I have never felt like I needed to be liberated. My husband of 35 years has taken care of me when I was ill, sometimes for long periods of time. He has made approximately 95% of all the the money our family has earned over the years and best of all he gives it ALL to me to spend in whatever way I see fit. He is a great cook and frequently does the grocery shopping. We both pull our weight when we can; but, when necessary he pulls my weight too without ever complaining. He truly is my night in shining armor and my children and I worship him. I don't EVER want to be liberated from him.
I know some women aren't that lucky. I thank God that I am.
P.S. My husband thinks he is the lucky one.
Sounds liberated to me! Definitely is not oppression or slavery.
"Submit yourselves one unto another..."
At a presentation of the physician's portion of the abstinence program, "Worth the Wait," I was surprised by the questions I was asked by the 6th graders. One girl, after I had told them that the best and only safe sex was one partner for life, asked me, "How do you know he's the one."
After acknowledging that she had asked the toughest question of all, I told them that the other person would make you feel better about yourself -as though you are a better person when you're around him or her - and that each should feel like he or she was lucky to have the other - that probably each should feel that he or she is more lucky than the other!
