I feel sorry for some of you, because you have no concept whatsoever of the deep and abiding joy and security that comes when a man or woman makes a life-long commitment to their loved one without having to shack up with, or test-drive (what a stupid metaphor) the latest model.

I have a beautiful 20 year daughter who believed me when I told her that God was preparing a man for her, and that she was to remain holy and dedicated to this man long before she would ever meet and marry him. Abstinence of the heart and mind, not just the body. My daughter is in love with a man that she does not know yet, because she trusts that God is preparing a young man who will be a perfect mate for her.

Sound hokey? Eat your hearts out. All you who live according to the desires of your crotch will never understand this mystery, because any thing less than this falls short of how God intended for marriage to be.

The only reason that my wife and I decided to get married was because we decided that we wanted to have children, if we had decided not to have children, we would NEVER have gotten married. No reason to, no reason at all. Marriage is for the security of children, nothing more, other then that, it is not necessary.

I once went to church that was full of disgruntled, never-married 60 year old women who had grown up believing the same thing...

I will lay odds your daughter receives very few second dates after meeting you, if she were smart then she would meet them far away from your influence. I mean the girl is twenty and is still taking dating advice from her father, I smell issues.

I'll pass on characterizing..

But, to paraphrase, did God prepare a young woman (Miss Hillary) who would be a perfect mate for young Willie Clinton?
