The Clergy have advocated for total respect for women in all fields of endeavor, as they are said to have been created to support men, despite their weaknesses.
The plea was made by the Agona Swedru branch minister of the Samaria Miracle Church, Rev. Emmanuel Adom Kumi Amoah and the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church at Gomoa Benso, Rev. Anim Addae, all in the Central Region.
According to Rev. Adom Kumi Amoah, women were created with special gifts, and can be good ambassadors of the gospel, even as prophets, but noted that sometimes of them abuse these gifts because of positions they attain in society.
He further noted that some of women even exhibits this character in their marriages by trying to lord over their husbands because of a status they have attained, and this he said often brings confusion in their homes.
He has therefore advised women in authority to lead exemplary life as led by Anna and Deborah in the Bible to be able to put their God-given gifts to its proper use.
Meanwhile, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, Rev. Anim Addae has described as insanity, men who have turn their houses into ‘’boxing rings’’ and their wives into ‘’punching bags,’’ beating them at will.
According to him, women are created as partners to play important role both the life of men and the home, and must be respected for that.
Though he admitted that some women can be annoying sometimes, he however stressed that that does not give men the authority to beat their wives as a way of making them become submissive.
He noted that as weaker vessels, women need to be shown love even at that annoying moment, and by so doing they become tamed and begin to show love and respect towards their husbands in return.
He said that is the best way to make marriage homes a better place for the children to live.
