Are women really really serious about relationships?

Being a wife requires not Only love and honor, but most especially Obedience. The Good Wife is.

A Good Husbandman must husband his wife.


a good wife submits to God and so does a good husband. If they are both putting God first, it is not about being obedient to anything else but God. Obedience does not mean unconditional blind following of a flawed human, husband or not, but following IN LINE with submission to God. A husband that is submitting to God will only expect a wife that does the same. It will be about God, and not his own ego.


You got that so right! We should all adhere to a book that was put together some 1500-1600 years ago. Living according to what's in there has proven to be very fruitful. We have 1500-1600 years of history to prove just how well it works!
PS you do realise the book was put together by a bunch of men who decided what suited their agenda and what not, and they left out what they didn't like?


WE adhere to science that is about that old. Why not? If it makes sense and proves true, what should the age matter? Truth is truth. WE have more than hundreds of years of human behavior, no book changes that, no book ever will. That does not negate the significance of guidance or standards though. I realize the book makes sense to me. IT does not have to to others.

Sex does not automatically make something wrong or untrue any more than race or nationality does. It seems if men just wanted to leave out what they didn't like, they would not have included Leviticus which has rules such as death for both MEN and women committing adultery.

I don't adhere much to what science comes up with either. But science is a bit more flexible and keeps moving and learning. Religion doesn't. And what was required -according to those men who thought that up 1500-1600 yrs ago for everyone -is not required today anymore. People and societies change too.

I also find it strange that when you think of it, it were very very devout Christians who came to the Americas and then kidnapped thousands of Africans to be their slaves. Maiming, abusing, using, raping, selling, branding them, seeing them as property.
If that had happened to my ancestors, the religion of the people who did that would be the last thing I'd embrace as my truth. But I guess they didn't have a choice either.

I know you believe in that religion very strongly. To me that's unbelievable, considering what it does and has done. People have been tortured, burned, drowned, hanged, quartered, gutted, and so on in the name of religion. And that still happens today.
Don't get me wrong, I too believe, I'm very spiritual, but I do not believe, and never ever will, in something so obsolete and restricting as religion.
I believe in love.

Kids should be allowed in the workplace.

Say welcome to the real world,
This is where people earn power for others.
People do hard labor, just like in the stories.
Have them sweep the floors and wash the windows, instead of hiring housekeeping. Sweeping floors does not take up much of the day, plus it is quiet and rhythmic, allowing for creative thought and introspection. Get the boss to let them pick out a book from the business office, then have them come back 30 minutes later and give them a 3 minute reading and comprehension test, then a 7 minute discussion about what actually goes on in the real world. Take them to anyone doing a job and have them name what they are doing and explain how the world works that makes their work necessary.

Then let them play outside with a small group of other kids of friends who social distance from everyone else, if there is a good climbing tree to hang out in, or scenic open space run around together in.

I don't believe religion does or doesn't do. I believe religion is beliefs. And I believe humans choose the actions to take that follows their beliefs.

I also think people hide behind what they want others to think they believe, and people's actions often do not end up bearing fruit, like the husband who brings the wife flowers and candy, but is actually screwing every body and kicking her behind. I don't blame flowers and candy, or the tradition of buying them for a loved one. I realize the responsibility for the act lies with the actor, not flowers and candy, or its tradition.


I believe in love too. I also believe in actions, consequences, and real life.

"Why do gossip girls clamor for equal pay?"


?????

Well, I don't know any group called "gossip girls," but if there is one, I would certainly support them being paid just as much as "gossip boys."

Religion is a source of inspiration. It is like oxygen. There is a brand new Holy Spirit among us, from the same God who was before time. When People do things, it is Godโ€™s will that they do them. I do not know why do them. That is why I pray, I get my thoughts out and open my mind to what God In his wisdom will do. There is much mystery in this world. That is why the Bible is mostly inspiring literature with a few practice exercises, not an owners manual. Though I do not understand, I do believe in God and in you all.

As for people who are intolerant of religions and religions that are intolerant of people, those are thoughts, not truths. Things are the way they are.

Now that you point that out, yeah, thatโ€™s not right.

Tell them if they help others to be happier and more profitable, youโ€™ll pay them the extra that the company earns. Pay them a set fraction of the profit that the company makes that year, in addition to their ordinary wage. If there are 10 people in the company, pay them 20%. Just them. Make the numbers transparent to them. Tell them there are good years and bad years due to economic forces, and you want the company to grow.

Money is just a game. People who are more inspired to work by money usually end up richer. People who are more inspired to work by morals usually end up more virtuous. People usually get what they want. That is the way it should be.
