As was suggested, pray for your wife. I prayed for my son’s wife since he was born and now I pray for my grandchildren who are not yet born. No sex before marriage either. Keep God on the throne of your lives. Follow in His steps, gear up for Satan’s attacks to rip you both apart, and thank Him for all you have.

Proverbs 3

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your body
And refreshment to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
12 For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Satanic indeed.

It’s probably your smile too. “I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad”.

Why would men get married? There are too many pitfalls compared to even 20 years ago. The legal system is corrupt and in some states, punitive to men even when they have don't nothing wrong (MA, for example). Why wouldn't MGTOW?

A good book out in the last year or two is "Men on Strike".

Just love that one: “date someone your own age”, after frittering away their 20s and early 30s riding the **** carousel. Never realizing that the day “the wall” will come and they will get caught without a chair when the music stops. Then its cats, bitterness, and the 1000 **** stare.

Body art on women means the same thing it always has....same with nose rings and the like. There’s simply more today doing it.

What’s amazing is when I was working as a Bridal Consultant those with tattoos always asked how could they cover them...somehow when they saw them on their skin in a wedding gown the picture was not favorable for them to see.

NOBODY in that family thrived.

Well thank God for life at least, especially yours, and I hope your grandfather was not as horrible as you've heard. I also hope I won't be portrayed that way by my descendants. I'm blessed by 12 children and a wife that lovingly said: "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

I may be following late in the conversation, but the reason for non-American women is that they have not had the femininity beat or schooled out of them to understand that it takes 2. I live on the DC area and had to start dating again; this place is ground zero for bad behavior in women (and men). Case studies for what many are saying here.

I just love it when a FEMALE using religion as an excuse to tries to guilt-shame men for daring to protect themselves against women and gynocentric society.

*cough* *cough* metmom.

It is the sad cry of a gender becoming irrelevant. 70% of males aged 20-34 are not getting married, and the biggest reason is men going MGTOW.

And just wait until decent sex robots start being sold for affordable prices. Toss in a robotic maid and childbirth surrogates and you can have all the perks of a wife without risking your future in family court.

now when the guy peaks in his mid thirties and is attractive both physically and in earning power/security if hes single he gets the young babes, which cause single women his age to complain about how now that they are old, that men should date women their own age.

And yet men have no problem bragging up on how they chase and get the young hot babes.

They are giving out what the women want.

Who can blame the women?

// I see you are encountering resistance to the Red Pill here. //

There are a lot of Blue Pill people here. I give the following quote from Morpheus:

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save.

But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

There is a general trend happening where women are becoming less feminine and men are becoming less masculine.

Men with skinny jeans and pink sneakers?

*shudder*

They are becoming more and more androgynous.

Viva la difference.

...”It’s no longer legal to rule over a woman in the traditional manner....Most men have to resort to being willing to leave if she doesn’t behavior properly.....

Your choice of words certainly doesn’t indicate you understood my point.....it’s in a woman’s nature to sense her lose of equality she once had....it’s simply there and part of her nature from the fall.

If a husband is domineering she’s going to ‘naturally’ rebel against this....her desire is to be an ‘equal partner’ in a marriage....has nothing to do with her “behavior” as if she’s a child and needs discipline.

And btw...God never told the woman to “love’ her husband....he told the man that.....a woman was called to “respect” her husband and that sir..is earned. ..it is impossible for a woman to love a man she does not respect.... At best it will be a brother sister type relationship, tolerable but certainly not the loving relationship God designed it to be between a man and women.

"...contemporary marriage..."


The institution of marriage seemingly has decreasing benefits for both genders as time moves forward.

That is because women are hypocritical about sexual strategies, inherently assuming theirs is totally moral and acceptable and guys strategies are just awful and base and primal. Theirs is the same but they don’t have a problem with theirs also being awful and base and primal.

Their rationale is “well a girl’s gotta eat/i’m just looking out for my best interest/i deserve the best, society tells me so” but w/r/t mens strategy, you get the shaming and guilt trips from those women who are no longer able to get any man they could when they were younger, is “men just want sex/men should date women their own age/love my mind not my body”. When they were younger and had their pick of alpha males no such protests arose. They had their fun time.

The problem for men is it’s no longer legal to rule over a woman in the traditional manner. Most men have to resort to being willing to leave if she doesn’t behavior properly which isn’t a good foundation for a marriage.

IOW, it's not legal to beat your wife any more.

And that's not a good foundation for a marriage either.

The best solution to this issue is for the community of believers to reject women who rebel against their Husbands. Social pressure is very effective.

And for men who abuse their wives, they get what?

Honestly, a man who lovingly leads is not going to have the rebellion issues. And if he does, it behooves him to find out why she's feeling that way and *gasp* maybe even CHANGE something he's doing.

But to further beat her over the head to force submission is only going to make matters worse.

Women don't like to feel like they are being treated as property instead of equals.

A wife is MARRIED, not bought. It was a marriage license they signed, not a bill of sale.

Rebellion is an indicator that something is wrong in the relationship and it's not always the woman's fault.

>>Women need marriage, men don’t.
********************************
Interesting comment.

About a decade ago, before I retired, there was a new-hire, a young, unmarried “upstart”, LOL, who decided to test the maternity leave clause of the contract.

She lived with her wealthy parents, who paid for her to be artificially inseminated. Browsing through sales books, she shopped for her sperm donor, had the insemination, became pregnant, and had the baby.

Her parents became her child’s “daycare” while, after her maternity leave ended, she returned to work.

The other workers thought this was so innovative and terrific. They gave her baby showers, the whole enchilada. She loved it so much, would boast about how she would bring them up the way SHE wanted, no arguments, etc. She went on to have two more children (from the same sperm donor so they would all have the same genetics).

She got what SHE wanted, to have children and be the sole boss of HER “family”.

But at what cost?

These children will never know their “father” by her deliberate, selfish choice.

Take what she did and multiply it by other females who make the same choice, generation after generation....and tell me what our world will look like.

Why this is not a crime, I will never understand.

A lot of women my age look like the Crypt Keeper or weigh more than I do despite being shorter

"All partied out" could apply here.
