Changing Roles ??????
Times have really changed........... a guys approach to dealing with women is not the same as it used to be. Is it a good or bad thing? Men handle women differently than they did twenty plus years ago? For example, I have heard of instances where women have got down on one knee and proposed to their boyfriend. This is just a little backwards and makes a woman look a little desperate to be doing the asking. I'm a forward thinker and all but what happened to the roles in a relationship. There are just certain boundaries that should be respected. So do you agree or disagree this and give me your honest opinion?

I disagree. If you truely love someone it should not matter who does the asking. That does not make you seem desperate. And how is that disrespect. The problem with forward thinkers is that they place a lot of stock in the traditions of man. These so call unwritten rules. And true love has no boundaries or unwritten rules. As you wpuld say. "It is what it is" LOVE. The only roles in a relationship is for a woman to act like a woman and for a man to be a man. Those are our roles.
ReplyDeleteI look at it from a spiritual standpoint in that the Word of God says in Proverbs 18:22 "The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord." Bearing that scripture in mind, I believe that the MAN should initiate finding the woman and asking her to marry HIM. In doing so, it then becomes HIS responsibility to guide that marriage and become the priest of his home. Anything that has two (2) heads is a freak...therefore the man needs to be the head and should take the lead for his home, but give his wife preference in the home because she is his apple of his eye, the syrup on his pancakes, the butter on his bread...you get my point? She completes the relationship. There is nothing worse than a spineless man who cannot make decisions for those God has entrusted to him. I consider myself an independent woman, but I do want a man who will step up to the place, while reverencing me as his wife and sharing in making the decisions for the home. Is that love? Yes!! For the Word of God also says, "husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church" and "wives submit yourself unto your husband". God intended a definite order in the home!! Is that changing roles? No, that is MAN taking his rightful, God-given place in the home and in a woman's life and she responding to him as God commanded her to do - submit. Don't get me wrong...submit does not mean subservient, it means her esteeming her husband and he loving her. Is this old school? Hmmmm
