Outline
We must understand the struggles first before we can find the solution. 我們必須要先了解挑戰是什麼，才能找到克服的辦法
Source of Struggle: Women want to control, but ended up being dominate over.
Key to overcome the struggle for women: Willingly let go of control for our loved ones because God has His arrangement. 自願地放手，因為上帝自有安排
Source of Struggle: Unable to rest, work has become a source of wearisome existence. 勞苦，工作不得安息
Key to overcome the struggle: Instead of dominating over the wives to make her submit, attend to her need even if it involves walking the extra mile because she is worth it. 與其用大男人的方式使太太順服，不如滿足太太的需要，就算這代表著要多走一里路，因為她值得
