I found myself quite amazed as I watched the recent footage of a plane landing on the Hudson river in NY. Even more unbelievable was that everyone got out alive, virtually unharmed. Chilling the reports were of the passengers who were quite sure the end was near. Heroic was the motto that afternoon; passengers helping one another embark from the plane. A male passenger recounted how they worked to get women and children out first. Women, astonishing I thought females aren't supposed to need help. Why a woman can do anything a man can, even better! Women are not to be the weaker sex functioning totally on their own without a man's help. So they think.
Men go along with the philosophy simply because it's necessity. Yet on that afternoon as the plane began to fill with the freezing Hudson waters masculine instinct crept in. Perhaps without even realizing what they were doing the men helped the women to safety first. Risking death so the ladies might live. God created it to that way, the man would be the protector of the woman. Internally men behave that way, instinctively they will strive to care for a woman protect her. Men will open the door for the ladies. Help the lady with her things. All because of the masculine instinct. Strange? No I think not. Women long to clean and care for a house. Cooking appealing meals for the man. Rocking a baby and soothing it to sleep. Because of their maternal instinct.
Instincts the world is instructing us to shun. Women don't need a man and men don't need to help a woman. Surprise is it not that divorce is at an all time high. Someone once told me women leave their marriages simply because they realize they can do it on their own. I find this inexcusable. Females need the help of the males.
Girls let the man open the door for you. Let him help you with your tasks.
Guys know that there are girls that need a mans help. Perhaps we are able to open a door ourselves but of course nothing makes you feel like a lady than a a gentleman opening a door.

AMEN!!! I was trained by my mother (without my noticing lol) that when I grew up I would marry become a loving wife and mother and be there for my family while my husband would provide and be the leader of the family. During my teenage years (after I had met the boy that would become my husband) I had many women tell me that this way of thinking was old fashioned/out dated and just plain silly. My husband loves the way that we work so perfectly in harmony together. I know if I hadn't met my husband that I could live on my own but thank God I met him my life feels so fulfilled with him and my children. Thank you for writing this it was wonderful to read of someone else with the same thoughts.
