What the woman wants is the will of God – but how can Christians deal with the divine power of women?

Last Updated on February 20, 2026 by pg@petergamma.org

“Ce que femme veut, Dieu le veut” is a French proverb

This proverb states that a woman always gets what she wants. It suggests that a woman’s will is so strong that it ultimately prevails and is even compared to a kind of divine will, rendering any resistance futile. It’s often used in a lighthearted or humorous context to emphasize women’s determination or perseverance. Although it’s a secular proverb, it plays on the idea that a woman’s desire is ultimately fulfilled, just as “God’s will” is supposedly fulfilled. In short, this proverb isn’t a theological doctrine but a folk expression that highlights the power of female desire. So this is supposed to be lighthearted and humorous? Not for me, personally.

And didn’t Jesus Christ struggle with being tempted by a woman in the desert?

Yet this woman demanded that Jesus relinquish his power and divinity and submit to her without question. My advisor regarding women was an Iranian who said he was addicted to smoking weed, spending money, and women. “Only what the woman wants,” was his motto. And always make it perfectly clear what you want. Something like, “I’d come to you right now and have sex with you.” So, I tested it, and it works. But who can keep that up in the long run? Doesn’t it turn us men into little, mindless children, slaves to women? There are men who will do anything for a woman. Maybe rich men who’ve sold their souls and now buy the woman they like. Yes, those rich men exist. But I’m not one of them, and I never want to be. Yes, I too sometimes do anything for a woman. But only sometimes. Otherwise, I just feel powerless. And who likes being powerless? Yes, there are moments when I gladly submit to a woman’s will and do anything for her. And these are the moments when I would immediately go with a woman to have sex with her. My father died very early, and I was strongly influenced by my mother’s Christian upbringing. Statements like, “I would go with a woman right now to have sex with her,” weren’t part of our family’s vocabulary. But I’m trying to address a blind spot in my own awareness here. So, for a Christian like me, the magic formula for dealing with a woman’s divine power is to only do what she wants, to adopt the attitude that we would immediately go with her to have sex with her, and to communicate this to her unequivocally. Furthermore, it includes doing everything she wants and doing everything for her. And it also includes letting go of the woman, letting go of everything completely, in order to ultimately relinquish control to her. So, for a Christian like me, the magic formula for dealing with a woman’s divine power is to only do what she wants, to adopt the attitude that we would immediately go with her to have sex with her, and to communicate this to her unambiguously.

But didn’t Brian Adams already sing about this very powerfully: “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”?

But this can also cause suffering for men. My Iranian advisor on women’s issues once said he was addicted to women. And isn’t addiction also a form of suffering? And Brian Adams says in the video above that he lies for a woman and dies for a woman. If Brian Adams lies for a woman, is he trying to manipulate her? And doesn’t Brian Adams also manipulate us when he says he’ll die for a woman? Because Brian Adams didn’t die for a woman; no, he’s still alive today. But there’s also advice on women’s issues from In Ashton, another musician, who says, “Forget Your Head.” And In Ashton’s “Forget Your Head” is also about a woman. But In Ashton’s advice is directed at a woman. So, this is about women, and are they always rational? And isn’t reason just a hindrance when it comes to women? And if a woman is looking for a Brian Adams, why not be a Brian Adams for her? But to continue this line of thought, women have also caused me suffering when I did everything for a woman. But that also caused me suffering. And I discussed this suffering with a therapist. And he said, “Don’t you feel like you’re stuck to this woman like tree bark?” And this statement from the therapist was very helpful for me personally in breaking free from a woman.

And what about women and Christian values? How great is their compassion when they cause suffering in men? And isn’t compassion something very important for people who cultivate Christian values? “What a woman wants is God’s will.” This statement is neither theological nor Christian. “What a woman wants is God’s will”—that sometimes applies to me too. But in the long run, it only works if the woman’s will is identical to God’s will. But I haven’t yet found the woman for whom that’s always true.

But I am looking for a partner. How could I not if I meet so many woman in the city of Zurich on a daily basis which are exactly my type?

So I stick to the magic formula I’ve found for myself. And that is, to only do what the woman wants. To adopt the attitude that I would immediately go with her to have sex with her, and to communicate that clearly to her without being vulgar. This also includes showing interest in the woman you like. And doesn’t that automatically make you do everything for her? My magic formula also includes letting go and allowing the woman to control what happens. And if all of this happens in a loving and compassionate way, couldn’t what I’m writing here also be a magic formula for Christians? A magic formula for Christians who are looking for a way to deal with the divine power of women.
