The genius of a woman
Keywords:
Key-words: woman, dignityAbstract
The Bible shows the uniqueness of a woman. It is Eve who leads Adam out of loneliness. It is the woman who is able to help a man to become like God, capable of building lasting relationships, and to learn to love in a pure, faithful, responsible and fruitful way. The uniqueness of a woman is her ability to be a mother. The woman as a wife and a mother most visibly reveals her genius, i.e. her unique - in comparison to men - moral, religious, social and emotional sensitivity as well as ability to empathize, make heroic sacrifices and love in a pure, disinterested and irrevocable way. A mature woman knows that her greatest defender is Jesus Christ. She is aware of her exceptional dignity. She can take care of her spiritual development, aristocratic behavior and external beauty. Unlike feminists, she knows that men and women can be happy together.
