Interesting combination. Makes sense in an odd sort of way....

Divorce has become way too mainstream in the church.

Where does “Flatulence” fit on the list?

I thin it was included, the part that said: if you are inclined to perform a dutch oven, then maybe lift the sheets and say, I’m sorry but I can’t keep this to myself-shows you want to share with your wife.

My secret was to find a woman who wanted lots of children, stay at home and raise them, and loved fishing and camping...

Married in April 1960, and we stopped at 3 children for medical reasons...
Fishing and camping with the children were a major part of our lives until the kids grew up and left home.

Then we fished partner bass tournaments together up and down the East Coast until she had to undergo a knee replacement 17 years ago.

Instead, we spent time traveling to Las Vegas and casinos in PA and WV, until the MGM came to MD... Now, just about every Tuesday, we are at the MGM...

We (she is 86, I am 92) have stayed here behind enemy lines because all our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren live in Southern MD...

IMHO because‘ Christian’s’ are not taught to obey the teachings of Christ - some modern day teachers believe obeying Christ’s teaching is some form of ‘earning your way into heaven’ ; just watched a Tim Keller video on this tonight, sad theology

“Criticism and blame, defensiveness, contempt, stonewalling”: that’s the base operating system of most future ex-wives. It’s gotten to the point that if a successful Western man wants to have children, it’s better to hire a brainy university feminist that doesn’t, and pay them to manufacture then go away.

My wife and I do not do these four things—and we are happy.

Why would anyone hurt their best friend?

“June, you heinous witch. My coffee is ice cold.”
“It was hot when I called you Ward, you hideous monster.”

I don’t remember the Cleavers talking like that.
Doesn’t this seem like common sense?

the silent treatment is dangerous.

OMG !!! I dated a 100% Hungarian Woman born in America to Hungarian Parents who had escaped the nazis as WW-ll was starting. They came to America and became U.S. Citizens and She could apply the

Hungarian Silent Treatment

that would hit whoever was the Target like a Tactical Nuke !!! Just being in the Stealth Blast Era could inflict damage even if you weren't the Target !!!

I REALLY MISS HER 😕😍❤️😘🥰💕💖

I always enjoyed the silent treatment. I considered it a lovely break. I used to tell him that in order for the silent treatment to work, it actually had to be considered punishment.

Mr. GG2 and I aren’t woke enough to handle that psycho babble. We just say what’s on our minds and once in a great while profanity is involved then its 4:00PM and we have chips and salsa and a beer and forget about it. 😉
