There have been heated debates across social media via podcasts, Youtube posts and blogs about what or who a high value woman is. I think we can all pinpoint a few persons who have risen to fame or notoriety (however you want to view it) because their rhetoric about love relationships and women have been controversial. The deceased Kevin Samuels comes to mind and we all know about Pearl Davis of @JustPearlyThings, and others.
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Genesis 1:27-31
- Loyal
- Supportive
- Young (maybe between 18 - 25 years old; optimal child bearing age)
- Attractive/Sexually appealing
- Can cook
- Quiet. docile, submissive
- Loyal - Yes, sure a woman should be loyal, and loyalty to me connotes someone who is there for another person; does not betray the people in his/her life's trust. So a 'high value woman' should not betray her man's trust. I guess... she supports him when he needs financial help, or any other type of help or encouragement and doesn't betray his trust in any way.
- Supportive - She is there for him. She is always encouraging him towards his goals, and helps him to achieve them.
- Can cook - They always say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Maybe. I do hear men say they want a woman who can cook well. I also think it's not just about the cooking its the managing of the household overall is what men might find attractive. A nice, clean tidy space. Everything is neatly organized and in its place, etcetera. Of course men definitely want nice tasty, home cooked meals.
- Quiet, docile and submissive - The pundits who usually espouse the values of a woman of high value woman (see what I did there? 😂) also say the woman must be quiet, so not brawling or loud; the docile type that doesn't mind her man taking the lead at all times and defers all major, or even minor decision making to her man. She is submissive, she has no problem allowing her men to take the lead. I have a news flash for men about this point later down in this post so look out for it.
The Conundrum.
It was never God's plan for men and women to view each other as just commodities to be used. A while ago I wrote an article titled 'Christian Dating: Here's why Christian dating rules are not outdated. A follow-up blog' where I discussed the purpose for which Eve was created and how she complemented Adam.
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
