In this day and age, feminism is pretty huge. Women want to rule over men and be independent. "Who needs a man?" Very popular. And I mean hey, I get it. I'll share my story. My boyfriend and I officially met in 5th grade at school. He was at that young, chubby, glasses wearing nerdy stage and I was beginning the awkward one myself. We never paid much attention to each other. He loved legos and I loved my schoolwork. The years went by and we became best friends our ninth grade year. We were literally inseparable. He has always been my person. We went through a rough patch and stopped talking completely but came back together senior year and we've been inseparable again ever since. There's the backstory to catch y'all up to speed.
He has always done anything and everything for me. Never stopped. If I want something, he will bend over backward busting his butt to make sure I have it, guaranteed. My needs are always met and I'm so well taken care of. He's the perfect listener. I could go on and on about the most boring irrelevant subject in the world and he loves it just because he loves to hear me talk. Keeper. He gives great advice, even if it's not what I want to hear. Not only does he listen, he comments at the end. I don't know how he always knows what to say. There are a million more things I could list. He may not be perfect, but I know for a fact he's perfect for me. And it's sure that no one knows me like he does. That's the greatest part about dating your best friend, they know you, how to handle you, and why they love you. It's important that I explain how good he is to me because I'm here to tell you how bad I am to him.
I struggle so much with independence. I don't like to be told what to do and I certainly don't like to listen. I lash out and yell and hit and fight when I don't like something my boyfriend does or says. I'm very bad to him. I talk down to him nonstop. It stems from insecurities I have, how strong willed I am, and a bad, past relationship. It's hard for me to communicate feelings and I expect him to be able to interpret them anyway. I'm very unfair. I catch myself acting this way and apologize but unconsciously do it again. It's something I have to work on daily and pray about. I have to learn to be submissive and let him be the man in our relationship. It doesn't mean he gets to push me around. It means I will be there for him. Women need to stop getting offended when their men ask them for things. It is your job to care for him. They are good to us. My boyfriend is so good to me. I need to learn my place is next to him, not over him. Ladies, make the man a sandwich. Love that he needs you. That is plenty empowerment for me.
God made Eve for Adam. The Bible says, "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him" Genesis 2:18. Woman was made to help the man who should always be the head of the household. I know that doesn't sit well with women today. They want to be not only equal with men, but above them. Ladies, pitch your fits all you want, but that is not biblical. Pride runs rampant, though. The world has been influencing these generations. The Word is becoming old-fashioned. Here's what bothers me most. It's not about belittling women.
A woman was made for the man. So that he would have a companion, a helper. Modern day women cannot stand the thought. They get offended at the fact they were created to assist because they don't comprehend that it doesn't mean they're a servant. No one ever said it means you are a doormat. It means that you play a very important and necessary role in your man's life. You are there to support him, encourage him, love him, and make him feel like the man. He needs you. I don't see how anyone thinks that belittles them. Lift your man up. He will love you more than ever.v
