The day before Thanksgiving. As I bake multiple pies, I can't help but smile. I am very happy at the role of housewife and mother I was born to fill. Most of my life I fought against it. Today's society seems to imply that a stay-at-home mother is lazy or has no ambition to do anything significant with her life. In my opinion, there is nothing more important then raising your children well & taking care of your family. God created woman to be a man's help meet. It takes a strong woman to submit to her husband...to fight against her own ego and pride. Even the best men in the world are only human, and are prone to sin, error, mistakes, bad choices. But if you trust in God, then you trust where He has placed you in this life. Man needed a help meet. God created woman to fill that role. Women complete the man. Submissive doesn't mean less important, it just means there has to be one captain of the ship. It has been shown time and time again through society's history that more then one boss in any situation never works out. It always leads to strife, discord and often underlying bitterness and resentment. Someone has to have the final say. I truly believe a woman's place is in the home. Not just for the enormous economic & societal benefits...but I feel confident that if women accepted the roles they were born to fill, women themselves would find true peace and happiness
