Mears said: Porn is what breaks up some marriages because men feel they are missing out.

You replied: Wait. You are saying Ronald Reagan was shot again in 1983? I was alive then and I don’t remember any such thing. Do you have a citation?

LOL!!! I am very confused! Are you really logged on?

An amazing rehash of that which those of us taught traditional, scriptural principals have always known.

I am always amazed at how clueless people are today at what marriage is and how it works. The wedding ceremony extravaganzas and the “It’s MY DAY!” focus is the initial indicator people aren’t getting it right. If you are “practicing” it, right there you haven’t got the commitment part down.

Marriage is about two people, a man and a woman, making a lifelong commitment in God’s eyes to create a stable and helpful platform to raise a family, to help one another, love one another, and otherwise work out God’s plan for their lives. The hearts and flowers are a myth. I laugh when I see gays screaming for marriage. They have no idea.

I met a gay couple the other day threatening to break up because the front room of the house was too hot. True.

it’s sad that acknowledging the obvious marks a red letter day in academe, as opposed to the state of denial they function in, making them the ultimate dysfunctional family.

Just to clarify: My original reply was to dragonblustar, not Mears. Dragonblustar has something on her about page that says Reagan was shot in 1983.

In other words, sleeping around before you are married tends to lead to less successful marriages.

Who’d a thunk it.

Is this a Capt Obvious moment? I hope they didn’t use taxpayer money to figure this out.

I have to agree - for me I made a commitment not only in front of God but to Him. I am far more concerned with the keeping of that relationship as well as the one with my wife than just a wife alone! A true belief in the reality of God tends to, mostly, keep me on track in most area of my life! Not that I am any paragon of virtue bit I can imagine how bad I would be without that belief!
