Ping.
This is a great article on military families and the temptations they face (not necessarily for you but for others).
I guess the text of this kit must be on the web somewhere?
Moral Absolutes Ping.
Little Jeremiah should be back to pinging this list sometime today.
And how many non-fiction men can measure up to the fictional men in the "romance novels" that so many women read incessantly?
Reminds me of the people who tell alcoholics, "Just stop drinking." This woman has no idea of why men use porn. It's always so easy to condemn another person's sin, one that you, yourself don't practice...
Does the military still hand out condoms? That seems at odds with this program.
As if porn is a big breaker-upperer of marriage?
This is all true and very timely. Yes, Christian men are being assaulted by Satan"s used car salesmen, the powers of the air.
That's yet another front on which God's plan of marriage is under attack. Christians need to 1. seek God and trust Him to bring us through and 2. fight Satan with weapons which are not carnal.
You mean our soldiers overseas don't act like a bunch of choirboys? Im shocked! Shocked! /s
A lot of people must have weak marriages if they are constantly "threatened" by porn, gay marriage issues, etc...
Cheaper than dating. ; )
When my wife and I married, our porn collections merged with the rest of our collections. Both of us continue to enjoy porn. In fact, when we go to a adult book store, it's usually at her suggestion not mine.
Our marriage is based as much on shared values and friendship, as it is on romance. Both of us are quite aware of the difference between fantasy and reality. Because of this, pornography does not pose a threat to our marriage. Nor does porn threaten any marriage that is based on a stable foundation.
And pr0n isn't exclusively a guy thing. Granted, guys look at it a lot more than girls do, but, well, how can I put this... the couple that watches pr0n together, umm, does other stuff together. And stays together.
I think money, alcohol, work (too much or too little) and a dozen other things cause more marital strain than porn.
LOL! Cheaper than divorce, too.
You mean a person could not practice abstinence without then going out and raping someone?
susie
I have been baffed over this often. Professional or porn based on degradation, S&M, Yes, I suppose. Videos of exhibitionistic couples having a good time simply creates a party atmsophere for us; We have both rented them. And we both fight over who gets to rake the front lawn, in order to observe the joggers.
We are married (To the original people..that's the Hard Way) Forty Years this year.
There has to be something fundamentally wrong with a marriage in the first place if it is so easily undermined by entertainment. Maybe people fail to keep it in perspective? We started out good-enough looking in the first place that we were not imagining any video characters as replacements; The attitude has endured though we are currently, well...OK..Fat, Old, and Ugly.
