This piece should not be seen as an epistle to the women folk, far from it, this is a message to the men too. It is so ironical that while some women are trying to proof that they can do all a woman can do, some men are also trying to take up the role of the women.
I can remember I read some years ago about some men who wanted to proof to the world that labor pain women go through in child birth is just overrated, a machine was made to imitate the labor pain, at least to a certain degree, but none of the two men could stand the pain for three minutes, need I say more? Some men will tell you taking care of the home is an easy task, but most of them cant even watch the baby for a couple of hours when the mother is away.
But do we need to go through all that stress, proofing to one another that we can do things better? Is that really necessary? Either you believe in the Adam and Eves story of origin of human or you are a believer of the big bang theory, isnt it obvious that we all need one another to thrive in this cold and lonely world? It is obvious enough that men cannot take over the roles of women and women cannot function effectively in that of the men, why? We are all wired and formed differently.
Women, for example are more emotional in nature, which makes the woman unfit to be the decision maker in a relationship, does that mean that the women folks are stupid and not smart? Nope, in fact, looking back at history, we will see most of the woes that befell our world are as a result of wrong decisions made by men folk. But what I mean is, men are naturally more logical, with more foresight, you may not want to take all he says because he is also human and can make mistakes, but you should not dismiss him simply because you dont like his opinion.
Women on the other hand are good planners, while you are so focused on the future and whats obtainable there, she is more focused on the now, what are we going to do to get there. Some men see women as overbearing and a nag, but in most cases, she is just a concerned partner.
Imagine a scenario where the man is taking care of the long term plan and the woman, the immediate needs, with the two of them respecting the roles and responsibilities of each other, not being nosy or bossy, but working together to achieve their goals, beautiful right? I think so too. But pride and ego are in the way, self consciousness and the determination to see a personal will or opinion accepted has overshadowed the need to be humble and see the other person as an important partner.
If the woman is to complement the man, why insist on having your way even in the areas she has proven to be strong and you weak? Submitting doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong and more functional where you've been placed.
The list of examples is endless, but here is the summary, stop trying to have your way at all time, stop looking down on the other person, you may have 19, but without her 1, you are going nowhere. Why will you want to take over the role of the man when you are not through with yours? The society suffers when we try to be who we are not all because we arent satisfied with what weve been given.
Respect... trust... Humility... Love, a quatrain that cannot be separated
