PositiveMindSet...
I agree...I don't totally accept the head of the household concept.
As LivinitLovinit stated, wouldn't the mood of the woman affect the man/family? Shouldn't there be a balance or counter balance in the relationship/family between the woman and man?
PositiveMindset said:In a sense I disagree with your belief of the man being the head of the household.
Many parts of the bible don't speak literally, but figuratively.
Many times, when a man comes home & he's in a negative mood, that negativity goes 2 the rest of the household, such as if U have a cold or flu, the rest of your body feels the effects, but it all starts in the head.
If that man comes home in a jovial mood & his mate is upset, his positive energy will be engulfed by his mate, thereby transforming the negative energy that was in the household before he arrived into positive energy.
The Almighty also said that the woman is the man's helpmate, meaning exactly that.
She helps him in all aspects of life, it is man who has said the woman should stay behind the man in a relationship, because that is what some men believe, I am not one of them.
If a woman backs her man regardless of her own wants & needs, that relationship is doomed, due 2 her unsatisfaction, which will reflect on the children & their relationships with people.
Men are dominant over the women 4 the simple fact that they are the protectors of the household, which goes back 2 the head idea. The head protects the body by the thoughts it contrives in order 4 the body 2 function correctly. Women have arrived at the misconception that the amount of money one makes decides who is dominant in a relationship, but in all reality, dominance is determined by the power one has & the ability 2 utilize that power effectively.
Example: Lionesses hunt 4 the pride, but the Male lions protect that pride from invaders, thereby being the head of the pride (household).
