Respect as Women

[Sasha]

ILG, I love how you write and put things into perspective. I do agree that more teaching needs to be addressed with the men. It saddens me to see the divorce rate in the church to be as high as it is in the world. Sadder still is that they leave their spouse and find another in the church.

I personally know four women who's spouses left them in my former Upc church. Three of the four men remarried and of those three, two of them married women from another Upc church within a year of divorce. The only man not remarried is a minister...still. Of the four women, only one is remarried and did so about 4 years after her husband left her for another woman. Three of the four couples were married for about 20 years or more.

From what I have personally seen, its the men who leave and find another. The love for their spouse is gone. There is no more respect. Their families are torn apart. And I wont even touch on the affairs that have taken place by ministry and even pastors.

But instead of teaching our men how to love and respect women, we instead focus on teaching women that its their hair and dress that dictates how men treat them.
