I timothy 2: 8 In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

9 And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. 10 For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

11 Women should learn quietly and submissively. 12 I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. 13 For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.

as a woman... before you go feeling like this is demeaning you or putting you down... think about some women that you feel are too showy.. too loud.. too abrasive.. too forward... 

as you think of one of these women... and you see them being this way instead.. can you somewhat see why he is speaking this way? 

I used to be one of those women.. I probably still am to some people's minds.. LOLOL!! I see why this is abrasive and obnoxious.. I can easily pull a few women to mind that I think this way about.. 

can you now think of someone you see as a strong woman, but quieter and confident.. but now loud and showy... and can you see how that would be so much more appealing... now don't imagine I am saying we are to all be the same.. all to be alike... we are all individuals.. I tend to be outspoken... but that doesn't mean I have to be loud or obnoxious with it... I can speak without being abrasive.. 

as a man.. this is not a free pass to be abusive and demeaning.. this is giving you the chance to stand up and become the leader that God has created you to be... to be a strong man who protects and comforts his woman without pushing her down and making her less than what she is... instead you can see her value in your life and know she is made just for you.. and you are her head.. her protector.. the love of her life...
