Author	Thread: Are the roles reversing?
Admin	Are the roles reversing? Posted : 5 Dec, 2009 08:45 AM I very recently started a thread in the "Ask a Guy" section titled Should a woman approach a man. As expected i received the traditional answer. After reading the replies, and responding to them i decided to google this question. What i found is that the traditional answer was given less (by far) then the 'modern' view of a man initiating the chase. IMO, the man should be the one to verbally initiates a romantic relationship, but as far as friendship is concerned i believe it is a free for all. In reading through some of the discussions, i found it somewhat disturbing to that women display the qualities that (imo) makes a man! Men are supposed to be hunters, but women are out there with spares and clubs, hitting men over the head and dragging them back to the cave! (maybe a bit of an exaggeration) The education we receive, as it relates to social interactions, romantic etc from the social climate in which we live (feminism esp.) is radically shaping our romantic realities. Thus my question is; Should Christians conform to new social standards? Post Reply

For me personally, I don't want someone who is so timid that they can't even work up the courage to say "hi" to a stranger. I also love it when a woman has her life in order, whether it be degrees in school, or having a job that lets them do the things they want. I for one think too many people are here looking for someone to make them feel "complete." I'd rather marry a woman that doesn't need me in her life at all, because I'll know she WANTS me there, and I'm the same way. I'm very happy with my life. I do think a girlfriend or wife would be nice, but if not, oh well. Women are to be respected and valued. On my parent's wedding day, my mother did NOT promise to obey my father, because she didn't want her actions to be pre-determined by a vow she took. They are still happily married, and will soon celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary. They also have an incredible relationship, and to this day, my mother does not feel she has ever "disobeyed" my father. I for one need a strong woman because, well, I'm not perfect, and I'm not always doing things God's way, and if my partner can "check" me on that, then I'm happy, because it's her way of keeping me in line with God's plan.

Posted : 5 Mar, 2010 12:07 PM hi old-fashioned guy...i got your point, but isn't also very limiting for a woman to just stay at home? we are all created in God's image with different abilities and he also mandated us to be stewards of those abilities. there are marriages that did not work even if the woman stayed at home. i also knew of men who stayed at home and the woman is the one working, but they have such a strong relationship. i don't see getting a higher degree or pusuing higher learning or getting empowered as the issue here. i see the issue as more of the priority. if we know God's design for us and we do not just limit ourselves to roles, then we will be able to get into that "partnership" called marriage, work it out and live it to glorify the Lord.
