That's why I included training in the post above...too many sincere young folks just don't get it and have a different view of God's requirements in their zest to please Him...then are either dorky or rebellious because they don't realize the time and effort that is needed for a good relationship

I just asked my husband if I've ever used sex to manipulate him. He says not that he knows of.

The fact is I heard teaching in this regard by our DS as a young married woman. He made the point that women should never use sex as a bargaining tool or as a weapon of any sort to get their way.

I remember when he spoke about this thinking ........ "Women do this? But how could they? It's wrong!" LOL.

You are right - our opinions are formed by our own realm of experience.

If you need any tips - PM me. J/K!!!!!

Thanks! I think I'm okay without your tips.

I asked my wife the same question and she said "Sex?" !

I never saw this kind of behavior modeled by my mother or my sisters or my grandmother.

Never saw it modeled by my close friends -- either before marriage or after it. Neither I nor my close friends acted this way (intentional manipulation to draw some guy into relationship with us).

Haven't seen it modeled by most of the women I know in any kind of personal way. Like I said the women in my social circle which was the church circle didn't act that way. It was never even thought of by myself --- my mind certainly doesn't work that way. My husband would agree.

Our opinions are formed by our own realm of experience. Guess your realms of experience are outside of mine. All I knew was church, loving God and living for Him. And the friends I've hung with over the years were the same.

I've seen it both ways and because I respect women...

I'd want (and do have btw) a wife of the qualities spoken about here

I couldn't agree with you more! Maybe I have found my ministry - - I could talk to young people....think they'd listen to an old lady?
