Paul's parting instructions in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 apply equally to men and women. The etymology of the word andrizesthe (from andrizomai) in 1 Corinthians 16:13 is about being manly, but the word is typically used to mean courage or valour (a particularly Greek virtue.) The cognate noun andreia is used in Proverbs 12:4 and 31:10 of the Septuagint for virtuous women.
Both men and women should be strong and tender. Both men and women should support and care for each other.
Marg I realize that you share a different viewpoint regarding how scripture defines the roles of men and women. One day, when we all sit at His feet I'm sure that we will understand many misconceptions that we all had while walking on this dustball. My caution is to not let that difference in viewpoint blind you to the benefit of the guys like MacDonald, or Chandler etc. to speak specifically to men and call them to a deeper walk with God.
Give your husband time and be thankful for the man that the Lord has blessed you with. Don't try to change him with words but remain silent and pray hard. God will fight your battle for you.
I wish my husband was like that. I try to cut to the chase and he interrupts me to ask the details which are not part of the point and then it takes me time to get to the point!
Both men and women should be strong and tender. Both men and women should support and care for each other.
Blessings!
