Having a wife like Tom Hanks doesn't hurt either.“heart throb”???????LOL. He was never that. But he was an actor with credibility.....but..Hanks was toast after that ridiculous “The Da Vinci Code ‘ movie. Hanks sold OUT on that one. Bummer for him.
Well, no. Most families find that one or more of the partners remaining a virgin after marriage is not conducive to martial bliss..... 8<)
Not marital blush.
“Flee from fornication” is practical wisdom and has been for thousands of years. No surprise.
i wouldn’t think so, I mean after marriage no sex sounds a bit mundane, what about having kids, the two things really do sorta work together.
Doesn't anybody do basic fact checking today? Tom Hanks is 54.
Having a wife like Tom Hanks doesn't hurt either.Of course virgins have better marriages. They have practiced sexual self-discipline, so they are better able to maintain fidelity in marriage. And they have spent time actually getting to know one another.
I’ve always thought he had pig eyes. Not that many women would care.
Hanks started out as a comedian and many comics become jokesters because they aren’t physically attractive so they have to find another way to meet girls.
I do wonder sometimes if Hanks would be a liberal Democrat if it weren’t for Hollywood. He’s pro-military, pro-U.S.and apparently faithful to his wife. Those are not typical liberal Democrat positions but I think Hanks knows je jas to be liberal to work in Hollywood (see Gibson, Mel) so like any good actor he plays the role of the liberal to keep the leftist loonies off his back and insure he can continue to make movies.
Is it only me, or does the ultra liberal, Obama loving Tom Hanks sound a little conservative on this?
Ask bin Laden’s 72 virgins. ;)
Tom Hanks is 46?
When was this written?
I remember his dressing up like a girl when I was in high school.
He has to be older than me.
Just looked him up.
Dude is 54. Way older than me.
If the question is indeed whether virgins have happier marriages, then, with qualifications to the answer, I am inclined to say “yes”. If they are firmly committed to monogamy, and to the relationship between husband and wife, yes. The folks who are more interested in collecting stories of this or that conquest will find faithful marriage a chore or something of no appeal to them, I fear.
If Mr. Hanks and his wife have a long and happy marriage, that’s great. We could, as a civilization, stand much more of that. I no longer watch his movies, though. As others here have noted more eloquently than I can, after Da Vinci Code, ffft. And it will never change. So, kudos for the long marriage, zip for the ups and downs of making sometimes crappy movies.
The real answer may be that the best spouses are people who are the least obsessive-compulsive. Someone who can't control his or her sexual urges before marriage may be a bad spouse because he/she can't make the tough decisions to control sexual or any other urges in general. However, a person who has the same obsessive-compulsive tendencies but remains a virgin for religious reasons is still likely to be a bad spouse because those personality traits will come out in other areas during the marriage. The right answer is to strike a positive balance in all things. Abstaining until marriage for religious reasons is fine, but someone who abstains and knows how to strike life's balances will be a good spouse while someone who abstains but still doesn't understand balances will be a bad spouse.
Tom Hanks is a heartthrob? I guess I must have missed that memo.
