Besides, my brothers are quite a catch—I’d marry them too, in a heartbeat, if I could find a duplicate.<BR/><BR/>Joanna was the one who would have gotten married, had she lived. I was focusing on education and trying to figure out this headship thing, before welding myself to it—from whence came the “I will not marry” declarations. Also, my strong personality doesn’t lend itself well to getting married to a Mennonite—I’ve got command and confidence near the top. And Joanna likely did too. To most, somehow that translates directly into rebellion against male headship. I don’t agree. There was a phrase they used for us—they sort of shook their heads wearing a little smirky smile on their face, saying “those Miller girls—sie brachen som mann fu sie nuna heva.” They need quite a man to hold them down. My suggestion is—if one does not want a woman to strengthen her “command” trait—one should not put them in charge of large groups of children.espíritu pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483308467615005496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12679107.post-1155034050192543612006-08-08T05:47:00.000-05:002006-08-08T05:47:00.000-05:00So you have at least 2 married brothers now?
