Dear Dr. Bien,
I don't know where to start with a response but, your pastor friend is correct. Read. 1 Cor. 11:9.
Secondly, pls take your friend's statement in context. He was clearly talking about a _married_ woman, not a single. Teresa was not married neither was Kathryn in ministry.
Thirdly, nature itself teaches that a woman's priorities change after marriage -- and especially once she has kids. I can't explain more.
Finally, I pray that you will get happily married. Then, as the wife, you will truly understand what your pastor friend was saying. Let us read your post on this topic a few years into your happy marriage.
Best,
o.
The saying that "A woman has no vision but the vision of her husband" is not correct. A man with a vision is quite aware that he has to marry a woman with a vision (that compliment his vision)and not a vision-less woman. Can two work together except they agree? A man with the mentality that his vision will be his wife's vision is a joker and he is heading for his destruction in marriage. If a woman is not given a vision (that complement the man's vision), she will never be able to be a help mate to her husband because Vision can never be explained but it must be conceived and understood for proper implementation.
For this purpose, God created Adam (male and female) and gave him a vision (assignment). For God called both male and female ADAM (Gen 5:2). For God said, it is not good for a man to be alone; therefore he created a woman from a man as an individual. she was not created as new entity (being) but as the extension of the man to be seen physically by the man rather than being hidden within the man.
On the basis of marital advice, Paul that spoke more about marriage was never married. As many that are wise either through inspiration, teachings from the Holy Spirit (the best teacher), or learning from other marriages can advise on the subject matter and not necessarily the married ones alone.
For every vision given to a man, there is a woman with a vision that compliments that of the man's vision. Never marry a woman without a vision; a woman that will rely on your vision will never assist your vision because she is empty. Marry a virtuous woman (Proverb 31). Shalom
It is obvious to me she didnt get his point of view clearly. I agree with her that a woman has to find her purpose before marriage and function in it but ultimately it has to fit into her husband's purpose. They are one and the same so yes, "a woman has no vision but the vision of her husband" is correct. She couldn't get this perspective because she isn't married yet and that's why I advice people to be careful what they preach for or against. There are some certain areas that only experience will help you understand practically. Theoretical knowledge may be flawed if there hasn't been practicality of it.
The bible is clear in Genesis 2:18 when it said that God made the woman to be a helper for the man. This job description was made before the fall and the curse. This is consummated in a marriage relationship, and aptly implies that the man sets the vision of the family, the wife helps to accomplish it. In our modern civilization, women are advised to discover who their fiancé is during courtship. This discovery includes knowing the man's life goals, ambitions, and vision. A single lady going into marriage must ensure that she is ready and willing to submit herself ( which included her vision and goals) to her husband. I hope the writer will come to terms with this biblical instructions to women when she gets married. My prayer is that she be careful enough to select a husband whose vision will run in concord with hers, as this is the only way she can blend her vision with that of her husband.

I am married for 24 years and praise God for a man who understands that before he found me, Jesus already did and had giving me things to do. He knows I have a life to live and a master that i will render an account to. He love me and believes strongly that my loyalty should be to Jesus first. If all men understand this, it should not be a woman surrendering her vision to that of the husband. It should be about understanding that it is all about Jesus, about God's kingdom. Blending together, caring for one another's fulfillment. Before Apostle Paul encouraged women to submit to their own husbands, he first encouraged husband and wife to submit one to another. Husband should care about what God has called the wife to do and encourage her to do it, just as Joseph encouraged mary to bear the Savior of the world. Had he not heard from God, he would have thrown her out of his life because according to some men, God must consult them before using their wives. Did not God send Adam to sleep while He created Eve, if he was awake, may be he would have told God how to create her. May be like a robot that can be remote controled. We all have a place and our assignment in the house of our father.
its so unfortunate that man became rebbelious to his creator am not married but i think the word of GOD is clear what we only see is people trying to turn the word of GOD to thier own pattern or what they want not interested in what GOD want just imagined if SARAH had her own vision just imagine if the wives of JACOB had thier own vision just imagine if the wife of NOAH had her own vision there are numerous examples in the bible pride has taken over man and man has become rebelious to GOD men are not longer ready to serve GOD as HE WANT but as they want it takes a truly born again man and woman to realise GOD rememeber eve the day she didnt wait for husband to take decision sin entered what i realy realised is that right from the time of eve women had lost the role GOD CREATED them for they are no strugling with mans role and man can never fill the role of women women were created so special women were suppose to be the strenght of the man without the women the man was incomplete
Dr Bien, I'm not sure you are properly balanced in this matter making you unqualified to preach on this issue.I'd advise you'd get proper mentorship in other not to mislead young women.
Seeing a woman carrying out activities that looks good does not mean that she is in tune with God's purpose for her life. But if she gets married she and her husband must have one vision, God will never send them off in separate directions that alone contradicts the Trinity. Imagine Holy spirit with his own agenda, Jesus and the Father. The woman is well loaded and equipped to fulfill the vision with her husband equally. In fact I like to see the woman as the fuel of the vision or having the same function as the Holy spirit of promise. Jesus as I will send you the helper or comfortor
