God Made Women | Season 2

What is a woman?  This question has come up more than probably necessary.  Or at least been answered in ways…that make you scratch your head.  While I have many opinions on the subject of what makes a biological woman, this isn’t about that.  I am a woman, born and raised.  I have never questioned that fact, but I have wondered about purpose and place.  All I ever wanted was to be a wife and mother.  

I am a #tradwife.  I subscribe to the traditional definition of gender roles in marriage and homemaking.  I am also a Christian.  I believe Ephesians 5:22 is correct and good advice:  Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.  You may ask how a female in 2024 can believe such misogynistic drivel.  Doesn’t this set women back believing poppycock like this?  I believe Ephesians 5:22 because of Ephesians 5:25-28:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.  In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.  He who loves his wife loves himself.

See?  I am just told to submit.  The husbands are given way more direction.  It is pretty specific to say love your wife as Christ loved the church.  I mean, Christ DIED for the church.  That is a lot more responsibility than submission.
