Why I love being a woman

There is so much negativity surrounding being a woman. Every time I mention that I love being a woman, people of both genders inundate me with reasons I shouldn't. And while I do not want to take away the experiences of other women, I feel it much better to focus on all the beauty of being a woman while trying to fix problems like misogyny and violence against women rather than telling women they just hate the fact they are women.

Women are soft, beautiful, peaceful, and tender nurturers. Every day, I feel so much joy when I show love to others because I know that God created me to nurture others. This doesn't mean that I can't be loud and boisterous, it simply means to be kind and gentle with others. Nurturing the people around me with my words makes me very happy.

I love being under the leadership of Ayden. Many people think being under the leadership of your man is oppressive, but when a man is properly unselfish and understands that his leadership is a means of serving his wife, then it is lovely. My darling takes all the mental burdens of life off my shoulders, which means I am totally free from the stress and can really enjoy myself. Being under the leadership of my man is true liberation.

Being a woman means to be taken care of. When I met my darling, in the year we dated before getting married, he paid for all of our holidays, dates and gifts. He carried all my luggage, opened doors for me, and slid out my chairs. Almost a year into our relationship, he purchased a beautiful diamond ring for me, and went down on one knee to propose to me. Men going down on one knee is a knightly symbol of showing honor and fidelity. He vowed to protect and provide for me for the rest of our lives. And, one day when I become a mother, he will take care of me so that I can spend all the day at home with our baby. Such blessings!

Being a woman is to be pampered. Every morning I wake up with a pink silk eye mask on my face, I can either sleep in more or choose to get up. I do my morning routine slowly and peaceful with music playing. I wear silk pyjamas, sleep with a large warm duvet, drink warm tea out of my favorite pink mug, and enjoy my homemaking, I describe more in this post.

Being a woman is to be a helper. In life, there are (usually) two paths you can take, to be a helper to your spouse or to be an employee. Some people are able to live entirely off the earnings of their own business, but that is not very common. There is a huge joy to be found in serving your spouse, because instead of serving people you don't know, you get to serve the man you love and the man who takes care of you, the man that God appointed for you. I love the fact that God created me to be a helper for my husband, because my purpose is to love and be loved, to cherish and be cherished, to serve and to be served, to take care of my safe and warm home while my man works hard to give me everything I want in life, to support him in his heavy role as the head of our home. There is no greater honor.
