"Being in a relationship is not easy, more than half of all first marriages fail in this country. That statistic doesn't improve if you spend most of your time reading your favorite website and not tending to the needs of your family."
A coworker & I were discussing the alarming amount of people around us who are divorced. It's really crazy.
We bagan betting which state would have the highest divorce rate... probably New York or California I had thought. We decided to look up the annual divorce rates by state [statemaster.com] and were shocked to see that some states in the bible belt [wikipedia.org] states are relatively high. One of our most cherished institutions indeed!
People get married too soon. Divorce is better then being in a miserable relationship all your life bacause of some social stigma. Not so say people should try to make it work, but that doesn't mean it will. Morals is a religious word, so if my ebbing morals you mean "Failure for a women to be the subservant bitch the bible says she's supposed to be" then yeah, ebbing morals. Fortunately it's not from ebbing ethics.
I would like to add that the bible does not demand that a woman be subservient to her husband. It does prescribe that she be subordinate, in that both partners have equal worth but the husband must accept responsibility for the marriage. The husband must respect his wife's emotions and intelligence, and make decisions while taking consideration of her feelings and input. Basically, he is what the perfect manager would be.
To believers, this is akin to how the Son answers to the Father; but because they
You might want o look a little closer at the bible.
"encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:4-5 Ephesians 5:22-24 " 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. "
Cor I 11
3Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man"
Cor I 11 "7A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man"
Women should treat there husbands as there husband whould treat Christ I.E. Worship them.
The bible is filled with examples telling women that the are beneath men.
Being "subject" is not the same as being "subservient," as I have said.
Also, you took both 1 Cor passages out of context. They are referring to the practice of covering (or not covering) one's head while in fellowship or prayer.
Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors h
