Migurl:And a successful marriage does not take ability, demand certain qualities and count as an achievement - and is hence worthy of respect and admiration ![]() Does a woman - or a man - need to be married to be respected? No. Does a good marriage accord with not only respect, but also prestige, honour, joy and fulfillment. Absolutely! It underpins all flourishing societies, it is the lifeblood of healthy communities, all religions commend it, and those who have successfully achieved it will always testify, and it wil be evidenced by their generations after them. If you don't get it or don't want it fine - but nothing can tarnish it's essence or reduce it's benefits if properly practiced. The OP' questions demands only a 1 word answer, but begs a whole heap of questions - which I hope I've touched upon somewhat in my two posts on this thread. TVMIC Find any 2 similarly situated people; one successfully married and one not - then tell me if you considere them to be exactly the same in terms of achievement or success. |
Ewuro4:No please - all that should "matter to US" is that she and hers are happy with their choices/situation.Spoken as the proud husband of a SAHM who spends a lot of time lunching with her friends and causing commotion in the town centre with her SAHM' gang !TV |
kittykat1:Well said - and very true Everyone has the right to their preferences - and responsibility for the attendant consequences. If she misses out due to the restictions she places, that's her fault and burden. And if the shared background helps her have a smooth marital journey, well done to her. bellong:'Sup Bellong - I think this is known as the "A stitch in time saves 9" approach . Why wait until desperation sets-in? Then you have to read all Woged2005 threads on marriage "adjustments" for the over 30's !TV |
mutter:Well said Mutter. Getting married indicates - or certainly should - a willingness to take on a greater responsibility to others and a larger stake/role in society. Society acknowledges that action by according you a different type of, or more respect. And so it should. No one is forced into marriage, and everyone is free too make the lifestyle choices they prefer. Marriage is rated exactly as it should be - as pivotal. It's society' basal building block/institution, and best framework for passing on heritage, traditions, securing legacies and raising the next generation. All the howling by those who don't get that - or childishly demand that their choices be accorded the same respect will not change a thing - thankfully .TVMIC |
Timbuktou:If that is indeed the situation, he can probably alleviate that by only doing it for a few years and then getting back to work when she starts school - she's already 2 years old. It's not as instinctive in men - he'll do well not to get bored before 2 years sef .In the "Liberal West", men are becoming ever more feminised, with women making the reverse journey - so this kind of thing is to be increasingly expected, and to be honest more workable. Even if it's not what I would advise "generally", there is no reason why an individual couple could not make this work - and work well. I note some peculiarities about their situation though, particulalrly the fact that they appear to have no financial strain as a result of this decision. If that "stash" his "his-theirs", or "theirs-theirs", as opposed to "hers-theirs", their should be no extra burden on her or feeling of resentment that she is funding this. Interesting that he's younger? Maybe nothing in that - although Western men are increasingly shamed into marrying women their own age - but it's also possible the relationship is wife-led or more egalitarian anyway. Also, he appears more advanced in his career and more likely to have a stake in any former employers - speaks to the finance thing. It may also be that she's on the cusp of bigger things in here career, so it makes sense for her to attain, instead of possibly regressing, which can happen when women take time out. I wonder if they are planning more children? And if so when? Again, the trend is for smaller families now. I do think many families would be making plans with a second child as the focus; that would suggest the smart move would be for her to take in again - she is 36 after all - and him to keep working. Wish them all the best, but generally women prefer their men to be active and situation usually demand it's the woman that does the stay-at-home-thingy. Only try it after due consideration. TV |
Evening Martinosi, I'm interested in knowing the reasons which you you are alluding too. I initially posted without looking -assuming it was a "religion" thread - I am actually more interested in pursuing a discussion on the religious implications. Having said that, what is it you are insinuating? Politically it's clearly a great strategy to influence the "religious" vote - Sikh temple the day after, with probably more Temples/Synagogues/Mosques to come . And he so obviously stroked their "blab it and grab it mentality" - it was so cringe worthy (but like a lot of the aspirational sermons they undoubtedly hear every week.Slightly more codedly, the Government already "owns" any religious body that registers as a charity anyway - hence no outspoken opposition to Camerons "Gay charter" - they simply can't, whatever they feel. So what else is there? I'm always happy to be fed on occasion ![]() Thanks TV |
I hardly ever watch OH TV, but I just flicked on in passing and I raised an eyebrow when Pastor Agu (sic?) introduced The Conservative party chairman - all na vote collection I thought. But when he introduced The Prime Minister, the tiredness left my eyes in a flash - just eaten after a heavy spin class - I couldn't believe it. Cameron is just ending his speech now and I can scarce grasp what I'm watching. I can't even begin to unpick the spiritual implications of this. Oya Redeemers, before I comment further, what do you all have to say about this TV |
Superleo2:OK, I'll take it...please explain how and I'll respond. If this is just attention whoring or hissy-fit type passive aggression please cease and desist as; 1. I am not a reconstructive surgeon 2. I do not require the services of a rent boy 3. I find your "trailing" me quite creepy TV |
Superleo2:We couldn't care less how - or to whom - you direct your feelings. Nobody is born gay I see you are gay and confused. Superleo2:A piece for all you deviants. We don't care about your "SPEC" - we know your lifestyle is harmful to yourselves and society. TV |
Superleo2:Why does it feel like the annual gay-shame parade round here ?See this one I bashed so tey he de-activated . Actually, "gays" demean themselves and denigrate mankind by their perverted behaviour I'll be back to tear you another anus tomorrow (you probably need one). ![]() TV |
rudebouy:I wasn't planning on posting this evening, but had to rush in to drop a few lines before the urinal destroyers arrived to browbeat or shame you into questioning or going against your natural inclinations. Firstly - you dey craze? A well set rack is important to you and you don't already consider it a "quality". Let me tell you this; if you do marry a woman with a decent rack and you don't let her know by constant verbal reference and indiscriminate groping - in addition to dedicated "appreciation slots" - that you find it amongst her foremost qualities you are dulling. If big b00bs (how quaint) mean a lot to you, don't you by any means choose someone who doesn't have a set that will put your eye out if she executes a right turn to quickly. There is nothing wrong with you or your desire; if it's marvellous mammaries that you desire, it's the least you deserve for the hard work you are going to put into building a home and providing for your wife and any children you may have. What may I ask is wrong with having something to look forward to at the end of a long hard day at work ?I am serious, if you marry someone without them, you'll never be satisfied and the risk of straying will be greatly amplified. The only exception is if you meet someone who presents such a compelling case, that her lack of the chest size you would ideally like makes absolutely no difference to your desire to marry her - even then, give it time so that your eyes can clear, just in case. If you do get what you want, know that there are potential downsides, be sure to mentally consider and fully embrace that possibility. And it might be an idea to carry out some discreet checks .To answer your questions; yes & yes !I'm off upstairs ![]() TV |
5minsmadness:...just like our resident feminists/feminazis/femenians here on the family section then !TV ...and please, no denouncing them as loonies, ill, mad or non-feminsts.

cococandy:I specifically referenced the OT cococandy:It may happen contextually, but it's men that should generally lead - and no, we don't agree, not least because it's in the NT cococandy:You are always welcome. We once discussed and I suggested you read and get to know the bible for yourself. Be that because you want to understand it or engage in debate about it's content. Reverb. cococandy:You didn't actually make one. cococandy:None taken @BlackLeopard, your pathetic, plaintive, whiney, mewling - and as someone mentioned "insincere" - post was noted. I like to respond as far as possible, but you don't desrve a whole post for that TV |
Shollypopzz:It's the internet - I know the rules, unlike some who post up in here !Shollypopzz:I'm not sure which post you are refering to? I thought I'd responded to everything. Let me know - I won't pass up the chance to bash you ! And you did not respond to my question re the origins of men - but it's the internet and I know the rules !TV |
Shollypopzz:In the sense that the ones here claim they are, but are clearly not. Other possible qualifiers, Crypto, Pseudo, Ersatz, Bogus !Shollypopzz:Someone regardless of sex usually "wears the pants" in a relationship - In a Lesbian relationship with two "nurturing, empathetic and low-testosterone women", you'd expect it to be an atmosphere of mutual support and supplication - total peace. But no, not only are they the least enduring of relationships, they are also the most violent. "Your relationships" - not to be unkind - are mostly of the transitory kind. Those are more likely to be egalitarian. You both satisfy a single need, no real pressure, demands or support needed. They are little more than feel good times. Like marriage with the honeymoon, but without the baby sick, bills, ill-health etc. Shollypopzz:One of your problems is that you appear not to haven't engaged in a L/T commited relationship. For what is essentially FWB, you are looking for fitness based on 1 criteria. For a L/T relationship, a woman needs decidedly more. In general women will only couple L/T with a man they can look up to (higher status). Otherwise the attraction wanes and the woman is left feeling dissatisfied - ask Cococandy . Or ask your soi-disant feministas on this thread that are forming equality in marriage if their husbands are Alphas?Shollypopzz:Men are not superior - they are equipped and wired for a complimentary - not a competing - role. Not to say there isn't a lot of overlap or that both can't be proficient in areas the others are more naturally inclined to. Todays lesson; First, it's better to think of Alpha/Beta in a neutral sense (not pejoratively), and then as behaviours, not inbuilt characteristics or personality types (otherwise all hope would be lost for FrancisTony ). So any man can exhibit Alpha or Beta behaviours. And for a successful L/T relationship, men need to know how to blend the two.Secondly A/B behaviours are not the same across sexes or even something that really pertains to women. Hence your first false assumption. Men don't view women in those terms or using the same criteria. What you call an Alpha female is to a man simply another man. If he hangs with her at all, it's because she probably passes on other "fitness criteria". An Alpha status male who has sufficient wealth/income is not looking for that as a fitness measure in a mate. I hear women wail al lthe time "I have umpteen degrees, a high flying career, my own place and car, subscribe to - insert name of trendy liberal rag here - have on-point conversational skills..etc. etc., but I can't get or keep a man - at least not the type I feel I deserve/want.Sorry y'all that's all secondary. If you are not "fit" with it, you are losing out to the giggling bimbo with the pretty face and the figure 8. Yes, we are that shallow !No charge Sholly - just invite me to your wedding ![]() TV |
Timbuktou:Morning T, perhaps we should offer to mentor FrancisTony - he's a real danger - mostly to himself - if left unschooled in the arts of manliness. Maybe informally? Coogar, Crackhaus, Pickabeau1, Njokusboy, Kabonic etc. perhaps the occassional pointer when he's fumbling !@FrancisTony; never whine. It demonstrably unmanly. You ran to the mods. Thats so "entitlement princessy" or plainly speaking a beesh move . If you can't take the heat or haven't the appetite for the fight, simply bounce (Shollypopz does that so well ). Pick your battles - count the cost as the bible would say. All you've done is introduce rancour into the thread - Todays lesson.TV |
Shollypopzz:...'morrow. I need to go and tend to my garden !TV |
BlackLeopard:Hissy fit !Pele TV |
FrancisTony:Au contraire. I even liked your post - good gif, lousy argument. TV |
cococandy:Cococandy knows fully well that not everything in the Bible is prescriptive for Christians. Coco is well aware of the the distinction between the moral and ceremonial laws of the OT, and the commandment to love God and neighbour in the new. Coco also knows that loving God means keeping his commandments - as laid down by Christ and His apostles, and that loving your neighbour does not mean endorsing their every action. But Cococandy, like many of the other soi-disant feminists around these parts, struggle to reconcile their progressive inclinations with their love for piety ! And so like to form like they have equality in their relationships.But as I've pointed out before 1. No human intimate relationship is ever egalitarian - note we touched on lesbians having the most violent relationships. 2. Women do not want men they can't look up to. Ultimately they won't respect them, cannot love them and won't be happy to stay with them. So we either have lots of Femininists married to Betas or we have Coco !TV |
BlackLeopard:I wouldn't have the cojones to mess with a real feminist. Only the unseeded NL types ! Have you given up making the case for homsexuality?FrancisTony:...why are you pleasuring yourself with his effete post - awon rent boy corps !TV |
Stillfire:Stilly, you struggle when it comes to Bible. You're better with standard social discourse. Not to be prescriptive - just trying to help !TV |
Stillfire:H-E-L-P-ME-E-T! TV Kissing ke? Pa Adam was Alpha & Ma Eve was a babe - he woulda hit that ! |
Stillfire:Stilly, Stilly, Stilly, ah, ah! Please tell us what God original plan was? My take; Adam was always to be the head - hence, he was held accountable when he hearkened to Eve's voice and sinned. If they were to be considered equals, then it was clearly the woman who fell into transgression and would have bourne the consequences alone. Women - creating situations since the garden .Shollypopzz:Sholly, Sholly, Sholly, I've answered you now? Abi?? I believe in a Lawgiver and one who has given us a conscience that knows broadly right from wrong - even if it is learned to a degree. Plus you didn't answer my question about the origins of mankind? Feminism demands a minimum of equality - a woman that chooses to let her man lead has denied feminism in it's essence - and not revoking her card is a sign of your desperation to keep your numbers up, not ideological fidelity. Toying with feminists is getting boring !I see BlackLeopard has flounced off in a hissy fit. Where's that mangina called FrancisTony? Let me knock his little head !TV |
cococandy:It's not sexist to me. I see leadership along with greater responsibility - and burden and accountability - assigned to men. Feminism decries that, and views it as oppressive and misogynistic - "sexist" is a polite way of stating it from a feminist view. So if you agree with me, then yes !TV |
crackhaus:Equality is used to force outcomes and make different things the same. Case in point is SSM. An opposite sex couple can never be equal to a same sex couple. But forcing the narrative to make them equal means they have to have marriage. And then they have to have children. So wombs for rents, forced separation of children from mothers (children rights out of the window) all has to be legitimised to ensure equality. Equality is treating things that are situational alike in the same way. It should never mean compromising the rights of one set (children) to indulge the desires of another (gays). It should not require huge amounts of social re-engineering or come at great cost. TV |
crackhaus:KJV can give people headache and it's not as amenable to sophistry as some of the more recent translations .We all all equally heirs of grace, equal in a creational sense, but men are charged with leadership in the home and church - this should by some readings extend to civil leadership, but I'll leave that - feminism cannot abide any sense of being led by men. Indeed they consider marriage oppressive to women and many would like it dismantled. It's clearly stated within the first few paragraphs of the wiki definition. TV |
cococandy:Au contrairé Coco - thanks to Christianity. And I want fundamental human rights for all. TV |
BlackLeopard:I don't equate them - homosexuality is worse. Given cultural norms and traditions, the age of consent/marriage can be debated. And where that is so young as to be considered paedophilia is by degrees (not paedophilia in the sense of babies/toddlers 0). I consider homosexuality more or less bracketed with bestiality. BlackLeopard:Speaking in a purely civil manner, one can make a case for tolerating it. But as we've seen, discussing and negotiating with sin - let alone compromising with it - merely gives it more headroom (it abounds). And it will continue to force it's way to totally colouring the social discourse. I actually see nothing wrong with zero tolerance towards homosexuality. And Homosexuals are 6-20 times more likely to abuse minors; and at rates over 85% for minor boys. BlackLeopard:As above. I honestly pay no heed to ad hominem and it makes no difference to me. I may even confess to enjoying it a little. In all, I cut to the heart of issues. Some issues can be discussed civilly, but I've come to see that some evils must be confronted head on and without recourse to bogus niceties. When the talk here is now of charging people who don't give their children a positive portrayal of homosexuality No to homosexuality, no to same sex marriage, no to same sex adoption. No and thrice no. TV |
