement and women's rights and the media etc.... I like how this is worded, I hope you understand it like I do, how it is not about being a door mat, but rather a chain of command, ... all of you who are reading this have had a boss in your lives, and I am assuming NONE of you have felt demeaning or like you were less of a person for obeying someone else's instructions.... right....well mostly... and i know you get my point :) that we just have different roles, not who is worth more in this life but the whole, there can't be two rutters attached to the same ship (ie. family )..... that's all:

As a rule: being right, or having the best course of action, is not as important as the peace in the household that ensues from submitting to God’s way of doing things. Many women think that since women are to submit to their husbands, that this means men and women are not equal. The Bible says otherwise:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. -Galatians 3:28

Therefore, it’s not about “equality,” it’s about roles. It is a way to solve disagreements, or avoid them in the first place. God created men and women differently, therefore,
they have different jobs to do in their lifetimes. Women are not the same as men, and when feminists try to obtain “equality,” what they are really doing, is trying to make women into men, by getting women to follow the man’s role, instead of the woman’s role. If the thought of submitting to your husband leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth, then stop to consider what you are making it all mean in your head; how are you interpreting it? Submitting to one’s husband is a God ordained blessing. Wives were created to be their husband’s help meets. Our husbands need us.
