Toward a More Comprehensive Understanding of Wifely Submission A divorcee lamented, “If only I had spoken to my husband about his abuse of me in the first five years of our marriage, we’d still be together. I didn’t know that I was allowed to speak up. He would have listened back then.” A dedicated Christian, she had been taught that she must “submit in silence” to her husband, no matter what the...more

Where to Now? Women as a Mission Field Many centuries ago (20 to be exact), female babies were considered a liability. Demographics in the first century in certain parts of the world were stunningly imbalanced male to female. Female infanticide was not uncommon. Baby girls, often considered the equivalent of deformed, were killed by exposure. In essence, it was permitted by law to leave them outside the city on the dung heap to die. That is about as clear a judgment of “worthless” on a human life as can be made. There was, however, a growing group of people who seemed to think the judgment was an error. Rather than accepting the culture’s assessment regarding the value of females, they went outside the city to the dung heaps to find and rescue the abandoned baby girls. The decision was both risky and sacrificial.It required standing against the mainstream and making a judgment that was counter to the culture of that time. It meant the giving of life, time and goods to someone else’s discarded baby girl. It meant extending the circle of one’s responsibility. It meant being devalued and disdained for stooping so low as to treat that which was...more

Women and Divorce in Later Life Although the rate of divorce among older Americans has steadily been on the increase (about five fold in 25 years), few definitive studies have been done to bring attention to this situation. The prediction is that the divorce rate will continue to increase as a large portion of Americans (namely Baby Boomers) enters the 60 and over age group (www.aoa.gov).1 While most divorces occur within the first seven years of marriage, the divorce rate then decreases until about midlife when it increases again at a significant rate (Kreider, R. M. & Fields, J. M., 2001).2 The National Center for Health Statistics (2001)3 recently released a report which found that 43% of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years.The divorce rate in the U.S. has leveled off with one exception—the rate is rising for those 60 and over. The Administration on Aging (1990, 2000)4 provided data on separation and divorce for those over 60 years. The 1990 and 2000 census reports the percentage of divorces. Although the 2000 report included ages 55 in the first category, the increase in late life divorce is clearly evident. (see chart on facing page) ...more
