Now that I have had the privilege of meeting you both, I can vouch for the vibrancy of your dance together. Thank you for these words that so honor your husband, and for the example of how the fullness of one lends such reflected glory to the other. You give me such hope!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13889005944347285481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-77245262618985582802009-05-31T08:44:25.994-07:002009-05-31T08:44:25.994-07:00Great question. This may sound confusing, but I'll try to explain.<br /><br />I believe that most Christians assume that feminism is a man-hating enterprise, so I tagged this blog to give them a chance to read one of my posts that was more "pro-man"<br /><br />I do not, however, think that all feminists are anti-male, though some secular feminists, are. Perhaps the tag would read more accurately as "anti-man-hating feminism"<br /><br />thoughts?Jonalyn Fincherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945029272562666706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-37708853221688185732009-05-30T17:10:51.253-07:002009-05-30T17:10:51.253-07:00Why is this post labeled 'anti-feminism'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-28720054855268317982009-03-01T09:43:00.000-08:002009-03-01T09:43:00.000-08:00Hi Cara,<BR/>Glad you pointed this out. I do think the economy began by hurting the while collar jobs, where men dominate. Now the trickle down affect means that those who work in part-time, lower pay jobs (often where women and minorities dominate) are now feeling the pain of tighter budgets and less resources.<BR/><BR/>As the stock market continues to dip, so many industries are affected, and as instability becomes the norm I think that many of the jobs women usually hold become less necessary (for instance women are the main professional daycare workers, but childcare becomes less necessary when one parent is out of work, or the money made from the 2 parent's salaries cannot cover the childcare costs). <BR/><BR/>One encouraging thing is that less money means women (and men) have to get more creative. I've seen some beautiful examples of bartering and trading going on even in my community. I give piano lessons, my friend provides me with a home cooked meal.Jonalyn Fincherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945029272562666706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-35267323112175549922009-02-26T22:01:00.000-08:002009-02-26T22:01:00.000-08:00Hi Jonalyn,<BR/> I saw this article and remembered your earlier article about how the economic downturn was affecting men. Here's the link:<BR/>http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm?aid=3871<BR/>Do you think there's been a change in the economy?

Besides that, he seems like a step above myself and many others.

God give you grace to lead your un-distracted life during this season (I Cor 7:34).<BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing!Jonalyn Fincherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11945029272562666706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-52062335747804635892008-12-19T15:14:00.000-08:002008-12-19T15:14:00.000-08:00Jonalyn <BR/><BR/>well spoken wisdom. Thanks for sharing. It helps me get to know Dale better--- <BR/>he is quite a man-- <BR/>When we went to marriage counseling our counselor said something that has stuck with me-- every marriage has their "achilles heel" That part of relationship that is hard or difficult about loving the other person. He said some people focus on that <BR/>"Achilles heel" and others learn to gracefully live with it-- if your "achilles heel" is that he doesn't like dancing in public-- that isn't too bad.. but if I do remember correctly-- you do know how do dance-- Have you considered private dancing lessons for the two of you? Or does that count for dancing in public? just wondering....Catherine Illianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11027326155983891953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187790137288910965.post-79792924224118314402008-12-19T12:39:00.000-08:002008-12-19T12:39:00.000-08:00Aww!

I am 31 and wish for a man to love me like your Dale clearly loves you. I just want to say I thank God for marriages like yours. All we ever really hear about nowadays is how marriages are breaking up and divorce is rampant in the Body of Christ. But I appreciate knowing that there are couples like you and Dale that are demolishing that curse with every day that you love each other more, for the right reasons.

Paul and I have been so blessed to have couples like you and Dale to look up to. Thanks to you both for living out your love for each other unashamedly and with such intention.
