Why Did God Make Women

Before I got married, I sat around with a few of my best friends and we figured out part of why God made women.  It really wasn’t rocket science, as a-matter-of-fact by our reckoning if we didn’t have women we would not have rockets, cars, electricity, houses or probably even fire.  Here is how our theory goes:

If there were just men on this planet, we would still be living in caves and eating raw meat.  I mean, I’m good with that!

If it weren’t for meeting the woman that I married, I would probably be on the road travelling, living each day as it comes and really not very concerned about the next day.  After being released from the military, I did this for a while and really enjoyed it. 

Then after I met my future wife, I started thinking that I needed to finish school, get a job, buy a house, provide for the kids, etc.  It really was a life changer!  Now don’t take me wrong, it was a good change, but without women, would we be where we are today?  I don’t think so. 

There is a reason that God gave us women.  God made man and at first He let us be.  Then when God came back to check on us later, he realized that we didn’t grow or develop and that we were not making use of the resources that he had provided us and that something was missing.  That is when he made women!  Women motivated us.  It started simple at first, with words so that we could communicate.  Before women, men were probably content with just grunting and pointing.  Then, once women had us communicating, she was able to talk to us and ask questions like, “It’s cold in here, why can’t we build a fire?”  “The neighbors are cooking their food, doesn’t it smell good?”  “I want a fur coat!”  Anyway, you get the picture.

This process continued until we had houses, running water and now electricity.  It was so effective that it has actually started to self-perpetuate itself.  Now days, some men want the newest big screen TV to watch their football games on.  They want a fast car or maybe a boat.

While I’m a little different than most men, I don’t care about TV or a lot of fancy things.  I love camping in the mountains and the swamp and generally being out in the open most of the time.  However, I do see the advantage of having houses.  Houses are especially important as I get older.  Sometimes it does get cold and we can’t all live in a hammock on a beach in the tropics.  (I tried this once, it was nice.)  The caves would be really crowded now days too.  I think housing is probably what started the first wars.  Of course we wouldn’t have overcrowding if there were only men.    Well, I didn’t say that we figured it all out.  Guess that God may have another plan for us.
