Lately, I've been re-reading a book by a Christian author named Lori Wick. In the book, a woman from a different country (Kashien) comes to visit her brother, Jeff, in Hawaii. Jeff is taken away suddenly on business for three months and she is left with a Christian family he is great friends with. I'm not sure why but I love this book. It's one of my favorites and I've read it at least five times. I guess part of it is how Godly the lead character Lily is. She defers to God in everything. I also love it because of the way she submits to males (showing respect) and how she honors the men in her life (her father, her brother and later on, her husband.)
I don't live in a world where women are that way. Every day, my roommate is all "males are inferior, women are better, any woman who would submit to a man is sick etc." I don't personally believe that way. God made women to complement men and men to complement women. We were made to help one another and be companions for one another and as females, to honor and respect our husbands by letting him be the head of the household. This is what God commands.
Eph. 5:23-32
For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of his body, the church; he gave his life to be her Savior. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything.
In our world today, why is this considered wrong? Why do women try to take the control and screw everything up? It's hard enough without us messing with the roles God gave us.
