Admin	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 28 Jul, 2013 07:23 PM In a world we live in, where sex is highly in work... what do women think about sacrificing, the tight wear for something more modest... wht's the oppostion that comes from a womens perspective for it?... and why resist if it's something that would promote a healthier ienviroment and be more pleasing to the Lord?....something that came to my mind with it before... is when Jesus sad whoever looks at a women to lust after her has committed adultery in his heart... the thing about, how woman can dress can play a part in it.... what's your thought about it? and if you wouldn't switch because of that ...would you switch because your husband in te future wanted you to?

sisygirl View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 28 Jul, 2013 11:55 PM That's a very fair question coming from a guy. I love it when talking about our day to day challenges & experiences. That's a little sensitive subject though, i've observed that it often turns to an argument whenever discussed. I personally think it begins with an individual before one should even be told or ordered by the husband to wear in a more modesty manner. We all know that looks play a very big part when coming to self image. For others to take you seriously, it starts with with you reflecting that about your self & the dress code plays a big part. Its all about self worth & self respect. Its unfortunate that either way affects guys out there. Being a woman too, I sometimes get disturbed about leggings. I feel they just not onn for my liking.

Lukia^ View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 29 Jul, 2013 01:11 AM I believe christians should be modestly dressed always with clothes that are not too revealing. Changing coz of the husband depends on what the husband asks. e.g he may ask me to put on trousers or mini skirts and i don't like them or maybe i believe they aren't right,in that case i won't change. But if my dressing hasn't been modest,which i already know,and he feels i should change the way i dress,then i will. When two people enter into a relationship,they should expect changes from any corner. If a change is for better then the lady should submit. Post Reply
ChristianArtsy View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 29 Jul, 2013 12:05 PM No changes to dress after marriage, not an issue for me. Taking vows with plans to change a person makes the vows a lie. A fashion issue should be discussed before you make such a serious commitment. Certain dress can promote or allure from both sexes, and should be shared if wanted only in marriage, But you have to admit, men lust in just about any scenario. Its pretty common for women to say they were picked up when they were looking their absolute worst. Hair not combed, morning breath, wore out warmup, etc. Sometimes I think men put more of the blame on women than warranted. (GEN 3:6) says Adam was there with Eve and the apple. He was the leader, he could have said no. God addressed him, HE was the leader, THEY were busted, he blamed his wife. Disagree if you will, he could have stopped her or at least took part of the blame. God looks at me differently from the way man would judge me, He looks at my heart, 1 Sam 16:7 so if I wear a skirt down to my ankles or above the knee, I am no less holy. I won't dress like a hooker, but then again I won't dress like my greatgrandmother either, because that�s not me. Be honest, a man can dial a wrong number and hear a voice that is enticing while the woman just simply answered the phone, should she make a correction to her voice because it may cause a man to lust? Even if all women dressed in the traditional muslim attire, we�d still get lust blame. Post Reply

View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 29 Jul, 2013 05:39 PM Yea I agree it should be talked about before marriage...and men more than likely will lust at somethin regardless how there dressed...but it's still a dfferent reaction that it causes when women dress a certain was...that's where the prolem is at least at what I'm talkin bout...it provides an occassion for sexual thoughts to go on that wouldnt be...or in a higher degree then it would, vereses someone that was dressed more modest...

teach_ib View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 29 Jul, 2013 07:34 PM As a Christian, I should dress modestly as the Bible instructs. I have attended churches that taught that women should not wear pants and when I was on the staff of the school, I followed that rule even when on vacation...out of man's sight, but not out of God's sight. When I left that church, I went back to wearing pants as I do not believe it is wrong from my study of the Bible. I still wear dresses/skirts to church services and most activities as that is the accepted attire for the church I prefer to attend. That is the way I was taught...and I believe we should look our best. I choose not to wear dresses for most other activities....there are some tasks I could not comfortably or modestly do in a dress/skirt. I have seen many women in skirts/dresses that would cause a man to lust more than the jeans/shorts I wear. If a potential mate asked me to only wear dresses, I would consider it after much prayer and discussion... Post Reply
Peeches39 View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 30 Jul, 2013 01:29 AM This topic is very subjective i can say because i have seen women in trousers looking more modest than those wearing skirts or dresses (u Know those kinds). It all comes down to What you want to portray when you wear something. Post Reply

View Profile History	Dressing in dresses instead of jeans and leggings Posted : 30 Jul, 2013 05:06 AM We have to ask our selves this question of our selves in relationship to those around us. Am I going to be a leader or a follower? I think the issue of modesty or not is falling by the way side and a new issue is emerging even more troubling. When I look at an individual and have difficulty decerning if they are male or female. I am seeing it more and more how about you? Culture would like to dictate to us how we are to live our lives and what we are to look like, The lie that their are no significant differences in genders is a big one. You see the confusion in families is not knowing our significant roles we play as man and woman. This lie has crept into the church and has perverted the body of Christ. It is seen in families who clain Christ all about. We are people of truth and our standard is truth and love. Post Reply
