2 | Woman weaker partner | Gen 1:27 | phruubeljiie | 65972 | ||
Dear Edna, Where does it mention woman as weaker sex? I have seen female athletes beat male ones in Olympic finals, and I have seen women as doctors and lawyers and senators... Mother Teresa does not appear spiritually weak, and nor do the 50 percent of the saints that are female, and neither do Mary or Rachel or Deborah the prophetess... If anything I am guessing physically, since the male center of gravity is at the shoulder, thus providing more upper body strength, and the female center of gravity is at the hips to aid in childbirth. It is a lot harder to deliver a child than to lift a log or brick. |

3 | Woman weaker partner | Gen 1:27 | Robert Nicholson | 65976 | ||
I enjoy the NASB rendering of this verse: "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered" 1 Peter 3:7 I do not think that the question here is whether the woman is weaker or not, but rather has to do with the attitude of the husband toward his wife. Some translations cite physical strength as the difference. If a husband wants to truly honor his wife he will treat her like she is a weaker vessel. In other words his love and care for her will be such that he will treat as his most valuable treasure. After all "we are fellow heirs of the grace of life" I hope this helps God's blessing to you Robert |
