For those who have been reading Babylon Sisters , here are a few questions to discuss.
1. “There is a theory,” she said, slowly, “that women’s romantic relationships with men are totally shaped by their fathers. If it’s a bad relationship, those women will seek out men who are like the father over and over in order to see if they can resolve issues that began in early childhood.” (p. 18) Do you think there’s any truth to this theory? If so, is there anything women with less than positive relationships with their fathers can do to break the cycle?
2.“My generation is still struggling to find the balance between love and freedom, sex and romance, family and career. Sometimes we get it right, but more often, we don’t.” (p. 21) How do you feel about Catherine’s observation that her generation is “still struggling” with these important questions? Is this struggle a challenge in your own life? How do you think women address these questions in their daily lives, personally and professionally?

1. I cant really speak from personal experience on this question, I was raised without a father, but I do belive that the theory is true that women tend to gravitate towards men who are like their fathers. The bond between father and daughter is something to behold. I look at the relationship between my daughter and my husband and I see how they are together and I can just see her looking for a man to treat her with such care. He is soooo nurturing to her, I have tell her sometimes to get off my man..LOL.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, there are so many people struggling right now , they truly dont know their purpose in life, but i feel that many are looking in all the wrong places. I found myself struggling one day but then I turned to Jesus and through him I have found my purpose!!! Not saying that I still dont struggle with certain things , and fall off but HE always brings me back!
