This may be true but if women stopped going to church would the men go back? I wish we could run that experiment and find out.

If it were not for (older) women the Christian church would have completely died out in Russia and probably places like Spain and Italy. When I’ve traveled, in Europe especially, there is a noticeable absence of men and I’ve been told by European friends that it has been that way for a long time.

Would there even be a Church if women did not keep up the traditions and raise their children in the faith?

I have to agree.

Without women, men are uncivilized......again, sorry, but that is true. God gave woman to man as a help mate, partner, and He "fashioned" her. He created Adam, but He "fashioned" woman. Therefore, I believe that is why woman are such beautiful creatures, inside and out. God's handiwork is apparent. Any man who's jaw had dropped because of the sheer beauty and grace of a true woman know of what I speak.

Moreover, there is an enduring strength of women! I watched some survivor type shows. The masculine men, in many cases, made horrible choices, and if it were not for the female cast members, they would have suffered more and perhaps even been injured beyond healing.

I think back to frontier America. It was women who helped us survive as families. What you said about the church being preserved by women is exactly correct.
