Unequally Yoked?

I spend a great deal of time pondering… That may be why I can write a couple hundred page book in several weeks… So much is going on in my head… Last night I read an article about successful women… Married to less successful men…successful as we all know is subjective… The corporate sister who marries the blue-collar brother… I had to smile at that, because this is not a new phenomenon… This story is as old as slavery…field hand, married to the cook...you feel me... It is simply playing out differently… Growing up most of the educated women I knew… Nurses, teachers, secretaries… Were mostly married to blue-collar men…hardworking, there for their wives and children men… They worked, pooled their resources, raised their children, attended church… Amen… But something occurred where public exposure… Caused some great divide… If a man and woman weren’t equally yoked, something was wrong… Those brothers were no longer choices… Now we sit on seventy percent of women, who will never be partnered… Many say they don’t want to be… They got it going on like that… There is some truth to that… But a great deal of saying what feels right… But the truth is the truth…late at night... I can understand from a purely intellectual standpoint what is up… The church says the man is the head of the household… Hard for a sister to swallow when she knows who pays what… The world says… Man, she gonna emasculate you…all that money and listening to “the man” Don’t even go there…get you a ….girl…she knows how to treat a man… Then throw in friends and family and it is a slippery slope indeed… I don’t know the answers, surely I don’t… What I do know is that if we want to be partnered… Loved…wanted…related… Being equally yoked…when it comes to money and employment… Better not be all it’s about… Shared faith, love, family goals, and a simple desire to have coffee with… Someone you love, desire, want and sometimes need…who reciprocates those feelings… On a rainy Sunday afternoon… Is a beautiful thing… I also know that his forty and her eighty… Is mighty weighty… When pooled together… And what goes on in your home… Is your business…hers and his…nobody else's Just food for thought… Love and Blessings… angelia
