This is something I was convicted on a few years into marriage. My husband and I both used to be much more worldly but as I grow in the knowledge of Him, I felt myself being more discreet around my husband and doing certain things in private and even covering up more at certain times. I think having young boys made me realize I am to set an example for them of a Christian woman. I was actually just thinking about this recently, how girl magazines when I was a kid would say when you are comfortable around a boy you could pop zits or pass gas or dress frumpy in front of them. After years of being pregnant, barefoot, nursing and frumpy around my husband, I have realized he DOES love me regardless of my "gross" human side-but that doesn't mean he needs to be constantly exposed to it! He spends all day working hard to support our family, the least I can do is dress for him as if he were an honored guest. He deserves honor and respect and my discretion in his own home. :) Lovely post sister!
"But in mass media, feminism is not about equality, it is about normalizing degradation and violence and calling it empowerment." This is one of the realest statements I have heard about our culture's disgusting brainwashing of American women.
As a Christian woman, I am a firm believer in submitting to my husband as the leader of our family. However, to my secular girlfriends, this seems crazy. However as they scoff at my decisions to do the best I have to have a strong marriage to a committed man, they allow themselves to be emotionally and physically abused and objectified by men and call it independence and empowerment. Allowing themselves to be in porn, involved in S&M, serial dating, public lesbian acts, all while scoffing at the traditional family unit as oppressive and exploitative.
