How does our Gender influence our family experiences? How does our family influence our gender experiences?
These are some questions to think about. Men and Women are the same right? We should be treated the same and thought the same way. Heck! We might as well be built the same right? Well the fact that we aren't built the same means that we can't be exactly the same in every way. Here are some reasons why:
Women
More expressive
Immediate thinking
Men
Provide for their families
Long-term thinking
The world tells women that they need to be treated just like men. They need to get a degree in college, then get a job, and then do whatever you want to feel successful. But the fact is us women are not just like men. We were obviously created differently for a reason. Now, I'm not saying that women can't be successful. I'm just saying that the world should not force ideas about things onto anyone.
We were all send to this earth with a role and a divine purpose to help us succeed here on this earth, and no one else can do that job as well as us. In other words, No one can do what I need to do as perfectly as me. They can try and they can get close to perfection, but they will never reach perfection to something that I have been called to do on this earth.
Our gender roles should not be intermingled in the way the world wants it to be, but they should be intermingled in a way to reach a common goal. The things my husband is talented are my weakness. Now I can learn them, but I'm not good at building a computer or things like that, but because he has taught be a few things I feel that some of my weaker talents have now become strengths.
I can show an example on the other side as well. When it comes to children and babies my husband often says, "Why are you crying? Falling down wasn't that bad!" Which is a normal male response, but I would say something to the extent of, "Oh baby! Are you okay?" And then try to distract them with another toy of some sort to get them to stop crying. My husbands response seems a little cold, but to him he thinks that he is being compassionate enough. Men can't comprehend compassion is the way women can. They can try, but are not successful every time a child needs that comfort, hence why marriage is such an important part of completing each other.
In Matthew chapter 5 verse 48 is reads, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." If you study this scripture you will discover that the word perfect in this verse means to complete. So my question to you is: How can we become complete? And can we do it by ourselves?
