I am in no way trying to start an arguement with anyone. I was just a little bothered by one of your remarks. "IF you honestly believe everything you read, for instance that woman was actually made from Adam's rib, then maybe you don't have a problem being told what to do by your man." I do firmly believe this because it is in the BIBLE. And I wholeheartedly believe the bible. With that said, I am in no way a doormat to my husband. I choose to do all the laundry and cook all the meals but that is because I stay home with our kids. It's the least I can do for him. But when he gets home if I haven't felt well or had a rough day and dinner isn't made there is definitely no fights. He is more than willing to come home and make dinner or at least help with making dinner. He understands that just because I am a "Stay at home MOM" doesn't mean I sit around all day and watch soaps or the DR Phil show. I actually record the show and watch it later in the night while I am in bed. And just another note...Woman actually means.."from man" so yes dear you were made from man. God created Eve WITH Adam's rib. If you weren't made from man what were you made from?? Just a question. I am happy that you are married to a caring individual and that he is willing to help. But just because I believe what you don't doesn't mean that My husband isn't willing to help. He is more than willing. We share all the household cleaning equally. Yes during the week I keep the house neat and clutter free, but come the weekend we are BOTH cleaning the house. I wish you the best of luck in your marriage and GOD BLESS
This post absolutely terrifies me.
The U.S. is certainly far behind other developed nations that know about evolution and aren't religious fanatics who believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally. You're insane if you truly believe that there really was an Adam and Eve and that she came from his rib. You're no less ignorant than some forest native who believes in rain gods & thinks sacrifices will end droughts.
I do believe that if a woman stays at home she makes a better mother. I think if you're simply a wife, that shouldn't be the reason why you stay at home while your husband works. You should be doing something with your time. But if you're a mother, it is certainly better if you stay home with your kids. It is a very difficult job as it is, and mothers who work just do not put as much as they need to into their kids. I think the importance of the relationship between mother and child is more important with regard to a wife staying home than the relationship between the wife & husband. If it was just a wife & husband, it would be perfectly reasonable in this day and age for the wife to work, because she doesn't have the burdensome chores that women had back in the day in order to keep the house clean, the firewood gathered, the gardens hoed, etc. Modern convenience allows women the free time to work outside the home, BUT when there are children in the picture, I think a mother should be there for her kids as much as possible & when women try to be superwomen, they end up being mediocre at both, or neglecting one thing to do better at the other.
And by the way, evolution explains all of this, if any of you who don't "believe in" it actually would bother to go educate yourselves beyond the "humans came from monkeys" thing that you're all so offended by. Human behavior can be explained very thoroughly through evolution, animal behavior, etc. Oh yeah, and we're all animals too. Even your bible-thumping can be explained by animal behavior and evolutionary science. We haven't moved as far beyond the rest of the animal kingdom as many ignorant religious fanatics would like to think.
(Original Airdate: 10/10/05) What makes a good wife? Is it cooking, cleaning, raising the kids and having great sex? Dr. Phil says too few couples understand what it means to be a "Mrs." His first guest, Grant, says his wife, Kelly, is in desperate need of "wife lessons" when it comes to her cooking, cleaning and the way she dresses. Kelly says trying to be the perfect wife while raising three kids is overwhelming, and she fears she'll never be good enough. See what happens when she puts her hubby to the "wife test." Will he be able to do it all? Then, Diana says a good wife must serve her man instead of trying to balance a career and a family. Plus, a woman who thinks "wife" is a four-letter word!
