There is a difference between entering a relationship with someone who adds to your life when you’re both in a good place (within and without). And undertaking one in a time of brokenness hoping their presence will lessen your pain. We owe it to ourselves and one another to bring healthy people...

I don’t live on the west coast and the setting isn’t ideal for a group. I’m not concerned with simplicity. It’s a memorable event for my loved ones. And considering the needs of older attendees is a must. A private property with a chapel and accommodations is my preference. They can enjoy the...

I prefer a style and hue that suits his face and lifestyle. I’m not a fan of facial hair and will choose a clean shaven man every time. As long as he attends to his appearance and takes care of himself we’re good.

Thank you for the recommendation. But I had a different venue in mind. :-)

I have never paid for a date or engaged with a man who expected me to do so. Covering our expenses was their domain and one they eagerly embraced.

MGTOW is an outgrowth of discussions of red and blue pill ideologies (influenced by The Matrix) which began on the Internet. Their reluctance to become beta males in a system designed to benefit women (in their opinion) has inspired them to take the wiser choice and opt out. Those who engage...

I think he’s correct. I recollect the time when gentlemanliness was the norm. And I’m in my forties. When people descend into uncouthness there’s no turning back. The lines of respectability shrink and their baseness knows no end. They become reprobate.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. The skinning isn’t important once you’ve broken its spine. —Ayn Rand Religion and politics have consistently proven to be excellent avenues for indoctrination and deception. There is no way I could entertain conspiracy without scrutinizing the sources of...

Wealth comes in many guises. Material wealth is one iteration. It commands our attention but others draw equal interest when they’re lacking. Consider the blind and deaf and the multitudes without their infirmities. Or the mother struggling with infertility and the children she encounters every...

Helpfulness. I’ll see a problem and offer my assistance or input without considering (read: failing to ask Him) the consequences of my involvement. Sometimes He pulls me back, requests my silence, or allows me to go forward. When I’m feeling overwhelmed He’ll remind me I took it on without His...

Singleness is the only season where its members forget how to live and obsess over its presence. And for more than a few it becomes their identity and overshadows the whole to their detriment. If we viewed this period in a similar guise as adolescence, middle age, and other acts. We’d be less...

For me, it’s equally important that the gentlemen is yielded to the Lord and invested in developing his leadership skills. I would find it difficult to follow someone who hasn’t done the same. There are men and women who have head of household relationships. Many were reared in them as children...

My friends have the same disposition. But I intentionally developed connections with other women who lived and felt the same. You must be willing to listen and observe her behavior when he’s near, absent, and when she’s mad.

I’ve heard others suggest the same. I don’t think I’ll have to go that route. But I don’t have patience for innuendo and ambiguity. My companions made their interest known upfront. And I was expected to do the same.

Experts suggest two things are taking place in the dating marketplace and both are influenced by the Internet. The obvious are dating websites. Depending on who you ask they’re a viable option for meeting prospects or a meat market. I’ve never used them but I’ve been on forums that allowed us to...

As the spiritually mature one in the pair, it’s my responsibility not to permit an attraction to blossom with someone whose absence of belief will only lead to pain. Whether they share my desires is immaterial. The possibility of transgressing the truth and maiming my witness ought to guide my...

I don’t believe in cohabitation or long engagements. I think it’s important to set a date and meet the commitments you’ve made. There should be an honest dialogue with parents and those who are willing to provide financial support about a practical budget for the rings, attire, venue, and other...

It is one thing for someone to follow your lead because you are their lone source of provision and sustenance. And another for them to do so when they aren’t dependent on you for their welfare. One of the ways you can discern the depth of someone’s commitment is to see how they react when their...

Everything under the heavens belongs to God and He knows what we can handle and what would destroy us. The challenge of wealth for most is the autonomy and ease. Its possession won’t resolve all hardships. But it makes many easier to bear. And it has an isolating effect as well. Proverbs tells...
