There is an interesting Fox news article that the liberal agenda is trying to get people to forget about as it was discussed a long time ago in news and society: Drafting women in the military: The next battle in far left's crusade for 'sameness'

Men don't really understand women and women don't really understand men. We are made in the image of God similarly, but have differences that are unique to our genders. It is important not to attempt to think you understand each other to some degree, but also in communication attempt to understand needs the other might have.

A caring and loving spouse will support each other and help each other thru the problems and solutions in life. They will experience the sorrows and happiness together. Hopefully they are cultivating happy experiences for each other to have.

Traditional Christians roles of men and women are different. The man typically works in the field and secures items for the family to survive. He is a care taker of the family. And the woman traditionally takes care of the children as she might be more feminine than masculine and have better motherly nurturing skills and abilities with children. The man and woman both imprint of the children during their childhood development into adulthood. Each contributing important teachings for the raising of the children.

Some married couples are in capable of having children. Some adopt others do not. And there are also others that are wanting a different experience from life than having children and some of those wait until later to have that experience. There are women in the military and want to help protect people and that is a noble cause.

Being a spouse should be looked at as an important spiritual and religious commitment. And the spouses should honor each other with fidelity. Jesus the Christ had that discussion with me spiritually when I had got married. He can join man and woman together and can also separate them during infidelity times if we desire separation from a spouse who is cheating with other people inappropriately.

There are many blessings to being married which should yield much happiness.

Being a parent is also an important commitment. And perhaps that could be discussed here by the members.

I would like to say as a final statement that being a parent can be a very wonderful experience with much love and joy and peace, among the other fruits of the Holy Spirit God as to offer: See

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [a]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

If contention arises in marriage. It could be from various reasons. And one condition of contention can be alleviated with date nights and outside the house activities. It is important to engage in family time and friend time alone and together with the spouse. Sometimes a little away time is needed when we spend too much time together depending on what type of relationship people have with their spouses. Some people may enjoy lots of time together while others may need healthy activities outside the home.

God showed me what a marriage should be like through dance. I have shared it before but if anybody is interested I will share it again.

This is so true.
My parents have been married for I think 63 years now.
They used to think that they had to do everything together and they were less happy.
Then my dad started escaping to the Home Depot and getting involved with woodworking projects and he became less cranky.
And then my mother stopped dragging him to movies that he hated and just went to see them by herself and they both became less cranky and happier.
Now she has her girlfriends and he has his guy buddies and they do plenty of things separately but every night they meet again in the same house and have dinner and watch TV together and then go to bed together and then wake up together.

Men don't really understand women and women don't really understand men.

Yes but women understand women and they hate each other. It's funny because it's true.

I thought that was a good movie with Mel Gibson and...Helen Hunt I think. WHat women want.
