Our bodies are different, our minds are different, everything about us is different, why would we think our roles would be the same?<br /><br />Each gender has been called to it's own purpose, just as each individual has.Jay Dee - Sex Within Marriagehttp://sexwithinmarriage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613335924468202284.post-570695200442036972012-11-28T18:53:06.498-05:002012-11-28T18:53:06.498-05:00This is powerful and well-written. The notion of ...This is powerful and well-written. The notion of equality continues to be a huge matter of challenge . I first learned the word in kindergarten, as in 2 plus 2 equals 4. Then in progressed in aldebra, to get both sides "equal" to each other--which means mathematical sameness or substitution. <br /><br />The notion does not apply to marriage or to humans in general--no two humans are the same or equal, physically, mentally, emotionally, or in any other way EXCEPT for value in the sight of God. <br /><br />The notion is completely absent from any scriptural discussion of marriage or humanity--except for when God says He is "No respecter of Persons." Or in other words, He values us ALL as His Children.<br /><br />Getting rid of this notion in our society is a huge internal challenge, but it's worthwhile. <br /><br />I do think God's justice suggests that he will judge us fairly--so fairness in itself isn't a bad goal. But in marriage, trying to determine what is fair, as in "doing my fair share," is absolutely unhelpful.Strong Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397861817336193206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613335924468202284.post-86107127348262519452012-11-28T16:18:16.768-05:002012-11-28T16:18:16.768-05:00Thanks, Luke, for the FB post!Thanks, Luke, for the FB post!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382135979097709418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613335924468202284.post-72952215086972277712012-11-28T15:21:29.164-05:002012-11-28T15:21:29.164-05:00Wow.
