What is Modesty Really?

[amigo de christo]

I'll leave it at this. If Jesus is standing there, how would you dress to please Him. Because Jesus is always there.

THAT MY FRIEND IS THE RIGHT answer . What would one do and or wear if JESUS STOOD BEFORE THEM .
this is actaully a good reminder in all things we do . because as you said HE SEES ALL , HE KNOWS
HE is there . that was a nice reminder my friend .

You know it's important for women to be able to be feminine. It really affects our self-esteem and the way we take care of ourselves and others.

Perhaps the men haven't really picked up on that, and I hope @Wynona would agree, but maybe God designed us to be that way because woman was made for the man. Songs of Solomon is full of both appreciating one another's features. God designed us to be that way.

I couldn't have said this better. Yes. the womam was made for the man! Women are naturally attractive because we have obvious differences from men that complement the man.

The only way a woman could even try to get rid of all male attraction would be to erase her feminine features. Its not worth it and that's an actual sin Scripture speaks against.

I would say modesty is more about moderation and self-forgetfulness. As in, look your best and be covered enough, but think no more about it once you're done getting ready.

Trying to measure modesty only with men's reactions puts women in a lose-lose situation. Men simply love to look at women... in general. I do love my sisters who dress drab and plain but they aren't escaping notice from men. Besides, the Proverbs 31 woman wore silk and purple.

Yes! Exactly. We're supposed to draw our husband's attention. Never thought about the silk and purple!

I think it's time to go shopping and keep the sweatpants for workouts.

I started wearing sweatpants for comfort after I went up a few sizes larger but honestly, if I tried harder, regular waist bands might feel less restricting, but your verse is inspiring me to put more effort to in romancing Mr. Duck.

Thank you!

Enjoy shopping! As far as waist bands, lately Ive been finding more dresses that have a looser waist that are still very beautifuI. I needed them for pregnancy.

Love Olive and Modest Molly are clothing websites that come to mind with dresses like that but thrifting has never failed me.

I've been married nine years and I don't plan to stop looking cute for hubby now. He loved me even when I was chubby and had a horrible short hair cut, so Im happy to looksmax for him. Im just getting started!

Mr. Duck is sure to be pleased! God bless your union!
