How to be a Strong Woman in any Relationship (feat. Mari Pablo) 

Don’t enable their character defects! LOL. I recommend a meek spiritual director to vet the content on these topics. Can somebody say Jezebel spirit?

@@ppazautomation i think you’re taking it to an extreme. They are not advocating that strong woman are extroverted but they are using themselves as one of the many examples of what a strong woman can be.

🐟 25. THE ROLE OF FEMALES: Women are fortunate because they are BORN with a job: Daughter. Wife. Mother. Females normally have no role in public life. Exceptions to this rule are relatively rare. For instance, women may work in the arts (singers, actors, and dancers, which often demand female players), or as maids or nurses, both of which are feminine duties, providing it has no detrimental effect on their PRIMARY function, as daughters, wives, and mothers. So, a female’s fundamental role is to serve her MASTERS (any man in her family circle), even from a relatively young age, by performing domestic duties and raising her children. Barren women (heterosexual or otherwise) are extremely unfortunate, but can still devote their lives to serving their husband, father, grandfather, uncles, or in the event that none of those men are extant, adult male cousins. Studies have shown that the more a woman deviates from this innate societal function, the less she is fulfilled. The phrase, “Cat Lady”, says it all. As a general rule, women should be protected in the home, and never wander-out alone. They should FULLY cover their bodies in the presence of post-pubescent males outside the family circle. Even the prostitutes in some nations wear veils in public, even if out of fear of reprisal. Having lived the eremitic life of a monastic priest for a few decades, I can attest to the importance of keeping one’s home clean and tidy. It is obvious to me that housekeeping is very much a full-time occupation, and that if I were to neglect my domestic chores, my health and comfort would greatly diminish. As would be expected of a person in my position, I follow a strict diet and am obsessive in regards to hygiene. Without a spouse, the onus is on me to maintain my residence in a prim and proper manner, even though it results in me spending less time teaching religion as a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher, in my particular case). Therefore, the role of a housewife is of PARAMOUNT importance, and must never be discounted by anybody, particularly feminist ideologues. The following chapter deals with feminism. The ONLY reason I have resided alone for most of my adult life is due to the fact that there is a severe scarcity of decent women in my country, and indeed the entire world, what to speak of holy and righteous women. Unfortunately, few women, particularly in the more affluent nations, any longer receive adequate training in the connubial arts. In my former marriages, I was forced to perform most household chores. In recent centuries, due to various factors (FEMINISM, in particular), women have become so degraded, that is it practically impossible to find an example of an ideal woman. Therefore, in order to reference examples of such a woman, one is forced to refer to figures from ancient myths. Mariam, the mother of Lord Jesus Christ, and Devī Sītārānī, the wife of Śri Rāja Rāma, King of Ayodhya, are the epitome of womanhood, and ought to be the role models for each and every girl born on this planet. That is assuming, of course, that those two women were, in actual fact, the gentle, refined, humble and submissive goddesses they were portrayed to be in the archaic scriptures. Obviously, this teaching receives an ENORMOUS amount of scorn, contempt and derision from a certain proportion of women (and also many "men"), but that is perfectly fine, because, such foolish feminists are destined to die lonely and alone, with no family surrounding them, and hopefully not transfer their adulterated genes to forthcoming generations. In some locations in the world, STRAY COWS freely wander the urban streets, displaying their teats. Similarly, in most locations, women wander the dangerous streets alone or in groups, displaying their bosoms and other bodily parts. Such loose women are no better than STRAY COWS. The TRUTH is very difficult to accept, right, Slave? “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the TRUTH.” Siddhārtha Gautama (AKA The Buddha), Aṅguttara Nikāya 3.131 (Paraphrased). Paṭicchanna Sutta “...encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.” ************* “Yet women will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.” ************* “Women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.” St. Paul of Tarsus, Titus 2:4-5. 1 Timothy 2:15. 1 Corinthians 14:34.

The humble, introverted and reserved women surprises everyone everytime that they can not be walked-on. That's the moment I love the most in quiet strong women.

Amen! These girls are commiserating in their character defects. Repent from the Jezebel Spirit ladies! Thank you God for all the people who have called me out on it in my life. Sometimes humiliating but that’s the only way to get down to humility.

Completely agree.

@@ppazautomation What character defects are they commiserating in?

True

Wow!! I’m also a single Catholic Indian woman on fire for our faith! I want to marry a man who is on fire if not more for his Catholic faith too! Praying for both of us!! 😊🙏🏽

Same here!!

Wowww that's beatiful!! I pray God and Mary to find somebody like that too!!

Hey me too:-) God Bless you

Very well Said

You have a good comment. Finally something good to read

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🌺👌🏽💚

I think I find direct women intimidating because I feel vulnerable when they call me out on my BS or shatter my illusions. Sometimes I am envious of women who are unafraid to speak their minds

Do people assume you are a pushover

@@IONov990 I think so....

@@olgamarinho there is something feminine about quiet women. They seem demure and reserved. I associate quietness with feminine beauty. You are probably very gentle which is seen as feminine. It can be difficult knowing the proper way to act as a woman. We all have very different temperaments.

@@IONov990 thank you for your kind words ❤️

@@olgamarinho I am also an introvert, but, I can be loud and talkative depending on who I am with (usually with family, and a small group of friends with whom I'm comfortable.) I think that being quiet and reserved in a large group is normal for an introvert and there is nothing wrong with that. It depends on your comfort level. However, feeling that you are being taken advantage of, or, feeling that you are not being heard is not good for you in the long term as it can build resentment towards others and create insecurities in yourself. I suggest finding creative/other ways to express your unique thoughts and feelings. I find writing novels/short stories and and doing arts and crafts ways to express myself. I also keep a journal to write down my thoughts and feelings. When I write stories, I use scenes and dialogues to express my thoughts/opinions. However, when in a public setting, I learned that if I want to be heard, I have to speak up. It is a life lesson that I had to work on for many, many years. I find that online meetings are a bit easier because I can type my thoughts/opinion down in the chat. I've also learned that having extraverted friends is pretty amazing because I can tell them what I think, and they can broadcast it to everyone else (with permission, of course) without me having to say it myself. For feeling that you are getting taken advantage of, I suggest learning to say 'no' (even when it's super hard.) Saying no to doing things for others, especially when it was service related, is really hard and required a lot of practice. I used to practice what I was going to say in front of a mirror. These were some of my go-to phrases when I felt pressured to do something: 1. "Let me think/pray about it and I'll get back to you. May I send you an email when I've made a decision?" 2. "I would really like to help out with _____, but, I don't have the time right now. Can you ask me again another time?" 3. "Thank you for asking me, however, I don't think that this is my expertise. Maybe ask _____, he/she is great at _____." 4. "I don't feel comfortable doing this on such short notice, so I will have to say no today." 5. "Thank you for asking, I am flattered that you thought of me. But, I can't do that for you right now." I hope these help. I couldn't have learned how to do these without the support of family and friends that seek my thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Since learning how to be more outspoken, I make a point to ask reserved, quiet people their advice, so they're also heard. Good luck and God bless on your journey! Keep your eyes on Jesus.

That's Jackie and Bobby for you. They need to reevaluate their approach. They really rub me the wrong way and they often get basic theology wrong.

Mother Mary, the perfect example of womanhood was not brash and loud. She was the epitome of reserved yet firm, and fully submissive to the will of her Son, as we should all be. Mother Mary, Queen of Good Will, pray for us.

I'm not saying you are judgmental. Please don't take it this way but are cafeteria Catholics that bad though? A lot of people are strongly against judgmental Catholics. Being strict is seen as a bad thing for some reason .

​@@IONov990 A Catholic who is serious about the faith ought to learn as much about the faith as their state in life allows. But specially so in areas of morality which are of grave matter, if a grave matter sin is committed with deliberate consent and knowledge of their sinful character it becomes a mortal sin. A lot of sins against the sixth and ninth commandment are of grave matter. The "Cafeteria Catholics" that I mentioned in concept, do not take the teachings of the Church and those of Jesus seriously enough and commit those sins with full consent even though they know that the Church considers them as serious sins. However this concept of Cafeteria Catholic does not apply to everybody. Many are simply ignorant. Though oftentimes culpably so, they could've looked up on the internet an examination of conscience or something and they did not, or even look up the Catechism in the 10 commandments, ask a priest or whatever. Or other times it is not possible for a person to judge whether they are actually in full consent or not, for instance people with addictions or impaired mental faculties may not be in full consent. Since neither I nor any normal Catholic who does not have the gift of reading souls, one should not generally "Judge" people as actually having committed Mortal sin or not, because one cannot normally know if a person has full knowledge or consent to the sinful deed. However, even if one does not know the gravity of the sinful character of a person, one can recognize actions that are objectively of grave matter and if discovered one can admonish the sinner in charity if given the opportunity. Specially if such person is under one's authority, such as a priest to the faithful or a parent to a child, and preferably correct the person in private unless the sin is public. Admonishing sinners in charity is very different than a person who is filled by pride and self-righteousness and labels people without knowing their interior life. Cafeteria Catholics are really bad, because they are either heretics who obstinately deny the teachings of the Church and it's authority, as the teachings have been protected by the Holy Spirit and such to knowingly deny these definitive teachings is a Mortal Sin. Or on the other way around they know of the mortally sinful character of their actions and choose to do them anyways, such as the people who contracept or cohabitate. However, it is very difficult to judge who is actually a Cafeteria Catholic, or who may be simply be ignorant, or may have an addiction or mental illness... etc. As for myself I don't go around labeling individuals, but generally point out concepts to teach, I didn't judge any individual but rather an unspecified group of people in grave moral error. Do not forget that Christ is very strict in many of His teachings and so is the Church, they expect a minimum and most Catholics are not able or willing to handle even that, which comes at the cost of their own salvation and sometimes that of others who may be seduced by their bad influence. Therefore as children of God we ought to be strict as well, but no more so than Christ of His Church. And exercise prudence and charity when admonishing sinners recognizing in humility of our own individual limitations. To be a devout Catholic you have to believe right and to do right. Developing the virtues as much as you can, it's the only way... You can read the admonitions that Christ says in the gospel, he's strict.

How exactly are women supposed to do that? I never understood what it means to be submissive to a man. In other cultures, it means the man is always right and the wife always agrees with their husband which seems unhealthy.

This is not about men. Or do you also comment on videos encouraging men and tell them to allow their wives to be women?

@@IONov990 (sorry this is long) woman are to submit to the righteousness of their husbands (assuming that their husband is righteous). In turn, husbands are to lay down their lives for their wives (and kids). Men are called to sacrifice for their wives and kids. That means I sacrifice my comfort, my wants and desires, and serve my family. My priorities are to God, to my wife and kids, then to myself. St. Paul says, "husbands love your wives as Christ loves the Church." Jesus said, "I came to serve, not be served." Christ is the model. Therefore, a husband should only ask of his wife to do things that are for the sanctification/holiness of the family. In that case then a wife should oblige. In turn, if a wife makes a request of her husband, he needs to serve the needs of his wife. Oh, also the man is the head of the family. In cases where there is a disagreement between husband and wife in matters of the home, then the husband should take priority so long as that decision is one coming from a place of love, fidelity, and holiness. If a husband is lording his authority over his wife then that is disordered and a wife is under no obligation to follow him.

@@badmoon908 It's not a long lost. It is hard to imagine being submissive as healthy or even common in Christian marriages. Are you a man, woman, or non-binary?

@@IONov990 I don't know what non-binary is. I mean, I know what proponents claim it to be but it doesn't conform to reality or Christian faith. "God created the man and woman, in the beginning he created them." I am a man, married to a beautiful and strong woman (real strength, not loud and obnoxious as Jackie is describing), with three amazing boys who will one day grow up to be men. And, if I do my job right as a father, they will be true men of faith. Being submissive is both a healthy and important part of marriage, especially Christian marriage. Submissiveness is about understanding that the family needs a structure. It's about putting your faith in someone else and humbling yourself. A family is a lot like a business. A business has a boss and subordinates. Being anti-submissive is to be defiant. Imagine if the subordinates at work were defiant to that boss. Would that business succeed? The employees submit to their boss because they want to see their organization succeed so they can continue to earn a living. In a marriage, the wife submits to her husband because she wants him to lead the household and have success in the family. This notion that submission is bad is a falicy of modernity.

So Sherry your saying strong women are loud and bossy smh

@@moonflower6171 sometimes

Same here. I don’t watch them often - this title piqued my curiosity and then I thought “Uh-oh!” I don’t want to be mean, but they can come across like high-schoolers.

@@njejlester1603 Amen to that. At least they're having fun I guess.
