I was referring to a person who posted a few times on FR about the Red Pill stuff and he took it to the extreme and what he described was emotionally and physically abusive to women.

Those were his words about falling asleep with a smile on her face.

The mods dealt with it. His comments were deleted and the account banned.

I’m with you on that one.

GOD certainly doesn’t cut men any slack in the moral purity department with the boys will be boys attitude.

In the OT the penalty for any sex outside of marriage was death.

With one exception.

That was if two virgins had sex. Then they were considered married. They HAD to get married to each other.

I am very saddened for you. It sounds like God greatly blessed you and your husband.

I am glad you had a great man in your life and that you were there for him, too. I have no doubt he thought the same of you.

If you decide to remain single, may God grant you peace and protect you. If God brings another into your life, may He bring another great companion.

Thank you for your witness to others. As you can tell from this thread, the world needs more healthy people in healthy relationships.

Not my job.

This is the job

Understand Our True Vocation. For those of us blessed to be married and have children, we must recognize that helping our families get to heaven and being good husbands and fathers—not our business careers—is our real vocation. Ask yourself: “Is my work serving my family? Or is my family serving my work?” - See more at: http://thosecatholicmen.com/articles/a-checklist-for-catholic-dads/#sthash.3wzFUgZE.dpuf

When my wife and I were going through marriage preparation our mentor couple said something to us that we have never forgotten, “your primary role in marriage is to help one another to heaven.” It was a striking comment that seems so obvious now, but at that time, it was a completely new thought.

I appreciate that in men and women. I am old enough to remember when women normally didn’t use coarse language and men were more careful with their speech in the presence of a woman or of an older relative.

“I think you have hit on a HUGE factor there. The whole dating scene encourages deceit.

You CANNOT get to know someone, what they are really like, from simply going out on dates where you are on your best behavior, look your best, don't encounter any real life situations that show how the other person is going to react, etc.”

I have always maintained this and insisted upon marrying someone whom I felt was a great friend with a good heart and mind. Thankfully, we all can ensure this is the basis of our marriage IF we patiently search and wait. Of course, it took me several decades to find that person.

Sex before marriage defiles both sexes, equally.

Exactly.

Yes. God does not differentiate between men and women in terms of morality.

“But it’s interesting how when women do it, it’s feminism and evil and destroying (fill in the blank) but when men do it, it’s justified.”

You don’t completely understand what you are talking about. The MGTOW approach is often simply staying away from women—not bedding them at all. There are some that do sleep around without commitment, but that is a definite minority.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Going_Their_Own_Way

Feminists are either gay or heterosexual women who seek to dominate and use men—without exception.

Mercedes

The most basic drives are for sex in a man and for security for herself and her children in a woman. Yes the guy in nice clothes and a Mercedes is better looking than the fellow in a 10 year old pickup truck with an off color dented fender. He appears to be better able to provide for a wife and children. A man's notion of good looks is generally based on good health signals. In civilization there are other considerations more and more but those two things are the foundation of it all. Being cynical about it is nonconstructive.

Real feminists believe in science and the production of babies industrially from vats, if they recognize that there have to be babies to avoid a truly bleak old age. Real feminism is the ultimate progenitor of transsexualism which is displacing women from sports. Feminists claim to support it all but it wonders me how they really feel about it.

He was my Life outside of the Lord, and yes our feelings were mutual. Our Family is a very Precious one, Children and Grandchildren following the Lord also. We added on to our home 10 years ago and made us a private apartment, and Our oldest Daughter and her Family moved in with us, so He really made plans to have Me taken care of. Oldest Granddaughter and her Husband are expecting in August and just live a few miles away. The other Grandchildren are in and out alllll the time, other Daughter and Husband are in and out also. So Iam Truly Blessed, but We do miss him greatly He was a Joy to be around. He put good stuff in us and doing are best to make Him proud. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus , we live in wicked times.

>And that men are to treat their wives as they treat their own bodies, which they don’t abuse but nurture and care for.

Is it abuse when a child is spanked by it’s father? It is not.

>There’s a back and forth dynamic there and men are responsible to lead and have abdicated that role.

The state has made it illegal for men to lead through normal means. How can you twist what the men with guns force husbands to do into all men abdicating the role? Men have no choice in this age.

>Or they turn into little petty tyrants in the home, demanding submission and the wife walks around on eggshells hoping to not tick him off so he doesn’t blow a gasket at her.

I’ve never seen this type of relationship in real life. I suspect it doesn’t exist.

>It’s a rare couple I’ve met who are so compatible that they say they don’t have any problems.

There are few problems when people assume the correct roles. I’ve looked at tons of arranged marriages where compatibility was even considered before the people where hitched and as long as people assumed the correct roles the marriages was excellent.

>The rest who stay together are just mature enough to have figured out how to work through it TOGETHER.

My parents marriage got a hundred times better when my mother just decided to submit and obey. My Dad didn’t change at all nor did they work through anything. She assume the role God gave her and things started functioning better. My Father naturally become more dominate and commanding as he no longer had to fight my Mother.

>Not he commands and she submits.

Do you think command is easy? Command is hell. All the responsibility for the outcomes sits on your shoulders and you have to make good decisions that work out for everyone. It’s not fun. But it’s the role God has given to man just as it’s the women’s role to submit and obey her husband. Outside of these roles is the death of a marriage.

You obviously didn’t read what I wrote.

I said it is not my job to marry some slut who got knocked up by some alpha that she screwed when she was better looking and had more to offer.

If I don’t marry one of them, then its not my family. My family is my boys, and I will protect them from the Grade-A BS this society spews out, whether it is spewed by gynocentric TradConartists or gynocentric feminazis.

The best choice a man can make nowadays is not to get married.

Your religious leader Paul even just about said as much and that was BEFORE feminism, 2000 years ago.

eye eye ii The Islamic Immigrant

is the solution for modern American women.
American women have all the marriage rights.
That meets up with Sharia rights, all male.

If an II grabs the American woman, she protests, the II slaps her down.

Deep dark Somali meets blue eyed blonde woman,
sometimes for gang rape, sometimes marriage.
