Throne? Hahahahaha! And yet when MEN set up THEIR throne, they felt entitled to it!
That's between you and God how He set up the order in life.
What about if SHE works all day...and makes more money than HE does? Think THAT woman expects to be greeted at the door, by a husband who primped himself into sexiness, along with a newspaper and a martini, guiding her into HER chair while proclaiming, "You just relax honey, dinner will be ready shortly"????
I know these people. They've been good friends of mine in Colorado for many years. His wife works full time and he stays at home full time. He did have a good job and made good maney at at a Tree Service, cutting trees. He worked the same place for many years until the owner died and the widow shut it down. My friend is illeiterate, he can't read or write. But he can cut trees! He tried to get a job and he couldn't fill out the applications so he didnt get a job and stayed home with the kids, and from what I understand, it worked out very well for them. He cooks, he cleans, she pays the bills. It works for them with mutual respect (I think, lol).
You think that once married women entered the workforce that they expected to be catered to, by their husbands after a long day? Think my ex-husband catered to ME, after I worked a 50-60 hour week, making TWICE what HE made?
Where's MY "pipe and slippers" treatment?
But guess what...I never expected THAT kind of catering. I'd come home after a 10 hour day, groceries dangling from my arms, while he sat on the couch....
Maybe you shoulda picked a better guy? Just sayin'...what was your job that you made twice as much as him? What was his job? Did he work at McDonalds? Then you making twice as much isnt saying much, lol! If he was a computer programmer or doctor you might have something.
Pipe & slippers? Nah, just get me a beer and a sandwich.
Sitting on the couch? All day or after he got off work?
No, I meant that they BOTH agree with.
These days BOTH men and women work. Is it FAIR that they BOTH put in a hard day, and once home, SHE is expected to cook, clean and take care of the kids?
I was like that when I was married and working. I figured if I work every day and don't cheat on her then I would be a good husband. But when I get home, I've done my part for the day. She took care of the house and dinner and all that stuff, and I went to work today and made some money to provide.
It wasn't until after she left that I figured out that, I really wasn't being fair with my wife. She stayed home all day and watched the kids and cooked and cleaned and did the laundry and all that. All day she was working while I am at work working. Then here I come, I'm off work now! Kick off my boots & socks and settle into a chair or the couch.
Did she get off of work when I did? No. I came in messing up the clean house that she spent all day cleaning, and now she she has to wit on me and pick up after me, and cook dinner because it's dinner time! And she never skipped a beat. And never complained even the slightest bit in the ways that you talk. She never asked me to do do house work or cook. She wanted it done her way and so she didnt mind doing it. Then after dinner she would clean up the kitchen again so it would be clean for morning. But thinking back in retrospect, that little girl mostly worked up until bedtime many nights.
She never complained about me or the kids making messes (within reason, lol!) She could complain, but not about that stuff. I do think I should have helped her more at night after work. Man she did a lot of work! I don't keep house as good as she did!
If I had it to do over again, I would help her more. I'm wiser now. Those girls work hard! Working is the modern way to get enough money to provide for ones family. The goal is the Marriage and the kids, Family! So money and working is merely a means to an end. The day doesn't end after I get off work! It begins, because now I have did what I needed to do today to support us, but now I am home with my Family. So let the Marriage begin! There's the kids right there already, lol. So if the circumstances were that the woman worked and the man did not, heck yes he should meet her at the door with a clean house and supper already on the table! Why not? The Family needs to eat, even if she paid for it.
But men arent like that nowadays to their women. They have their priorities mixed up. life isnt about making money, it's about relationships and a dry run for our life that we were really created for to serve the Lord and bring God glory. It's all about the Marriage to the woman and so the woman herself.
But not if she says only if you buy me a BMW. Only if you agree that I don't cook or clean because modern women are lazy an got that entitlement. Women who come into a relationship with that attitude will never stop complaining and they promise many lively days of combat. Better to pass on those girls.
