A note from James Russell Lingerfelt: When either sex proudly proclaims that the opposite sex isn’t needed, I hear bitterness rather than objective reasoning. I find it interesting that many people ignore the fact that we’re wired to share life with others, whether that be a romantic or platonic relationship.

Every woman, just as every man, is completely different. And each will believe and say different things based on which stage they are in their journey. Everyone is just trying to figure out the best way to live in this life. Without guidance, we’re as vulnerable as children.

If you are a young woman struggling with the beliefs expressed in this article, may I suggest you consult grandmothers who have proven their good characters and wisdom.

Nevertheless, an article worth reading.
