1950's Momma's Unite!!! edited** to add a couple thoughts
C'mon, I know your out there. I could use a little back up (if not a tiny bit of validation). I just got made fun of (really doesn't bother me much because really, who takes CM seriously anymore?) in another post for having 1950's ideals. Anyone else out there choosong to love honor and obey their husbands? Staying at home raising the kids? Taking care of your husband the best way you can? Doing things you know will make him heppy (ie laying out his clothes, doing the housework, taking care of household issues)?
If you are out there say it loud and say it proud! I AM AN OLD FASHIONED WIFE AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I'D RATHER DO!!!
I am not going to add what I wanted to because I am too close to the beginning of my Christian journey to explain my thoughts properly. Others have done a pretty good job though and I thank them.
To those of you who seem to need to retort on every positive post I only have two sentences to say to you: "I thinkist thou dost protest too much." (or something like that) -and- Jealousy is unbecoming.

Quoting Marti123:
Not for me, but I love the fact women are empowered to choose any role they wish, be it 1950's SAH mom and wife or WOH mom and wife !!
I don't obey my husband, but I would not make a decision that is disrespectful to him in any way. He doesn't have to set rules for me. I do things like lay his clothes out, cook his food, bring him his drink and plate etc. because I want to, not because he told me I had to. He never has. I don't know what that would make me, but that's what I do.
I would rather live in an era where women who choose to never marry or have kids are seen as any other kind of person. Where mothers have a choice but to be a slave, doormat, and punching bag. =)

If every wife were to strive to be a proverbs 31 wife, there would be no divorce
Divorces will always happen. If you thinking asking permission to make a purchase will stop divorce, you are sadly mistaken.
If every wife strived for this, many of us would be miserable. If it works for you, that's great.

Really? Where did this idea of a woman's place in marriage come from?
Quoting Bgbd:Quoting justone_jen:
Only because, IMO, feminism has completely skewed a woman's idea of her place in a marriage
Yes and no, I do all the housework and cooking and stay home with the baby but not because I'm old fashioned. I cook because I was a chef before I had a baby, I do the housework because I like it done a certain way and he cleans slowly also I find it only fair that I take care of the house since he takes care of me. I am in no way the subservient 50's house wife though, I'm loud, stubborn, and crass
At what age should I tell my son dh is not his bio dad?
