A Well Ordered Family

I learned that the Husband was the main governor of the household and the wife should be cheerful and obedient. The thing that most surprised me was how little credit was given to the women. They have to clean, cook, bear children and countless other hings. Literally no credit was given to them but to serve the husband. Today women are just as equal as men for anything. Most women wont put up with being under the husband. Some things about the article were true though. Things such as loving her as she was his own flesh and that he must not treat her like a servant. The part that stuck out to me the most was when it stated that even if your wife isn't so you, beautiful or has brought you fortune like other women to their men, she is still your wife and God commands you to love her.

  1. It is apparent that you completed the reading and easily noticed the differences between marriages back then and today.

    Great post. A few small errors, but overall very well written. 28/30 points.
