A post showing female Bible study participants trying on their husbands’ shoes has gone viral Twitter. The purpose of the exercise was for women to learn not to take on the role and responsibilities of their husbands, who, depending on the position, are heavier and more onerous than their wives.
“In our ladies’ Bible study, I asked all women to bring a pair of their husband’s shoes to class,” says the author of the post, whose name is withheld. “When they arrived, I asked them to put them on. We spent the rest of the evening wearing shoes that were in most cases way too big for us. We were tripping and tripping over them and they were definitely not comfortable. It was really, really funny!”

Their shoes are not made for us. The load they have to carry is heavy. They are responsible for our family in ways we will never truly understand.
So let’s stop trying to wear our husbands’ shoes. Instead, let us pray for them, encourage them, and let them be the men God called them and created them to be.
