It seems that the people closest to us are often the most neglected. It's so neat that you have a good example of this in your father.<br /><br />I hope you continue to enjoy your stay here :-).Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174341193167712171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603525723563329549.post-29153015395550521472012-08-10T16:51:10.742-05:002012-08-10T16:51:10.742-05:00If men notice when women dress modestly, women not...If men notice when women dress modestly, women notice if men treat women honorably. Some male co-workers or friends have walked me out to my car if I was alone or they regularly ask what they can do to help me set up for something. These are secular men of my father's generation; I am ashamed when young men of my generation often do so much less. <br /><br />Women notice particularly how men treat their mothers and sisters; it is easy to be especially thoughtful of women outside one's family, but what about the women inside, on a daily basis? A great deal of my respect for my father comes from watching him change Baby's diapers, clean the house, cook, or wash dishes for Mom. Luckily for us, he knows the difference between baking soda and baking powder! ;-) Now we are training my younger brother to be a gentleman ("How to Treat Women 101" on my blog portrays a humorous example). <br /><br />I find your thoughts on a husband's lack of authority to enforce interesting. I had never noticed that before and it certainly puts the onus on the woman to be equally vigilant in HER God-ordained role! I'm new to your blog, but I enjoy your posts. Keep encouraging your brothers, Josh. Your sisters notice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821463567358285065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603525723563329549.post-25593807654211545262012-08-10T16:49:21.901-05:002012-08-10T16:49:21.901-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821463567358285065noreply@blogger.com
