2-013 Debating what a strong woman really is and maybe what it SHOULD be...

The Ruins on Stone Hill (Heroes of Ravenford Book 1) by F P Spirit
https://www.amazon.com/Ruins-Stone-Hill-Heroes-Ravenford-ebook/dp/B00L5JN5SE

Women initiate divorce 69% of the time. This figure shoots up to 90% for college-educated women. (Murphy, 2019)
Female couples made up 72% of same-sex divorces in 2019. (Marr, 2020)
https://financesonline.com/divorce-statistics/#:~:text=Divorce%20Rate%20by%20Gender%201%20Women%20initiate%20divorce,and%206.8%20years%20for%20women.%20...%20More%20items

Couples who have been living together prior to marriage face a 40% increase in the likelihood of divorce. (GillespieShields, 2020)

The lack of commitment is the leading cause of divorces, with 75% of couples citing it as the reason for their separation. (Shaw, 2019)

Father absence stats:
https://www.fatherhood.org/father-absence-statistic

In 2011, 44% of children in homes headed by a single mother were living in poverty. Just 12% of children in married-couple families were living in poverty. (U.S. Census Bureau)

75% of rapists are motivated by displaced anger that is associated with feelings of abandonment that involves their father. (U.S. Department of Justice)

The median income for a household with a single mother is $35,400. The median income for a home with a married couple raising their children is $85,300 in the United States. For single dads, 39% of households had a family income which was $50,000 or more. 44% of single dads were divorced, while only 33% had never married. (U.S. Census Bureau) Around 50% of single mothers have never married. 29% are divorced. Only 1 in 5 are either separated or widowed.

Even in homes with fathers, the modern dad spends only 8 hours per week on child care, which is 6 hours less than the modern mom. On the other hand, 43% of the modern dad’s time is spent with paid work, compared to 25% of the time for the modern mom. Dads are spending 3 times more time with their kids than dads did in 1965. (Pew Research)

On a scale of 1-10, how often do you count your accomplishments?

Several years ago when a friend exasperatedly pointed out all the things I had done through the year. I had been complaining about all the things I HADN'T done... 

Counting blessings is more than just gifts… it’s a blessing to be able to do even small things.

Whether you're busy with little'ns or suffering physical limitation, you do things. Even if it's no more than encouraging others with a phone call, text or kind comment on social media.

You are an amazing blessing! Count the little things today so you can start to feel it in your heart.

You can (and probably do) accomplish so much more than you think.
