I recently listened to the recording of "How to find the right one." Throughout the pastor's sermon, I kept hearing all the things women may do to make a relationship an unhealthy or a disfunctional one. It was hard to listen to because I kept thinking, how can these statements be phrased differently in order to empower women? We are ALL imperfect, however, I think there was a evident bias in this towards women being the "problem" in healthy relationships versus keeping both partners accountable for their actions towards healing. How can we push our community to see beyond stereotypes about women and encourage each other to LISTEN to our stories and the possible pain behind them? I agreed with the points of this sermon, but I did think these areas that I pointed out could have had a more thoughful approach.
