The DNA of the Mother is Stronger than the DNA of the Father

"We inherit more genes from our maternal side. That's because it's the egg, not the sperm, that hands down all of the mitochondrial DNA. In addition, the W chromosome has more genes."

Allison Aubrey (Weekly Dose of Wonder)

Does anyone else find this interesting? I sure do as I ponder that Mary the mother of Jesus Christ was chosen to give birth, coming from the line of David.

I find it interesting that in our culture often the Father is preferred over the Mother merely for being the Father when it is the Mother who supplies most of what the child needs.

I am a big fan of loving both parents, just because one is the leader does not make him better or even best, it is his function in the family a different role from the mother but neither role is superior to the other, they both matter and they both count.

When mother and father obey the roles given them by God in the Bible the family is full of love, respect and dedication to the cause of raising up a godly seed.

Malachi 2:15 "

"But not one has done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And why the one? He was seeking a godly offspring. Be careful then about your spirit, and see that none of you deals treacherously against the wife of your youth."

A culture that deals disrespectfully toward the mother is a pagan culture orchestrated by the devil himself.

1 Peter 3:7 "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered."

I know this may be a hard pill to swallow but we live in a paganistic culture now in which men disrespect women, mistreat them, use them and abuse them. A man may say; "but the women are acting badly too," yes, however as the leader of the home the men are expected to be the example, they lead by their own example. They are to obey God and leave their wives to God to judge.

If a man acts as he should toward his wife according to the Bible he may find her acting differently merely because of the love she feels emanating from him. We can always blame the other one but it is best to look at ourselves and our own responses evaluating them to see if we are doing what God said to do. Most men and women are not obeying God, they are following their feelings and it has become a disaster for marriages.

Look to Christ and His Word for instructions not what the rest of the culture is doing and especially not in over-the-top reactions to things. We ought never to "react" we are to respond in a godly way.

We can only know what that way is if we are seeking Christ and reading His Word. Ask God to use the Word to change you and it might surprise you what will happen.
