That raising a daughter to be a submissive wife, in the biblical sense, makes it harder for them to keep their legs shut?

If I was planning on doing that I might have an answer. All I have is a BUMP

Nobody?

Is it that I wrote too much between the lines instead of on them again?

Maybe. I think being a wife a being a sexual partner are two seperate roles and most women have no problem distinguishing between them.

Having a romance with someone is not the same as being a wife and i think a young girls might have a hard time seperating the difference between the relationships you have as adults and the relationships you have as teens. I think teens struggle with that submissive or not.

I think I know some middle aged women who struggle with that.  I agree that having a romance and wifedom are not equal.

I am under the impression that many fundamental churches teach strong values concerning men and women and if you have been trained/are training, that women cannot have control or power than how do you then empower them?

I have also got no opinion on the subject. I've never met anyone who claimed to be raising a daughter for any such purpose...

I was under the impression that most girls in pentacostal and evangelical homes were raised with such values.

I suppose that's possible. The only person I know for sure who ever went to either of those was dh, and he was a teen at the time.

Hard to say. If they're raising their daughter to be submissive in the biblical sense then they are probably likely to be raising her with the bible as their guide anyway, and teaching her not to have sex until after marriage. Of course, many of the girls I knew growing up who were avid church-goers and who had really strict parents were actually the most promiscuous. But that's just my personal experience.

My ex step sister was raised in an (and I will spell this wrong) Episcipillan home, to be a wife, not a woman. She is now 30, recently divorced, and unable to take care of herself. She's never been taught how to drive, has never had a job, and feels completely worthless because she went against her faith and divorced her abusive husband. She went from living with her grandparents, to living with her husband, to living with her only friend, who is a completely controlling bitch, and am sure has no other friends.
