You shouldn‘t marry any man who would be intimidated by a Porsche, be cause that would mean the man is insecure. It would mean that the man equates his position with what he owns.

(God may use women in leadership, also, but this is one of the primary purposes of the male. For more on wom en in leadership, please refer to my book Understanding the Purpose and Power of Woman. )
