The Lord has since completely changed my outlook. Not only do I enjoy being with my family, but I also enjoy playing with my brothers. They have been so supportive, cheering and encourage me when I have made mistakes. This has really brought me closer to my brothers, and it has help to unite my family. We have had many family games together and countless discussions.

Strange as it may seem, I actually practice femininity by submitting to my brothers’ interests. It was not difficult for me, with the Lord’s help, but it was necessary because it helped unite my family in a common interest. Families can easily split into groups, each following their own interests. But families are more united if all its members share common interests. As girls practicing femininity, we must accept others’ interests.

Furthermore, this is good practice in case we marry. While we are sure to share some common interests with our husband, they will probably have interests which we may not even have considered before. By accustoming ourselves to adapting to the interest of others, we will be prepared for such a situation.

It would not only help unite your family, but also help you practice femininity, if you accept your brothers’ interests. Do not think of this as a painful duty. As I found, you might enjoy it more than you think!
