Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Men Should Respect Women

What Eldress Galaktia teaches us about the relationship of men and women

 

The Eldress addresses young people. 

 

«You should respect your wives. If you don’t feel love, they will suffer and think that they are a means for your enjoyment, and they will feel terrible themselves... A woman wants love to be satisfied with her husband. She has a more delicate heart because she will raise children, and her condition is sensitive. She has tenderness. She doesn't want ribaldries and no dignities. That's why she gets hurt when they treat her like a ‘piece of meat’ and don’t care about her feelings.»

 

From the book "H Οσία Γερόντισσα Γαλακτία της Κρήτης ", in the Greek language.
