B̶a̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶S̶e̶x̶e̶s̶ to Joining of the Sexes

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord (1 Corinthians 11:11).

Our society is in a constant battle of the sexes to the point where it’s starting to demean the other gender. Social media, politics, T.V., songs, taglines, etc., you name it, continues to promote the competition of the sexes. One group is fighting for attention, while the other group is saying, “I am more important,” while both being guilty of putting the other down.  God did not intend for men and women to compete with each other. God made man and woman to edify each other, not tear the other down. Although He took Eve from Adam’s rib, it does not mean that she was less than - God took her from Adam’s side so she could be his partner, close to his heart.

God purposefully gave men and women separate and drastically different characteristics. Men are known to be more technical thinkers; however, this doesn’t mean that they are lacking in emotion and are not capable of being sensitive to others. Women tend to be more passionate in expressing their feelings; this does not mean that we can’t be what society considers to be practical. Men and Women may be on extreme ends of the spectrum when it comes to intellect and biology, but when we come together, we meet in the middle - a happy medium. We can get things done! So instead of putting each other down or bragging about what the other can’t do, let’s start lifting each other up for what we can do together. We all need each other. We can’t do life without the other.

Remember ladies; before you get carried away with an agenda to separate the sexes, ask yourself, “What’s the purpose behind this? How does this bring us together? Whose agenda is this anyway? Is our Creator happy with this agenda?”
