The woman should marry the man because the man has proved himself worthy of her.

Actually Bro. I have tons of experience cooking and cleaning.

BTW, gonna be in Pine Bluff next week, Thurs - Sat.

I dont know if you know this but this kind of knowledge and way of thinking is very foreign to many. If you lived closer to CA I would have you come and share your thoughts (which are excellent) with the recovery house.

I on a regular basis talk about proper female and male relationships with them.

No one has ever told them it's not right for a woman to chase a man etc.

Anyway-they love when I share information about what to look for in a man etc.

Yes sir... and that is good too. I lived by myself for five years and before that I lived in my parents home where the 3 of us boys cleaned the kitchen after every meal.

That ability to clean served me well in my single life and served me well in my married life as well.

I don't understand the concept that some men have that there are certain things that they are "above".

Looking back on my childhood, I see how my mother and father made their marriage works all these years... They worked together.. They both worked full time... My father helped my mother with dishes.... It wasn't a strange sight to see my father vacuuming....2-3 times a day... They never fought... If you heard my father talk about women, you would think he didn't think they had any sense at all! lol I've heard my father say that the country started downhill when women were allowed to vote... but you let my father see a man mistreat his wife and see what happens... If he sees a man "demand" his wife do this or do that, he has his say-so about it.... and at the same time, he'll say women don't need to be behind the wheel of a car... lol... but he has the up most respect for my mother...

It's not about what you say, but what you do...

For years I listened to a preacher teach us about how men ought to treat their wives.... with such respect and so forth.... we went out to dinner with them and I heard part of their conversation that ended with, "you just take your place as a woman and keep your mouth shut"... well, I started laughing and started to make a joke about it .... but then I saw that he wasn't joking... so much for all that teaching.......

My husband is the most incredible! We don't fight... although I try to... In the 15 years we've known each other, we've never yelled and screamed at each other.... My parents never did and I would not have dated a guy that treated me disrespectful... nor would my father let me

Or is that funny?

Lol!

Do you think that pastor knew this on his own accord or God showed him?

I think that all the time, the places I would have went and things I would have done if I knew what I do now!

I would not have waited until I was 42 to go to a foreign country-is one.

Anyway I am just venting!

You know what I think? He was having adulterous affairs and he knew I wasn't going to be one of them!

That would make sense.

Gross! And that was his way of communicating that he was taking you off his conquest list.

The exact words of my pastor at the time concerning my wife (when we first started dating)

"Son... she'll either make you or break you"

LOL...

He was also her great uncle.

I've transferred their childhood videos to DVD for them. So, within a matter of a few weeks I've watched them grow from birth to high school age. It's been fun to see their personality traits in them that I know now in them at such a young age.

I watched my daughter at age three on Christmas morning take about two or three LONG minutes to put on her new robe she got. She never got frustrated, she would put one arm in and then it would get twisted and she couldn't get her other arm in. She would take it off and try again and again and again. She refused help and finally got it on. That's her now - - determined to do it and do it for herself.

I watched my son rip through his Christmas presents every year - quickly. I watched my daughter take her time, open them slowly, enjoy the gift, then move on to the next one. That's the way they are now too.

I watched my son figure out in a minute how to hook up his new whatever and start playing it - - he's Mr. Tech man now -- nothing intimidates him.

I watched the sweet innocent childlikeness turn to a bit of adolescence withdrawal to moving out to college and barely being able to participate in family things because he's too grown up for it, then see him come back around to acting like a kid at 25....lol!

I'm just rambling, but seeing their lives flash so quickly before me really made me realize how important life, family, our love for each other is.....you guys with young ones enjoy each moment!

What a special post!!! I loved reading it!!!
