Those who don't have a model of healthy male-female relationships (and general male or female behavior) don't really know what it's supposed to look like.Anna Mussmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631139113615066986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196316261585940971.post-21240999347322753582015-05-20T17:59:00.831-07:002015-05-20T17:59:00.831-07:00Definitely.

I sure see how there is an age when children start identifying very strong male and female, and I noticed myself, that when I meet someone I'm not sure of(male or female), it is very disconcerting. It gives us structure and helps us sort life out to know if we are dealing with a male or female. My brother made an interesting observation the other day. He said,"God's laws of morality are as true as the laws of physics or gravity. He created them in order, and when man tries to bend them, it purely won't bring good results, the same as trying to bend the laws of gravity. It just won't happen." Trying to bend the laws of God when he created people either one gender or another will only bring sorrow and confusion. Let's try to figure out why these people are not proud to be who they were created, and I can say just in my own opinion that the confusion is only going to increase with the disfunctional homes and lack of stability.

I agree with the points on raising our children to keep in mind their potential future families when choosing career paths, though I am thankful for the men who choose to serve as pastors or military despite the toll it may take on their wives and children. They may struggle financially or not be home as much as if they had other careers, and it is good they go into those vocations knowing the vocational conflicts they may have down the road. I see my husband struggle to balance service to his country with service to his family, remembering the two aren't mutually exclusive, but very much intertwined :)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663415483489857539noreply@blogger.com
