Nothing makes me want to shudder more than women who feel they are their husbands servants, there to do his bidding and calling.
Yes serving is a God given gift, but in His order, not as a skivvy that is forced to obey.
Marriage is about two people of opposite sexes uniting as one, both reflecting the Image and Glory of God, formed for different aspects, but just as important ones, serving each other out of love for God.

yes, and no... men and women should both serve each other in love... but men and women are also different.. they have different roles in the family. As Paul says a woman is to submit and respect.. and a man is to lead and love His wife as Christ does the church...
to me it always seemed the man's job was harder..
it is aggravating to some degree though that people put "chores" where they shouldn't be.. the Bible doesn't say "women must clean the house" .. a man can lead and still do the work of a servant.. in fact that is what he should do... it is a man's job to lead his family and that includes making sure "chores" get done... (not by making her do them)
in my household, I do more work that her... and I don't hold it against her...
.. well, not all the time anyway.. hehe..
