Wow. I googled those words into a search and was amazed at what I found today. Not one listing was about or by a truly Christian housewife. All of them either made fun of Christian housewives,put us down, or told us that we don't really have to submit to our husbands or raise our children to be Godly because that is an outdated notion. I was flabergasted. I have to wonder(I guess because I am paranoid) is this some kind of statement by google. How do they chose what order things come up on their search engine? Or are we really that much of a minority. I find sometimes that even in our churches I myself at least feel outnumbered and outdated but I know that I am doing what God has called me to do. Is it really so archaic to believe in marriage the way God believed it should be? I believe I am happy and I have a happy marriage doing it the way God intended. Is that so amazing?
I was watching Dr Phil(which I usually don't do because it makes me angry) because I was bored and they were doing a show on engagement and wether or not some of these couples should get married. There were four couples. All of which had not waited until marriage to do the marriage act it was obvious. All I kept hearing from all of these couples was me me me me. It was all about them and what the other person could do for them. One woman constantly belittled her soon to be husband in front of everyone. SAD! I felt so sorry for this man. All I could say was NO NO NO none of these people should get married. The only one's I saw with any chance of making it was the young couple who were both 19. They had the best grasp of what marriage really was and were kind to each other and loving. This was my impression I did not watch the entire show. Of course they were being told that they had no chance because they were young. They were, I felt, belittled and made fun of because they wanted to get married at a young age but to me they were the most mature people on the show.
When did marriage become all about what the other person could do for you. That is not what marriage is about. Look around you people. It is not working. I see around me so many unhappy marriages just because 1. the wife will not submit to her husband. 2. The husband will not take his rightful role as provider and protector and spiritual leader. 3. No one is willing to give in the relationship because they only care what the other is giving or not giving to them. ME ME ME. I just want to scream at these people ITS NOT ABOUT YOU!!!
I am sorry if I am ranting but I am so tired of feeling like I am in the minority when maybe the minority has it right and I am tired of being bombarded by all this media talking about how I need more ME time and to do what I need. I can't understand why no one sees what this is doing to marriages and families.
Sorry for getting on my soapbox again.
