“I was taught that God is Love.”
Moral revisionism.
Where in the bible does it say to love God?
People are commanded to obey God and love each other.
Oh, Good Grief.
Try Luke 10:27
and John 4:8 and :16
“trying to DO something ‘activist’ about this, “
I think laws should be changed
Well, I’m not sure it’s ‘laws’ that are doing this. We see Law being set aside all over, recently.
But if it is, laws don’t get changed without people getting actively behind a movement to accomplish that.
Complaining and expressing your jaundice every chance you get on a website just doesn’t do it
I've heard all the stories from both women and men.
Some people (both men and women) take advantage of other people.
It's sad, and sometimes the system stinks, and sometimes men complain about women, and sometimes women complain about men.
But, one group (women or men) really isn't to blame for everything.
And than you for posting this. It’s tiresome to have this hoary old factoid trotted out as evidence.
Hahahahaha! this thread needed a good zinger!
i didn’t say one group is to blame for everything.
I am very clear about what i do say. I didn’t say that.
What you have observed and what you have seen outside of a double-blind controlled study are empirical evidence, not necessarily factual evidence nor statistically valid analysis. Every observer has bias. Opinions, inferences and feelings aren't facts.
“Opinions, inferences and feelings aren’t facts. “
Then get out and and talk to real people . If you have any interest past making comments on the web .
I’m not a18 year old, I don’t require you or anyone else to tell what I have experienced and learned with decades of hard work, is just something I made up.
Real people have been hurt with these abusive actions.
Have some empathy for them, it could easily be you or someone you care about,
Sadly, the law doesn't care whether a spouse has cheated. Whether the husband cheated on the wife, or the wife cheated on the husband, makes no difference in divorce court.
The judges don't want to hear all the details or listen to arguments, either.
So, today, all divorces follow this formula (at least in my state):
- Whichever spouse earns more is the one who pays alimony. Alimony stops if the one collecting it remarries (or moves in with a partner, but good luck proving that).
- Whichever spouse stays in the house gets the house, but must fork over half the equity to the other spouse (or they must sell the house and split the equity 50/50).
- Unless one parent is dangerous, both parents share joint legal custody, but whichever parent stays with the kids gets primary physical custody, whereas the parent who moves out gets visitation. (The courts don't care why the parent moved out.)
- Child support is calculated based on the parents' incomes and the number of nights the kids spend with each parent.
It's not a perfect formula, and there's much more to it. But it has nothing to do with gender.
But, you're not seeing the whole story. You're seeing only one part of it.
Uh, you just doubled down.
Feelings aren’t facts.
Marriage is God ordained and the only institution for the legitimate expression of sex. He condemns sex outside marriage.
God is the one who said that it is not good for man to be alone and instituted marriage and how it is to operate. Anyone who advocates against marriage goes against God’s design for humanity and family.
It’s the mechanism by which children are to be brought into the world and raised. (Malachi 2:13-16 And this second thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. But you say, “Why does he not?” Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God[g] seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. “For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
Men are to love their wives as Christ loves the church and gave Himself for it, and women are to respect their husbands and obey them as Christ. Men are to protect, provide, and lead. Women are to submit and respect. Actually both are to submit to each other and not deny each other sex.
The big problem with marriage these days is that too many people are in it for themselves and their own personal benefit and what they can get out of it. That cannot and will not ever work. It’s selfish lust and not sacrificial love.
There’s plenty of blame to go around in who is at fault for a marriage gone south. It isn’t only women as some here would like us to believe as if men are perfect and can do no wrong.
A spouse can file for divorce in a state that the other spouse has never been to yet now is beholden to that state.
Was it Lauren Bacall who said maybe a couple should live next to each other in separate houses and visit each other?
I never realized that either!
Great song, though!
Okay any advice would be appreciated.
I am 58; been married to the same man for 31 years.
However he no longer wants to be intimate with me. Tonight I tried to please him but he pushed me away.
He doesn’t want a divorce because he says I make him laugh.
He has me living in a home for seniors with Alzheimers. Been here a year and a half. He doesn’t want me home, where my dog is.
I am not happy with divorce but I want to feel like a man thinks I’m pretty and wants to be with me.
Not sure why I posted this; just feeling lonely in the old-timers place.
Perfect point.
Thank you, that is wonderful of you to say.
It has everything to do with the roles that are accorded based upon people's beliefs about gender.
