Property of patriarchy! Female, 40

She's my wife.

A woman doesn't submit to noise, ego, or weakness.

She does submit to steadiness, wisdom, protection, and love.

When a man leads well, a feminine woman doesn't feel controlled.

She feels, at peace.

The world is loud, crowded, restless, and uncertain.

A woman was never meant to face all of it alone just to prove she can.

There's a reason her heart softens near a steady man. There's a reason his presence calms her. There's a reason his leadership feels less like control and more like shelter.

A good man doesn't block her view of the world.

He stands between her and the storm.

And a wise woman doesn't resent that.

Our generation needs women.

Not girls who are trying to be men.

We need more women who are excited and enthusiastic about becoming wives, mothers, homemakers, and nurturers.

Not women who think that assuming these natural roles will make them weak or ignorant.

We need more women who understand the strength and empowerment that comes with embracing femininity.

We need more women who understand the value of looking soft yet having a strong heart.

We need more women who want to serve and honor their husbands in return for endless protection and cherishment.

We need women who can’t wait to begin their lives as mothers, and not see having children as the end of their youth.

We need more women who value their appearance not only for their husbands but for themselves as well.

We need more women who are not frightened by the abounding love their hearts have to give, and do not wish to suppress their natural inclination towards emotional nurturing.

We need more women who are excited to submit to their husbands, instead of constantly competing with them to be the man in the relationship.
