You can be sad all you want amigo. If I did it the traditional way, my marriage would be a disaster. So, I’m not going against what I know about myself. I know I am not a leader and I know a traditional marriage will not work for us.

As I said, a traditional marriage would not work for me. Traditional marriages do not work for every marriage. Just as egalitarian marriages do not work for every marriage. What works for that particular marriage is what she be done for that marriage and not something that will not work. I am...

You forgot the rest of the Beatitudes. Here they are: 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4...

As my fiance said, he was too good to be president!

Maybe in some instances, but cannot be said for all. How about, whichever way works for your marriage is best? With my fiance and I a traditional marriage would not work best, so a traditional wife would not do it better.

There is a verse before that. A verse that has no qualifications to it. It doesn't say, to submit one to another, except husbands and wives, out of reverence for Christ. It says, submit one to another, out of reverence for Christ. I'm not sure her ego is denying the divine yolk, Wrangler.

Unfortunately, the way many Bibles are written, they have separated 5:21 from the rest of the chapter. After 5:21, they have it titled something like the Christian household or husband and wife responsibilities (paraphrasing). Not all Bibles do this though. My Catholic NRSV, 5:21 is with the...

Merry Christmas!

Showed my fiance this and she said yep, fair enough for her.

Exactly! You have said it better than I ever could!!

Do you think that doesn’t happen in non-traditional marriages?

Hundreds compared to how many millions of women who are feminists? That’s why they are the exception. The few don’t make up the whole.

Thank you! Same to you!!

All this ra ra men stuff lately really makes me uncomfortable as a man, to read it.

That sounds an awful lot like misogyny/slavery. I don't read that in the Bible at all. She doesn't get a choice, the husband gets to decide for her. No, thank you, if that is what Christianity wants, I want out of Christianity. It's a good thing I don't believe for one second that is what God...

My fiance has said something similar. She has said that these days, there isn’t a whole lot of maintaining the structure of a house anymore for the husband. He will likely hire someone to come and say put on a new roof and if he does do it himself, that roof is likely a 30 year roof. It’s not...

I can definitely understand this!

Having been a stay-at-home dad to five kids when I lived in Upstate, NY, I can absolutely tell you that it is not an easy job to do. I loved doing it and would do it again, but it is not at all easy. I want to explain the above just a little. I was with the mother of my five oldest children...

My fiance decided not to respond. To her it’s not worth it. She believes people will continue to believe what they want regardless of what she says. She has seen it in this thread when I have shown her the posts. I will tell you that she calls me her ex-husband’s name 2.0. She said that I have...

I will reply to your posts a bit later. My fiance will reply through me to this one I believe. We’re out at Sea World and now headed to Disney. After the last couple of weeks, especially last weekend having to put down my second dog in 8 months, we need some time away from home and doing...
