Mary Cassian remembers when a wife confided this about her husband.

I have made him into what I wanted him to be, and now I don't like him.

And found that her husband had gotten passive and was just spineless.

And she began to despise the very thing that she had wanted him to be because she was emasculating

him. She was taking away all the things that defined him as a male. Instead of supporting that

and encouraging his manhood, she was emasculating him. And then when he was emasculated, she was not

attracted to him anymore.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss. It's Tuesday, June 3rd. Here's Nancy.

Today we're going to try and solve the eighth wonder of the world.

What is a woman?

And while we're at it, we're going to talk some about what is a man and how can we as women

encourage women to be women and men

to be men. And is there really a difference? Does it matter? And how do we celebrate and maximize

those differences in a godly way? Our guest is my friend Mary Cassian from north of the border.

Mary is a Canadian. She is a wife. She has three teenage

sons. She's been with us before on Revive Our Hearts, and she has a great understanding of the

word of God and the ways of God, and also has done a lot of study in the history and the development

of feminist thinking and ideology.

So I'm so thankful, Mary, that you've been willing and able to join us this week on Revive Our Hearts.

Thanks, Nancy.

Now, Mary, when I think of you, I think of a woman who is truly womanly.

You are feminine in the best senses of that word, I think.
