Anyway, I've been taking heart from that verse about being worth more than rubies. Nice to know somebody thinks we are : )

On Serving and Leading
Whew! Under His Wings, you are a prolific writer! I can’t imagine all the hours you spent composing all those posts... This subject must REALLY be important to you! Louise, Pat and others, I really appreciate the counter viewpoints you presented, and Rich, it was nice to see a man’s perspective.
Let me see if I have your respective perspectives straight:
Under His Wing, my understanding of your perspective is that it is ALWAYS the man’s responsibility to be the servant-leader; through his example of serving, leading, cherishing, deeply caring for, and meeting the needs of the wife, the wife responds by loving, responding to, and obeying the husband. The husband gets his needs fulfilled when the wife responds to his masculinity with feminine submissiveness and obedient service. However, unless the man initiates correctly, the woman will feel ‘unfeminine’ in her response and will not be comfortable ‘serving’ him. It just would not FEEL right to her; therefore, she shouldn’t have to do anything that contradicts her own comfort levels.
The counterpoint to this is that sometimes the woman must serve without first being served. The man doesn’t always serve perfectly, and the woman doesn’t always respond perfectly even when he does it right. Therefore, sometimes (maybe most times in some relationships) the woman must reach beyond her comfort (feminine) zone and initiate serving. In fact, if she fails to do so, the family may not survive. After all, a wife should not just sit around idly and let her family starve or wear dirty rags because she is not ‘comfortable’ at the time serving their needs.
