On Being a Help Meet--Pearl

You are, by nature, equipped in every way to be your man's helper.

You were created to make him complete, not to seek personal fulfillment parallel to him.

When you are a help meet to your husband, you are a helper a helper to Christ, for God commissioned man for a purpose an dgave him a woman to assist in fulfilling that divine calling.

For man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1 Corinthians 11:8-9

To covet his role of leadership is to covet something that will not make God, you, or him happy. It is not a matter of whether or not you can do a job better than he; it is a matter of doing what you were 'designed' to do. It is far better that the job be done poorly by your husband that to be done well by you. Your excellence as a help meet to him may very well be God's plan for improving his leadership role in the family.
