THE CULTURAL WAY FOR A MAN TO OPEN A DOOR FOR A LADY IS A DISPLAY OF THE BIBLICAL MALE AND FEMALE ROLES. THE BIBLE TEACHES THE MAN IS TO BE AS CHRIST AND THE WOMAN AS THE CHURCH. (EPH. 5:22-29) THE MAN IS TO PROTECT AND GIVE UP HIS LIFE TO THE WOMAN AS JESUS DID ON THE CROSS. THE WOMAN, IN TURN IS TO SUBMIT TO HIM AS THE BIBLE TEACHES CHRISTIANS OBEY JESUS. AS THE MAN IS TO BE THE PROTECTOR, HE OPENS THE DOOR. THIS ALLOWS HIM TO ENSURE THE SAFE PASSAGE WAY FOR THE FEMALE ACROSS THE THRESHOLD. THE WOMAN, AS TO BE THE SUBMISSIVE PERSON, ALLOWS THE MAN TO PROTECT HER PASSAGEWAY. ANY WOMAN WHO HAS CAUGHT THEIR HEEL ON A CLOSING DOOR, WILL AGREE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
