We say we want equality…but we also want special treatment…right?
Someone recently sent these 6 deadly terms to me:
1) “FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when she knows she is right and your better half needs to shut up.
2) NOTHING: means something and your husband needs to be worried.
3) GO AHEAD: this is a dare, not permission… do not do it.
4) WHATEVER: A woman’s way of saying back off.
5) THAT’S OKAY: Woman is thinking long and hard on how and when you will pay for your mistake.
6) Bonus Word: WOW!: this is not a compliment. She’s amazed that one person could be so stupid.”
This is meant to be humorous but,
does this seem logical to you?
Woman’s Logic is:
1. Personal
2. Emotional
3. Identity with family, in home
4. Demonstrates love by loving child’s father
5. Thinks relationships
6. Details important
7. Communicates for fellowship and fulfillment/ facts unimportant
Man’s Logic is:
1. Impersonal
2. Mechanical
3. Identity with work; outside of home
4. Demonstrates love by loving child’s mother
5. Thinks provision; protection
6. Not interested in details/ “bottom line it”
7. Communicates for information exchange/ facts are important not fellowship
8. Woman is to complete him/ He does NOT want to be completed
Often parents then pass their immature, incomplete, unrefined personas
onto their family and expect them to adjust to it.
There is only one logic that, if followed, will produce mature and complete children equipped to live in this perverse world. One logic that will reap the reward of blessing from the only logic that really counts!
God’s Logic:
1. You give all you have to become rich
2. You must lose your life to find it
3. You humble yourself to be exalted
4. You love your enemies, not hate them
5. You be kind to those who misuse you
6. You take the log out of your own eye first
7. You study the law to find your sin
Whose logic do you live by?
