How to Lie to Your Husband

I recently saw a video of a very short woman in great shape who jumped upon the kitchen counter from the floor in order to reach something on the top shelf. 

I thought kudos to her!

But the video immediately cut to an elderly man giving her an admonishing look and she quickly put the item back on the shelf, jumped down and proceeded to get her husband to fetch the item for her.

The action was to show him - the husband - that he was still needed.

I was disgusted. I tried to find the video and post it here but I could not find it.

This is wrong. We should not be teaching young women to be less than they are for the sake of a man's ego and to make him feel "needed."

If he is not getting his satisfaction from Jesus Christ, he is looking in the wrong place.

Any man who only feels needed in his relationship if the woman in his life is required to be less than she is, is not a real man. He is not manly. He is not a good husband. Unless he wants her to be strong, independent and reliant on Jesus, alone, he is a bad husband.

When I saw the first part of the video I was so impressed! I, personally, could not physically jump from the floor to the counter, but that's what this woman did! Imagine!

And yet, men in her life, at least in the video, want her to be less than she is to fuel the ego of the man in her life.

This is wrong. 

It is wrong to be less than you are for any other person. God has given you your strength. Do not minimize yourself for anyone,.

Instead of focusing on her relationship with Jesus, such expectations force her to focus on her husband and see to his ego. News flash: His ego is not her business or problem.

This type of thing also teaches women to lie. They are not being honest when they feign weakness. This is a way to lie to your husband, Building a marriage on a lie is wrong.

Ladies, do not be less than you are for anyone at anytime for any reason.

Are there times you'll need help? Sure! But, needing true help is not the same as feigning weakness.

Don't minimize your own strength for anyone, not even a husband, Be as strong as you are.
