Forty years of feminist philosophy has brought severe reproof for just about everything the male does. If we listen to the feminists, man is evil, stupid, and unjustly tyrannical. The feminist movement, which began in the early 60's, has played a decisive role in denigrating the family. However, the main cause of family problems today is our self-centeredness.Mothers and fathers need to be shining examples. They must instruct and train their children on how to love their spouses and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, and to be kind and helpful. The word of God is a great resource for learning these important values and skills.God gives women affectionate power. Men are born out of a women's womb. They spend their lives yearning for a woman's acceptance and approval. Man is putty in the hands of the woman he loves. Give him direct communication, respect, appreciation, good food, and good loving'and he will do just about anything you wish, foolish or not. God made women verbal creatures, which can frustrate men with an overwhelming amount of talk. Instead of expecting her husband to be "a girlfriend," the wise wife should choose the proper topic and timing of discussions.Men make terrible mind readers, so be direct. Subtle hints don't work. This doesn't mean that man is insensitive, uncaring, or oblivious.Tell your man whether you want advice, or if you're just letting off steam. God made man to want to be "our rescuer," so understand that you can frustrate him if he can't fix what's bothering you, especially if all you want is someone to listen.Take whatever he says at face value. Women tend to overanalyze men. They are not that complicated.Men need respect and love. God gave us the blueprint for a happy marriage. He commands husbands and wives in the Book of Ephesians: "However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Women need love just as they needs air to breathe. This same verse commands a wife to respect her husband. Why? He needs respect as he needs air to breathe. Treat each other with the dignity they deserve, for we are made in the image of God. Respect means not giving way to a display of one's anger, especially before the children. No emotional outburst is worth damaging a husband's reputation before your little ones.Men long for their wives attention, affection, and affirmation. Respect involves paying attention to what they do. Respect means allowing the other person to be different than you. Both men and women want to be acknowledged and appreciated for the things they do. Showing respect is to keep the home you made together clean and well kept. It's a reflection of your love. Try to keep up with each other's wisdom. Grow in the word of God together, as well as intellectually. Women often make their husbands feel like children by constantly reminding them to get things done. Men want to be admired. They want to be acknowledged for being the breadwinner. One of their greatest pleasures is when they can feel like a hero for taking care of their families. Men and women have a different language of love. Every man and woman wants to be appreciated for who they are and what they do. Keep an" Appreciation Journal" to help remind yourself of the things your mate does that you appreciate. Tell your spouse every day that you love and appreciate him/her. Thank each other for being faithful. Thank God for the love you share with each other. Give thanks for your children. Love your spouse with kindness and respect, and receive all the fantastic perks. When love, respect and appreciation are openly expressed, a happy home is it's own rewards. The American family needs to return to godly principals.Related LinksFeminist Movement Betty Friedan Led Has Its Roots In The Occult, Necromancy, Demonic Spiritualism.http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=562 )Feminism: The next generation?Vindication of the Rights of Women," published in 1792. The movement actually goes back before that to the writings of a number of aristocratic European women. The term appeared first in France in the 1890s, and was adopted in England and the United States. It denoted a particular concern with self-expression and individual self-realization that had not been present in the earlier women's rights tradition.What is "first wave" feminism?http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0430/6a.shtmBible On line Ephesians 5:31http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:33%20&version=31 )1 Corinthians 7http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%207;&version=31;) Proverbs 31http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2031%20%20;&version=31;) Marie is a columnist for RenewAmerica.us , The Conservative Voice, The Daley Times, Life on The Right and The Capitol Hill Coffee House and The Post Chronicle.
