I know a lot of very unhappy women who follow the gospel. There’s problems living on either side of the fence.
“I know a lot of very unhappy women who follow the gospel.”
100% true. Often, “unhappy” = “miserable”.
This makes it sound like it’s all on the women, i.e., if they follow the Gospel their lives will be hunky-dory. The husband also has to be on that path or nothing works.
following the Gospel and actually LIVING the Gospel are rarely the same thing. many people say they believe IN God but how many of those same people BELIEVE God?
Most, not all, women are prone to unhappiness. And the trouble lies with what made them situationally happy yesterday, very easily will make them unhappy next month.
They are unhappy...but they are undisuadably superior in my experience. That superiority won’t allow them to “feel anything” for a man who’s not “at their level”. And by that they mean at their “spiritual” level. But when you come down to it, it’s not spiritual: its status. Average suburban Christian Karen believes herself super high-status (super spiritual Christian in the church-context), which then does not allow her to “feel anything” for men she deems to be her “spiritual” inferior (which we all know is just her perceived status inferior). Its amazing because the pagan women, who are often “poor in spirit” do not have this particular hangup, and are so willing to date the Christian man whom they think is a gold-mine of good behavior. But Christians, following the BIble, cannot date a pagan. But at some point, you just have had enough of EvangelicallyPerfectKaren.
