Blog and Mablog is presented by Canon Press.
"This is why it is essential that you look for a woman who loves the Word of God straight, no chaser. She needs to love the way God ordered the world, she needs to love the respective ranks appointed for husband and wife in the creation order, she needs to love the Scripture’s description of these things, and she needs to respect and love you.
You must avoid, like the proverbial plague, any woman who cherry-picks her way through the Bible. If she has a high view of the permanence of marriage, and a low view of her responsibility to be submissive in that marriage, then the former promises to become your cage, and the latter will be the sound of her throwing away the key."

Growing up in a feminist culture made me so staunchly conservative that I desire to have a godly and wise husband who will be the head of my household.

[@StudioofOneAccord]

It's ruined everything it touches... its subtly in the church is where it's the hardest to root out, because of all the indoctrination that's infected the church to be egalitarian and lodged itself with Gospel. It's made dating difficult in this age. A lady who is willing to follow her husband and be submissive is leagues ahead of the crowd. But that would also mean the man is worthy of pursuit, which is also hard to find for it's various reasons - lack of resolve and wide enough shoulders to bear up her burdens and his.

[@kentfrederick8929]

Here's the thing. My paternal grandfather the Democrat thought women should obey their husbands. My maternal grandfather, the Reagan Republican, thought that wives should run the family.

[@horrificpleasantry9474]

Lol Hannah when the rubber meets the road the question is, will you do what he wants if you really don't want to? Submission isn't shown in agreeing when you are already on the same page, but when he directs you somewhere that you are resistant to going

[@SincerelyHannah9]

@@horrificpleasantry9474 I’m practicing by submitting the word of God even when it sounds contradictory to what I would like to believe. That’s why I pray for a godly and wise man who will lead correctly because it’d be tragic if I’m beholden to the whims of a foolish and weak man😫

[@SadieLGardner]

"Democrat" meant something very different two generations ago. I take care of 80+ year old people for a living. Most of the democrats are Democrats because of unions and civil rights, they do not support the idea of gay families let alone gay marriage. Some of them like the idea of women being allowed to work and even serving in the government but that is the extent of it 99% of the time. Half the caregivers hate the people they take care of because they said "A woman can't be president!" When Hilary ran haha. I'm not saying that generation had more wisdome than we do, but their culture wasn't quite so averse to truth

[@kaitislate]

These "letters" are better and more biblically based than any 6 week sermon series on marriage/dating/family making the rounds right now. So thankful for Pastor Doug!

[@Chirhopher]

That's a little much, don't You think. More Biblically Based than any 6 week sermon series .. as Brother Doug will tell You, We do have Faithfully Obedient Pastors, Preachers, Teachers, etc. Even Doug and the Brethren of the Flowship have these Sermons, giving much more Biblical information than these quick shots, "letters". Big Brother is very Biblical, but this - 'more Biblically Based that Any ... Sermons' - is, with all my Love, just not true. May GOD Bless You and Lead You to other Faithfully Obedient Brethren, just as solid Preaching Sermons, In The Thrice-HOLY CHRIST!!-)

[@justinhebert5155]

I agree with Kaitlin. I have listened to a lot of teaching on manhood, biblical roles and marriage, this is some of the best content I have ever heard. It's very rare to hear the Bible explained so straightforward from someone who doesn't feel like he has to apologize for what the Lord has said.

I'm 35 years old. My mom made sure we went to church every Wed and Sun all the way up until I left for college. How did I manage to spend that much time in church and also be a part of the young adults group during college and never hear a message like this? I am so thankful for KZbin so that I can find and hear from men like Doug. If I had Doug or men like Doug to learn from while growing up, I would have been so much better off as a young man during my 20s

[@buckaroobonsaitree7488]

I’d hazard a guess that like me, you’ve never been to church. You went to the “religious affiliated social club” and the man on the stage believes in the 11th commandment, thou shalt be nice, and they don’t believe the other 10. Let me guess, they let women speak in your congregation and have authority teaching men?

[@phillipshorter7751]

Probably it was the case that your church simply went with the norms of our feminist society. Since feminists verbally abuse any man who mentions anything about the realities of life between the sexes until he shuts up, pastors get it both barrels non-stop until their either excommunicate the feminists (which almost never happens) or until they cave and stay silent on the issue.

[@AlixPrappas]

This is both amazing in one sense and not surprising in another. My ex fiancé left me for the very reason you stated. I was weak and egalitarian in my worldview. There was pain and strife in that relationship. “It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.” I still have much maturing to do before I will be worthy to lead a marriage, but I am hopeful to find a God loving and scripture-honoring woman to be my helper in the work he calls me to. Thank you for your exposition on his word Doug.

[@nickembry4537]

Dig in brother. You can't pass up a good woman if she comes your way just because you think you aren't ready.

As usual, a Scripturally astute and incisive analysis from Pastor Wilson. I wish I’d had teaching like this back in the day. And that line about dudes carrying off the track and field trophies was really funny. Plus the imagery of the “egalitarian porcupine” was decidedly spiky. Well done, sir.

[@anchorbass24]

Doug, if I would've had this info 10 years ago I may have not gotten divorced, and if I had it 20 years ago I may not have gotten married! So glad young men have this info now, but how can we take steps to ensure other men don't make the same mistakes?

Thanks for the wise words. This quarter I'm trying to teach high school seniors Jane Austen's Persuasion. The delightful couple in that novel, Admiral and Mrs. Croft, demonstrate an ideal, I think. The admiral is secure enough not to mind being taken down a peg by his wife; and she doesn't mind being led by a man who isn't perfect. The scene where Mrs. Croft helps the Admiral keep their gig on the road while he babbles on demonstrates God's grace in marriage brilliantly.

[@ArcherWarhound]

Hear, hear! Though for accuracy sake, and for better reception of the rank discussion, I would say the husband and wife relationship is like a lieutenant and sergeant, rather than a lieutenant and an ensign. In the military lieutenants are the leaders that provide vision and marching orders and are the authorities that mete out serious discipline, while the sergeants (the top of the NCO ladder) are the mothers of the troops keeping them fed and shipshape with creative use of chores and more mild discipline, and ensigns are the first level of NCO, barely more than privates. Your teen you trust to babysit the younger siblings while you're out on date night is an ensign.

[@markchristian787]

Absolutely brilliant. Ill have to remember this quote forever-"If you spend enough energy, money, and time jamming feminism down everyones throat the end result will be a bunch of dudes carrying off all the women's track and field trophies." On the flip side though, I have ran into several non believing unmarried women who totally respect the patriarchal position of the family. Granted, they are for it since its obviously been this way for a semi-functional and healthy society all throughout history but at least theres unbelievers who said the plus with what God has made.

[@austinhembree870]

I don’t get this quote.. why track and field?? I don’t think I’m dumb in asking as it’s not an obvious thing. Also, if women are to be the helpmates and the crown of men then why is it not that bad for the men to be doing the supportive work of carrying trophies for the winners of those that compete? It’s really not that clear.

[@markchristian787]

@@austinhembree870 Im not sure if youve been following the news but theres now men with mutilated body parts (maybe better known as "transexual") pretending to be females and dominating female sports.

[@kaylar3197]

Okay, I can’t tell if this question is asked in earnest or not, but I am going to answer as if it was. There’s nothing specifically about Track and Field, he just picked a category of sports that Men can always beat women in (which is most of them). And to “carry off” the trophies means that they won them. He’s talking about transgender men competing in women’s sports.

[@way2tehdawn]

I didn’t really know about the whole submit to your husband thing until she told me. I don’t know what to make her do though, she already does chores and makes all the food 😅 My boss for instance makes random busy work for me to do, that doesn’t really achieve anything but it fills the day up. I do it because he’s the boss but I think a lot of the stuff he has us doing is superfluous. Domestically speaking I am not like my boss, I feel like I just bring money into the house and she spends it. I treat her sometimes and yeah that’s it. I really don’t understand how I’m supposed to exercise authority over her, should I just invent things for her to do?

[@shannoncrawford7212]

Not at all on the busy work. Sounds like your relationship is already functioning fairly well domestically. And a lot of that may be her willingness to live her God ordained role, without you even realizing it. A lot of leadership is in those you lead knowing they can depend on you, trust you, know that you will have their back when needed, but discipline/correct also when needed. If you have that, then they will follow more willingly than if you are unreliable, selfish, etc. It is your job to ensure the spiritual growth of the family. An example where one might need to exercise authority in that realm. Your church goes woke, starts teaching heresy, etc. You know you need to leave after discussing it with the church leadership and they are unwilling to repent and change. But she loves the programs, music, etc. and wants to stay. First try to convince her and show/teach her what the problem is so she is willingly on board, but if not ultimately that is your decision and hers to submit to. Or maybe in regards to work. Say you’re required to compromise your principles/beliefs and you need quit, but are going to have to take a lower paying job. She wants you to stay for the additional income, and threatens with all kinds of nasty consequences. Again, you try to convince her so she is on board and supportive, but ultimately you have to do what is necessary. And it may not even be a bad situation at work, just are going to take a different career path. You should accept her input and weigh it, and maybe you change your mind based on her input. But if not, it is your ultimate decision, not hers. But again, as a good leader you will have the best interests of those you lead in mind. And maybe they are correct and you should heed their input. But maybe you have a longer view in mind that they can’t fully comprehend, in which case you should try to fully explain it to get them on board. But their bests interests, doesn’t necessarily mean them always getting their way. I am the breadwinner for our family, and my wife manages the home. She also pays the bills. She does an excellent job of it, and child rearing. I am pretty hands off of with her homemaking as there is no need to nit pick. Even when she has a day she doesn’t feel like making dinner, it doesn’t bother me. I’m a big boy, if can help out when needed (usually involves take out, lol). I quit my good paying corporate job in 2017 to go into business for myself. Which included us moving from OH back to her home state of NC. She was very supportive of the entire change and move. But I had also demonstrated my reliability, and my care and love for our family, for 17 years at that point. And fully laid out the plan for the transition, income and our future, so she could feel more secure. I didn’t just communicate nothing, and tell her I’m the boss that’s why. And all women are going to test their man. In the moment they want you to cave so they can have their way when there is a contentious disagreement on a decision. But in the long run, they will lose some respect if you give in, especially if that decision ends up being a mistake. They will blame you, at least mentally, for not stopping them.

The Bible commands women "to be keepers at home." And instead of preaching, teaching, or usurping authority, she's to bear children. "Every wise woman builder up her house. Having babies, raising them and being a homemaker doesn't pay anything. A wife's desire being unto her husband means she's dependent on him for whatever she wants or needs. That's what "your desire shall be unto your husband" means. Being dependent is not fun. Male and female are of equal worth, but the man is in a better position than the woman. That's the curse along with multiplied conception and problems and pain in childbirth...Wilma

[@drzpl7229]

Excellent! So many jump on that one Galatians 3 scripture about there being no male or female in Christ and dismiss every other scripture in the Bible that speaks about gender dynamics in hierarchical terms. Galatians is about The Gospel of Salvation, and how it’s equally accessible by everyone. A gentile need not become a Jew, a female need not become a male, a slave need not become a freeman. All are equally saved through One Faith, One Baptism, One Christ. We are all ONE in Christ. The worst part about all of this is that we have so-called grown men in Christ in leadership positions with phds and decades of experience spouting absolute nonsense in regards to God’s Standard for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. They don’t fear at all the logical conclusions of their hollow premise. If there is no male or female in Christ, then why not permit homosexuals to marry or men to transform themselves into the image of women and vice versa? Why respect Romans 1 when you can just explain it all away with Galatians 3? Easy answer: you can’t, because there are a thousand pages of insight to scour through and digest to help get to the actual understanding of what these passages mean (some of the passages being so direct and clear that it has to be a satanic and willful ignorance to dismiss it). Thank you Pastor Wilson.
