I recently watched a movie (Up in the Air) and TV show (The Office) that show a married woman cheating with a single man. In these scenarios the married woman seemed more conflicted about her cheating than when married men cheat with single women. Her commitment to her husband/family seemed more serious than the standard portrayal of cheating men.
Why is this so? My diagnosis: while mothers feel a deep commitment to family (especially kids) many men in our culture (inside and outside the church) have lost sight of what it means to be faithful. God is the ultimate faithful father and yet we Christians have left our culture to display their weak, worldly version of faithfulness. This Mother’s Day (and every day) it’s time to man up and be faithful!
About Me
- PMinDC
- From Sydney, Australia, married to a lovely American, living in Washington DC, I work for a Native organization and attend a multi-ethnic church in Nothern Virginia. Having lived in the U.S. for almost a decade, I call Tucson, AZ and Davis, CA my 'American home-towns' but Sydney (and Australia in general) is still a very special place to me. This blog is about reflecting on life as an alien (spiritually and by virtue of my immigration status) and God’s call that believers in Jesus be his ambassadors.
