Is a Daughter to be a Helpmeet to her Father?

A small group of incendiary bloggers made the ridiculous claim that Stacy believes daughters are to be "helpmeets" to their fathers. This assertion, like so many others from this particular group, is completely false.

Stacy responded to this question on her blog in August of 2007:

Stacy's Response:

Nowhere in Scripture does the Bible call a daughter her father’s helpmeet. At Creation, “The LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:18, KJV)

The wife was to be her husband’s helper and he would not be complete without her. They would need one another, but she would follow his lead as they both glorified God and took dominion together. (Genesis 1:28) The fact that she “completed” her husband refers to their oneness – a beautiful and unique relationship.
