excerpt from Chuck Smith's book, "a family together"

"In creating woman God created her different from man in physical structure - the man being the stronger and larger, the woman being the smaller and more frail."

this does seem to be the case generally, but i know some strong women!

"Along with the physical differences, certain emotional differences were created. In the emotional realm He created the woman with a higher sensitivity than the man. Emotionally, man is usually very coarse. His emotions move in a narrower spectrum. A woman's emotional spectrum is quite wide. She's capable of great highs; she's capable of great lows. Yes, a man can get excited and a man can get depressed. But, as a general rule, he cannot appreciate as much as a woman or enjoy as much as a woman. Men don't have the extreme highs that women can attain."

This is why i posted this. What planet do i live on? This one paragraph has shocked me more than anything has shocked me in years. Men are coarse?????!!!!!!!


"As far as intelligence is concerned, I don't believe that there's any difference at all between male or female. I believe that women are capable of as great understanding and thinking process as men, they may even have a slight advantage over man in the area we call intuition. Spiritually, of course, men and women are one in the eyes of God (Galatians 3:28)."
But having created us with different physical characteristics and a different emotional spectrum, God then set forth the rules of the relationship between husband and wife. By obeying these rules, man and woman can find the fulfillment, joy, and happiness from life, that God desires them to have."

ok, now is it just me, or is there traits that are common to manKIND, and people have them in differing amounts? Some of the most dreamy, sensitive people I know are men.
Kyle, if you're reading this, yes, i'm talking about you! I was reading this thing today that said women aren't logical at all-they have to learn from men how to be logical. Sheesh. They probably never met Cate or Amy Mooney. Or my mother in law!
This whole weird notion that men are unemotional cold hard beings and women are melting emotionally driven i don't know what has been messing with my head for so long now. Where did it come from? Not my reality or experience, thats for sure.
Please give me feedback on this
