Do you think that dad's are given enough credit or even, men (husbands) I know that they aren't on t.v. but what about in our churches? I was just wondering if you thought it was changing the people in the christian community?
As for my question, on t.v. you see a lot of commercials make the dad look like he doesn't know anything. You see it in cartoons to. Any ways what I was wondering is this starting to happen with in the christian community. This is why I ask. I am not one for gossip because I feel the line is very thin and I'll try not to cross it.
There is this family at our church, the wife while in public seems to be nice but at the same time is very flirty. So much so that it has made women and at least a few guys uncomfortable. There aren't very many younger women in our church so I don't think I would see this happening a lot but was wondering if these situations are staring to arise more often.
As for her treatment to him as a dad, at times it has not been much more than the t.v. ads.
I have only been a christian for about 7 years now and have never had to try and digest something like this. Just wanted to know if there are others out there who have?
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. A fine line between being strong and being over-bearing. I have to constantly check myself and consider my actions. I trully wish I had a woman's gift of understanding Christianity.
Yes, men are looked down upon. I think we have brought it upon ourselves.

People are people regardless of professed beliefs, etc...so yeah you will get those with unhealthy personalities and interpersonal skills. Dads have long been portrayed for the good and the bad in the media. It has long been a joke that Dads/men for one example become whiney babies when getting sick/a cold and need the wife to care for them like a child.
I like waiting on my husband when he's sick. It's just one more way to show him how much I appreciate him. By the way, just heard that the family I spoke of is moving in July, as long as the people buying their house don't change their mind. I just don't know what to do. She has said some hurtful things towards me before and I said something to her and she just laughed itoff. I guess if they move I no longer need to worry about it. I've been praying for her and her family. Please pray for them too.

It is never too late to do the right thing. Of course, the right thing would be to make amends.

I have forgiven her if that is what you mean. It is her choice to talk to me or not. She chooses not to. I guess really what I am trying to say is that it hard to see the hurt done to other people also. I know that we are to forgive even if they don't ask for forgiveness. I see some people struggling because they have been on the recieving end to many times to count. Is it just me or is it sometimes hard to give things like this to God and not take them back?
Okay I am going to take this a bit further. And you can tell me what you think.
I am going to go back to the woman's rights movement. I am only 26 so I could be way off base here, but this is where Ithink, the roles got really messed up. I get that during the war a lot of women were working in the plants making artillery and took it a step further to sports to raise the spirits of the people at home. Then after the men came back there were some who were not content with being housewives. I am not a history buffsoforgive me if I left somethig out or got it in the wrong order.
Anyways, I'm not saying that I don't agree with women having a right to work or to vote, however I feel that they have taken it to far, and by doing so it has cost both men, women, and children dearly. I remeber my grandma talking about how men used to always open a door for a lady, the manwas the bread winner and he was the leader of his family. Obviously not allwere like this and not all women respected their husbands,but in her day it was a lot more rare. Then they moved on to the right to have an abortion because it is their body and no one should be able to tell them what to do. I don't know how many women I have heard say that their child doesn't need a dad that theycan be be both a mother and a father.
I run errands during the week so thaton theweekend my husband can just relax and spend some quality time with us. In my personal experience I have seen all kinds, women who have an attitude when a man opens a door for them, men who get frustrated that anyone from a younger generation won't open a door for them. I can't help but feel that when woman took it to far, the cost was politeness. And this concept has never donned on them.
I know this doesn't pertain directly to religion, but I feel there is a connection because even in churches I seewhat was once something expected of you become a rarity. What do you think?
