•PSYCHOLOGY – DIFFERENCES AND COPLIMENTARITY

Psychological differences

The special way of perceiving the world of man and woman,

and the spontaneous interests of the sexes are different.

Example - women are more interested in general (not exclusively)

in fashion, social relations, children, emotions, pets

Example - men are more interested in general

in psycho-motor skills, sports, action themes,

strategies and rational planning (not exclusively)

These traits are not merely the result of cultural tendencies,

though they may be influenced by them.

Psychological Complimentarity

Both perspectives

or world views

compliment

each other.

Together they

are better

prepared

for facing

the world.

The sexes help complete each other, and theirintímate partnership makes them stronger and more perfect.

Human nature is reflected not just in the male,

nor in the female, but in the combination of both sexes.

The different psychological traits of man and woman, compliment

each other in the practical organization of the habitat

they also help in the rearing of children

Psychological

studies have shown

the importance of

the mother

and father

in different stages

of development

and growth

of the children

These differences are related to nature

Sources of these differences

Differences related

to the body,

to the anatomy

to the physiological

and hormonal

particularities

of each sex.

just as the human spirit, lives within the body,

Inseparably. - Separation results in death

So the body, including it’s sex,

influences the temperament and character,

Historically the Social roles of male

and female have been differentiated

These differences between male and female

are related to social functions

Historically the men were the hunters,

who spent more time away from the home

The women bear new life into the world,

and by maternal instinct care for the children.

They take charge of the home, the preparation of food etc.

Although modern advanced societies can take care of the children,

there is a certain convenience that the women take first hand

in it, especially when they are younger

In general

they are

better equipped

by nature,

(with qualities

like attending to

and caring

for details,

and social relations).

In the case of mothers, it’s called “maternal instinct”

Gender theory, denies these differences, reducing them all to constructions

of society, ignoring their relation to nature, and try to counteract them

in order to achieve the liberation of woman and the equality of the sexes.

Ultimately they strive to separate sex

from child-bearing

and separate it from child-rearing

And even separate sex

from man-woman

relationships

They ignore the intímate nature of sexuality,

claiming to dominate it and use it at will, purely for pleasure

completely removed from it’s anthropological context

Yet God’s plan for sex, inscribed in human nature,

is for the man and woman to form a community of love,

a family wherein he deposits the greatest gift of new life.
