In Defense of the Beauty of Womanhood
Posted By Jacque Dixon on August 6, 2009 in Categories: A Wife after His Heart
I don’t mind if you
open the door
or take out the trash for me.
I don’t mind if you
fill up the gas tank,
and shovel the dirt, you see.
I also don’t mind if you
open the jar;
Nope, I think that’s sweet.
I can do it myself
I’m not really weak;
They’re not things that I couldn’t do.
But doing those things as the man in my life
to be the strong one
and care for your wife
shows me the beauty of my design.
It preserves my womanhood,
and keeps me feminine,
to love me as I was created as:
Woman

I’ll admit, I was afraid when I first saw the link thinking to myself, “Well God made us equals in many ways…” but then I read it and I rather like it. It’s a nice reminder that although He did make us equal in many ways, He still designed us for unique purposes.

Your poem is very true to life sis. I’m so thankful I have a God that knew me and a husband who is still learning everyday; as am I.
PS…I love the new look, I didn’t know who’s site this was until I went back up to the top and read it. OOPS!
Hugs sister,
