Do you believe God really intended for women to carry attache cases and drive BMWs to work? Are they fulfilling the mission God designed them for by doing this?

what do you think?

I believe the Creator gave women the ability to make their own decisions and the wisdom and intelligence to follow their own path in life. Their choices are there own, from what they believe to what they do as are a mans. I see no difference between man and woman except for the roles they play in propagating the human race. One is no more important than the other and they must both work together to advance life on this planet. Just my humble opinion.

People might not agree with this opinion. I might get a lot of disagreement. My personally feeling that many women now a days pass the marriage, husband and children just to foward their career. That is fine and everybody has that choice. When a family gets involved though I do believe that at least one parent should be home with the child. The family of both parents working and not really raising children is causing many problems in children. I know that is not exactly the question you asked greasemonkey, but I think that is what you were trying to get at. Am I right?

Wish mine did then I would not have to ( work, still drive the old chev

But knowing that I will get alot of heat, women and men are made different, different size over all, thier organs are not the same size, there are differnt hormones and I understand even brain functions differ.

So God made them different than men, not saying they can't do anything, but saying we are different. Men and women are made to work as a team as husband and wife, where the strenghts of one works with the weakness of the other, and the opposite traits for the other.

While of course though out history various women worked, and esp those that did not work out of the home.

And I will agree that when there are small children, it is so very important for one of the family to be at home, or at least have a way for the child to be with a parent at thier place of work, ( small business at times)
This sounds offensive to many in todays society because everyone beleives they have some special right ( one of the faults of a democratic society) and that thier own right is more important than an overal family or social or society need.

Fr_Chuck,

I would have to agree with you. Yes, in todays society. Anybody with those views probably would feel the heat. There are defiantly differences and yes women and man are made differently. God does have purposes for each.

I tend to agree with a number of you. Today's woman is, more than ever, accomodating culture and the cost to the family and society is huge. Family problems are getting worse, rather than better. I feel if women would study the Bible, understand the role God intended for them to perform, read about the Bible's truly Godly women, such as Sarah, Naomi, and Ruth, among others, they would realize that the path many of them are choosing is not good. The Bible is repleat with great role models for women. God will review their lives in light of the role He intended for them to perform.

If only it were that simple. But the men have accomodated the culture as well so if the women were to change, don't the men then have to change correspondingly? And the economy too, since it would lose a good portion of the work force? And probably our foreign policies too since we'll be affecting foreign markets too? We are all in this together and I don't think its really that simply. Especially since there are other beliefs too, ones that are not bible based at all ... its a small world now so what of those women? A good idea means it needs to be pratical to implement it too and this one doesn't hit me as do-able.

Val, I got the spread the love message, but I totally agree with you here. Let's look at the economy.... I would have loved to stay home with the kids, but the economy makes it so that I had to work.

As for staying home with the kids. I would have loved that also, but coming from a family of early elementary teachers, 4 teachers below 5th grade level, they all say that the children who go to preschool are more socialized and ready for the school enviornment. Oops that was another thread.

Back to the role of women, I think here in the US, we can thank Gloria Steinem for a lot that has happened with society today.

It begins one family at a time! Personally, I have a hard time imagining Boaz allowing Ruth to be an F-15 fighter pilot, family lawyer, or CEO. Yes, many husbands have abdicated their role as spiritual leader of the household and have failed to treat their wives with love and respect. It's time for men and women to assume their proper roles and to start anew.
