Let The Men Serve

Mary Malone writes;
In a world of parallel lines it is often forgotten that marriage is there for the sake of women.
Clearly, once men are allowed to shirk their responsibilities and get divorced, marriage is seriously undermined.
It is in women's nature to have children. Loving and nurturing the young is a matter of instinct. It is what most women do at some time of their lives.
Clearly, being pregnant, giving birth, feeding the young, educating the children are all exhausting and time consuming activities.
It is very difficult to bring up a child on your own.
There are a number of options. Often a woman can call on her mother, or other female friends. Or she can buy help by paying women who are strangers to help her, while she herself goes out to work.
She can maintain her dependency on her parents, or claim from the state, but whatever she does she depends on somebody.
Independence is an idea, dependency is the reality.
The reality is that we all need each other.
A woman can treat the biological father of her children as merely a sperm donor, but that seems a waste of a good strong man.
A man is somewhat removed from the immediate reality of the children. He does not carry the child in his body. What better way of tying him in, than giving him some interest in his children by marrying him and giving his name to the children.
Of course, a woman can go it alone, but why not enjoy the great adventure of bringing up your children with the father of your children?
Two heads are better than one, a problem shared is a problem halved, two bodies are warmer than one.
Sometimes girls like to go out hunting, and boys like to play with dolls, but our gender does have a huge role in who we are, and most girls become mothers.
Two parents are better than one. She cannot go hunting, however much she wants, when she has to feed the babies. Much better to tie in a man, much better to let him serve you.
For that is what marriage is, the service of man to woman.
It is in a woman's nature to have a child. It is in a man's nature to serve the woman.
Only a fool will spurn men and their gifts.
