That's Biblical. It's the man's job to take care of his wife. It's not her job to take care of him. Women aren't designed to take on the load. Women get frustrated and stressed when she feels she has to take on the load. I agree with you all the way. In a marriage a woman has the option if she wants to work or not. I know this sounds crazy but if she doesn't want to work, then the joker she's with needs to do what he's gotta do to make ends meet. Now, of course if she does want to work then that's always a blessing, but she doesn't have to. That's all I've ever seen my dad do, was lead the family. Sons are going to do what they see their fathers do. I was raised to lead. The problem is finding a woman who wants to be led. Today's women say "I can take care of myself. I don't need a man to take care of me." That's part of the problem. Any man that lets his woman lead him, in my book is one sorry poor excuse for a man.

The Bible says wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands. It also says submit yourselves to one another. That doesn't mean for the man to submit to her lead, it means he is to submit to her needs, and she will submit to his lead.

Good post and as a women I agree, provided you understand that this biblical principal places a requirement on the man...as long as you meet that requirement we are good to go!

Exactly. It's not easy. Some men think it's easy but it's not. Hint, we're XY a woman is XX. This is crazy but it's true. In a marriage/relationship that man has to do his best to understand his wife/woman. He has both chromosomes. Male and female. She has female only. I'm being a hypocrite because I still don't understand women, but I'm, working at it. That's why it's a man's job to submit himself to her needs not to her lead.

God never gave direction to Eve. He gave it to Adam. What happened when Eve ate of the tree? Nothing. Remember, they still didn't realize they were naked until Adam ate it. That's when they both became ashamed. God asked Adam, not Eve why he was hiding. He gave Adam the dominion. A lot of people think it was Eve's fault. Wrong. It was Adam's fault. It's because of Adam that we live in sin. The same thing goes today. If the man isn't leading and taking care of his wife financially and spiritually then he's the Adam. When things go wrong, it's his fault, of course unless he just has a jacked up woman who doesn't love or respect herself. Men, love your wives like Jesus loved the Church and died for it. That's a lot, but God expects nothing less. Just my 2 cents.
