I am so glad to hear that my post spurred you and your husband to discuss God's Word in more depth. That passage is a tough one to swallow, I think, until we look at it from the point of view that God made us differently - and that passage simply helps us each, as men and women, to get what we need. Thank you so much for your encouragement to me, as a writer. It means more than you can know. Blessings, dear friend! --r xx Oh, Thank you, Felisol!

Your 101 Marriage counseling was the reason why. Being raised in a Pentecost Church means being familiar with the Bible and all it's seemingly contradictions. Often would the pastor choose which place in the Scripture to emphasis, and equally often would I argue against (being in my early teens.) I had not thought of the verses from the Ephesians for many years, until you wrote about the male crave for respect gen. I had to give you right; men and women are fundamentally different in their basic needs.-From Venus and Mars- is another expression. I guess I could never live with a man I did not respect or to be honest was not cleverer than me in basic skills like cars, computers, machinery, carpentry, walking on roofs, reading maps, and actually also better educated than I am. My hubby has all these virtues and many, many more. And I love him. Even so, I guess this submission issue has not come easily to me. We talked about our needs and you were right, there is a specific want for respect gen in the male DNA. "But you know I respect you and always will," I said. "Just as I love you without so many words," he replied. I was trapped. It just needs to be said and showed in everyday life. Thank you, Renae, for being a sharing thinker. This sure has made a difference in our lives. From yours still working Felisol Dear Renae,
I have been working this last week, working and discussing with my husband. Your 101 Marriage counseling was the reason why.
Being raised in a Pentecost Church means being familiar with the Bible and all it’s seemingly contradictions.

“But you know I respect you and always will,” I said.
“Just as I love you without so many words,” he replied.
I was trapped. It just needs to be said and showed in everyday life.
Thank you, Renae, for being a sharing thinker.
This sure has made a difference in our lives.
