Have Women Become Too Independent For Marriage?
« on: November 11, 2018, 12:12:01 PM »
Have women become too independent to have and enjoy a harmonious married life?  

What do we mean by "independent" anyway?  

What can women do to change this?  

Is there anything men can do about it?

a.  Yes
b.  Too independent means women don't seriously consider marriage in their 20s and then don't realize their options are limited until their mid-30s, when their appeal is mostly likely diminished.
c.  Pray for humility.
d.  No, Other than pray that God will convert women from feminism, even if they don't realize they are feminists.

Both men and women have been affected by modernism, and it has been so since The Fall..so what else can we do but pray for and support each other in this fight against the devil, the flesh and the world?
Being a woman myself, it’s been unfortunate to see Traditional Catholic men treat their wife’s like slaves, who have no say in anything, and all in the name of combating the ‘feminist mentality’ in them, and in society. (Before someone freaks out on me, I am not saying they are all like this, it is just a tendency that some overcompensate to try and correct this problem)
So of course there is a balance to this, and I believe that reading the lives of the Saints and The Holy Family is a good place to start for getting healthier ideas on living a truly Catholic married life.
St Bridget of Sweden is one of my favorites by the way  :)

I've heard this fear or complaint a thousand times on Trad fora (including some very liberal ones).

How about we err on the side of women being too submissive, which wouldn't really cause any harm except to a single woman's pride, instead of erring on the side of too much "say", control or independence, which is actually against nature itself?

If a woman is a doormat, at least her kids will get the idea that women are to be submissive. But if she is a feminist, it will ruin her kids. The marriage itself might not even survive, and the kids will certainly be much worse off.

Women aren’t born feminist. I actually believe that over bearing men/husbands create them. No one wants to be a “doormat”.
