Boys Versus Girls...

So have you ever noticed how from the little wee ages of toddler-hood up to adulthood we all have certain "roles" we play? Have you ever thought about how from day one we almost automatically knew that women did certain things and men did certain things. When I was growing up and would play house with my brothers and sisters, the girls were either the mom, school teacher, child, or pet. Meanwhile, if my brothers decided to play they were the father, brother, or pet. There were just certain roles they couldn't play and there were certain roles we didn't play. Thinking about it, my parents never came up with those "rules", it was just something we came up on our own probably through observation.

Who we are has a huge effect on what we become. Gender does matter. In The Family: A Proclamation to the World it specifically talks about the importance and roles of each gender. Who we are has been who we are even before we came to this earth! I believe these differences are so important that even children pick up on them from a young age!

"I believe we can learn so much from children." I completely agree with Jimmy on this! As boys and girls we are different and we are suppose to be different. We all maybe different (speaking of gender terms) but when we come together ( through marriage) great things happen. We can learn from each other and work together to become the "perfect" parents for their children (when that time comes). All the different tendencies we have in each gender can come together to us become the best parents we can be.
