We’ve been fooled.
Women have been bullied and brainwashed into believing that we need to do more. Do more? We have the ability (86% of women will!) to create human beings with their own bodies. I’d say we have done it all. Check that box, finished. If we do not do a single other thing in this lifetime, we have miraculously condensed years and years of the impossible physical and mental labor of bringing an entire human into the world and caring for it. We pour out of ourselves into this tiny person. There is no other obligation or expectation needed. The rest of our lives should be peace and joy. Shut it down. Men who come at women asking what they bring to the table? What does HE bring to the table because I assure you it pales in comparison to anything she is capable of. They have missed the point so severely. Poor souls.
Blessed are the men who proudly take their place at a powerful woman’s side to praise her and care for her, provide for her as an equal yet different partner in this life. Not because he contributed anything to ease the incredible amount of labor she has endured but because she saw him fit to be chosen as a strong and capable man to provide the life that she and her children are deserving of. Together they carry out the fulfillment of populating the earth and bringing up decent new people who will in turn leave the world better than when they first entered it.
Women were uniquely gifted by God himself the divine ability to create a person, cell by cell- the truest labor of love and the most physically taxing work of all. What an honor that He chose us! Pregnancy is a day by day giving and dying to self. A mother loses her bone, blood, flesh, nutrients, energy, and sacrifices her body in every way to create this miracle that she alone was bestowed the capability to do. We as women were given by God the same authority that he has, to create human life. Pieces of Him live in us. We are chosen. Men will never be able to do this no matter what happens. We are designed in God’s image. Creators. He is the Masterful Creator but He has given us authority to create under him. We were NEVER meant to be looked at as inferior to men nor were we expected to do more. We praise him with our calling and all else is joy after this. We were not made to worry and stress and work to provide our necessities. That is the husband’s job to deal with. He is here to provide for YOU, the life-giver. Encourage him in this. Most importantly, choose a man who recognizes your value and sees it as an honor to serve you knowing that only by God’s grace, he is able to do life with you. A man who finds a wife finds a good thing- but if he doesn’t see that you alone are enough, don’t look twice. If it was not interwoven into his soul to care for you as his bride, he is not for you.
Whether you are expecting, not planning to have children or have already given birth you have the naturing spirit and ability to care for others. It’s instinctual. You have value beyond external beauty and you have purpose and strength greater than anything you have ever imagined.
