Today I was having a discussion about marriage. We talk about how the man is at lest most of the time the head of the house. He takes care of all the important matters that has to do with all things in the family. Anyways my friend started talking about Adam and Eve and how Adam was the head of the household. Well I got to thinking God made man and woman and man is to leave his mother and take a wife then the two will become one. They will have children and buy a house and start paying bill raising the kids and all that good stuff. God knew that the wife would run the house, and He knew the crap the husbands would have to deal with. THAT'S WHY GOD DOSEN'T HAVE A WIFE :D :D :D

PS this is just for fun.

God said to man it is not good that man be alone and without a helpmeet.
You chose your wife, so now you are suppose to be one with her. Man is not to sit there and let things happen, he is there to make things happen.
In the ideal world , you decided on the number children, and where you live and exactly how you live . Your wife should have always been in agreement with you as the head.
If you have to work two jobs sometimes , that is okay but otherwise as a house hold they may need to cut back. Hopefully the compulsive spending. spending can be controlled . Many of us have far too much stuff in this country.
I heard a man yesterday talking on the radio about losing his house in a fire. He said after the shock , he realized that he could not remember what half of the stuff that was in the house, all he knew was that all closets and spaces and garage were jamed full. He has slowly replaced things but now he realized that the stuff he had was not that "important"
WE work jobs we do not like so we can buy stuff that we do not need.
It is a very hard job to be the head of something. It not just getting the best seat, it takes a lot of time thinking and planning and then implimenting your team. In marriage it is a team effort
It got me thinking then , I had just ordered DISH network, I kept asking why, I am a TV adddict :P and will waste a lot of time watching all kinds of rotten stuff that will enter and pollute my mind.
It cost 49.00 month with a 2 yr commitment , after I cancelled it, boy or boy AT&T tried to lower the rate to 35 , said I could cancel at any time and that I did not have to buy the equipment. They finally understood I meant no.
Darrens Perhaps the burdens you are feeling have you exactly where God wants you. It is when we need help that we seek the Father the most. Christ is the head of man. The Father is His head.
I do not know what you mean by His not being married, Jaweh was married to Israel, boy what a family they were, the wife and kids almost never listened. :P
Jesus has been waiting 2000 years for His Bride and she will be spotless. ;D
Then He will show all man how to live rignteously and eventually All will be in All

Why a Man Needs a Woman
The Bible says, "And the Lord God said: 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." And so, "made he a woman." It dosen't say that he made a pretty or witty woman, or any kind-of-adjective woman. He made the basic woman.
Why is this basic woman so valuable to the man ? Three things :
First, she is a warm body in the bed. I don't refer to sexual activity. That is important, But I refer to soemthing that is, if possible even more primitive : human contact.
A baby crying in its crib dosen't want conversation or a gold ring. He wants to be held and patted. Adults need that physical contact also. They need to cuddle together for warmth and comfort in an indifferent or cold world.
But conversation is also important. We talk to each other in ways they cannot talk to anyone else. He can tell her of something good he has done without fearing she will think he is bragging. He can count on her interest and understanding.
The primary purpose of this conversation is to convey information. Its purpose is to say, "I am here and I know you are here."
Third,
The woman serves the man's need to be needed. If no one needs you, what good are you?
Other people-employers, students, readers-may say they need you.But in such relationships you are replaceable at some price. To this woman you are not replaceable at any price. That gives you the self esteem to meet the world everyday.
So this "ordinary" woman - one like millions others in the world - has great value to this man. And while I have written these views from a man's point of view, I don't think this relationship is one-sided. On the contrary, I am sure it is reciprocal.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Okay here is an oldie from Kat
Top Ten Reasons Eve Was Created
10. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden because he would not ask for directions.
9. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to locate and hand him the remote.
8. God knew Adam would never go out and buy himself a new fig leaf when his wore out and would therefore need Eve to buy one for him.
7. God knew Adam would never be able to make a doctor's, dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.
6. God knew Adam would never remember which night to put he garbage on the curb.
5. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.
4. As the Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember where he left his tools.
3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, It is not good for man to be alone!
And finally, the Number 1 reason why God created Eve . .
1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched his head, and said,
"I can do better than that."

beloved,this is a joke. ::) ::) I was trying to be funny. :D ;D :D ;D. Maby it was a poor attempt. I feel in no way burden. I am a very happily married man and I am IN LOVE with my wife of 18 yrs this Oct. I was trying to show how our Lord has quite a sense of humor by being smarter than us. Letting us (husbands) believe we are the head of the house when everyone knows it's the wife that runs things. Listen for everything my wife and I been through in just these last 5 yrs with Katrina and now Gustav. Believe me without her I would not have made it. I thank God every night that I have her in my life,(and I mean every night). So please remember this is for fun.(y'all remember fun, don't you)?

Kat, I greatly understand the need for women. I greatly understand the need for my wife. Trust me when I say this, I thank God every single night for my wife who is sleeping next to me,comforting me supporting me and loving me. Yes I thank God every single night. Yes I really do understand the role women play in men's life.

Beloved, that is a great top 10 list. I wonder if Lettermen would be interested.

Using the scriptures to look at the real marriage is the only way. And this marriage has nothing to do with man and woman getting a paper or seeking "happiness."

;D To all the men that responded;
Very funny!!! This wife here thought it was cute. When we get married we find our helpmate is right and do become one with our husbands. IMO.... There should be a compromise between the couple. Has I learned Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, But most of both groups come from Jupiter. I have been with Samson 3 glorious years and I let him believe he is the head of the household. ;D ;) Ha! Ha! The smart women do let their husbands believe they are the BOSS!!!!
ROFL, ;D ;D ;D

Ps... Just joking guys!!!

I know this is suppose to be off topic but it got me thinking about the name of the post...head of the household
(Gen 3:2) And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
(Gen 3:3) and of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'
(Gen 3:4) And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,
(Gen 3:5) for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it--your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'
(Gen 3:6) And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
(Gen 3:7) and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they are naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.
God told Adam to not eat it but who told Eve not to touch it?
Was Adam there while she was eating?
When he saw she ate the apple , he knew the rule , Ray teaches that he remembered life before when he was alone and decided to eat it too rather than to be alone. Like Christ he gave his life for Hos bride.
I think the problem is that the world does not like Gods order.
The Father is head of Christ, Christ is the head of man and man is the head of woman.
We are seeing only the carnal or the physical aspects and not alwats seeing the spiritual fully.
That part of self surfaces and gets on the throne , women thinking they are the ones who are really in charge and men thinking that the woman is because she hold his heart.
It really is hard to stop this thinking mode
But it is really symbolic, the women/wife relies totally on her husband, the husband relies totally on Christ spirit in leading to the Fathers Will. Total Rest.
That fruit is still working on us, we want to make judgement on Good and Evil , we cannot let God make those decisions for us. We need those fig leafs because none of is really capable of making these choices..
If we believe that the time is at hand, then we need more revelation and less entertainment. Okay forgive me I am being a party pooper again.

women are just way to beautiful to not exist. Perhaps the most beautiful thing to ever grace the mind of God! Or perhaps.. i'm just to carnal ><

Hi there, let`s try this one I don`t even know where it is but I have never forgotten exactly what it says, He who soever findth a wife findth a good thing he also findth FAVOR with the Lord. In other words to me this means, no wife, no nothing from the Lord, yikes, sounds like I might be just wasting my time with all this, God knows a wife in my life is impossible. There are many men out there that are in the same boat. Jesus had no wife, so why do I need one, He found favor with God. >:( Ricky
-
Oh my, Ricky. I don't think that's exclusive!
I Cor. 7:8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am.
Actually, that whole chapter is the best, most explicit teaching on the subject I've found. It's a great read, especially if you have imagination. I can almost SEE Paul struggling with what to say here. Sometimes it clear commandment, somethimes it's Godly wisdom. It's all worth it.
I've always gotten a kick out of the verse that says it is better to marry than to burn. Might be just slightly better, sometimes. ;D
As for poor unmarried Dave, my standards preclude changing this in the near future. I would never think of marrying any woman who would debase herself enough to marry the likes of me.
God bless us, every one.

This is not one of those lipstick jokes is it? ::)
If Jesus is willing to come and abode with you, you are no longer such a low life, What is man afterall that our heavenly Father is mindful of him.
I myself strive to have faith that I will be at His marriage supper
You must have insomnia too....or are you just up this late keeping the oil in the lamp lit for the bridegroom ;D ;D

I don't think I know the lipstick jokes. Groucho Marx (I believe it was) said something like, "I would never join any club that would have me for a member."
I'll have to think about the rest of that, Beloved. I also need a couple of hits of melatonin to get back to 'days'.

Thx. Dave, now I get it, married people need all the help they can get with the favor part, verse has nothing to do with me. Beloved if you see me at the wedding I will be the one cleaning the toliets if God allows dumb people in. Ricky

Dave,
Beloved is right, What are you doing up at 2:51 A.M. in the Morning and What am I doing up at 7:30 A.M. on Monday Morning, my day off, because I have to see the only honest Mechanic in Town, ;D Dave(just a suggestion), take a 10mg capsule of Melatonin approx 20 minutes before retiring. No, I'm not a Doctor, but when taking a measley amount of melatonin, less than 3 mg, it was ineffective. Some people don't benefit from it, but if it works, you will sleep like a teenager, ;).
Also, if you find a good Wife, that you like and Love(Phileo, Storge & Agapeo) and most importantly, get along with(most of the time), it's a wonderfull thing. Unfortunately or Fortunately, depending how you look at it, we don't know what God has planned for us, including our Love life, so the Jury on me is still out regarding The Wife, but don't tell The Freckle Girl, I said that, ;) ;D ::).
Kind Regards, Samson.

A little help here Dave in Tenn,
How does one know what a woman wants in a man.
One way to find out is to ask several women.
Men seldom know these answers, because they haven't listened to the women in their lives, but we can learn.
So let's take a hypothetical case:
What would you improve about a man to make him somewhat attractive to a Christian woman who is being called?
What are the three main attributes that desireable women look for in a mate?
Keep in mind that this is just an exercise and we don't expect definitive answers.
However, our comments may help someone who is lurking and seeking help in this area.
Good luck, indianabob

Believe it or not, in some ways I can be very shy....
I'm just also highly opinionated with a captive audience... ;D
I know the answer to what this woman wants and looks for...
But I thought Bob, was asking you, what you thought.... ;)
Sorry to throw you back under the bus Dave... :o

I believe most mature women the age of 40 and above wants a man they can trust not lie to them be faithful and a friend.
Someone that can cuddle without expecting anything more.
Someone that will be there for them and listen to them no matter how trival it may seem to them.
Thats a start. :D

THE WOMAN
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day
An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”
And the Lord answered:
“Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
“She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”.
The angel was impressed.
“Just two hands…. Impossible!”
And this is the standard model!?
“Too much work for one day…wait until tomorrow and then complete her.”
“I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart”.
“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day.”
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
“But you have made her so soft, Lord”
“She is soft”, said the Lord, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
“Can she think?” the angel asked.
The Lord answered:
“Not only she think, she can reason and negotiate.”
The angel touched the woman’s cheek…
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burden on her.”
“She is not leaking… it’s a tear” the Lord corrected the angel.
“What’s it for?” asked the angel.
And the Lord said:
“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
This made a big impression on the angel; “Lord, you are genius. You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvelous!”
Indeed she is! Woman has strength that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she believes in. Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution.
She gives herself so her family can thrive.
She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
She cries when her kids are victorious.
She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
There is only one thing wrong with her
She forget what she is worth….
... I just got this e-mail this morning and I thought I'd share this with yall...
