Thank you so much for sharing this story. If there was a snot-crying reaction I'd click that one haha 🥲. Also, the fact that your marriage isn't a happy one makes your fidelity all the more impactful. I salute your respect for the covenant, Sir! 🧑‍✈️

That's neat, Miss Learner! It probably is more of a cultural thing. The churches I was raised in made a somewhat big deal about gender roles, but the one I attend now is fairly chill about it. I like that.... not all of us fit a typical mold haha. There's a few things I bristle at every now and...

Alright, I see how you meant the term "codependent" now. It's definitely loaded haha, but no worries. I definitely see how either spouse acting independently of the other would be detrimental to a marriage. I'm not sure if it's any different if the "independent" person is male or female...

Alrighty, I understand your intent on the title better now. Am I submitted to Christ.... I think saying I am 100% submitted to Him would require knowledge of my own heart on a level that only God Himself can discern. But I do know that there's quite a few things I wanted but abstained from...

L❤VE this panel miss Magenta, I think it's my favorite! The light plays beautifully and the verse works perfectly! 🤩 So appropriate for @Brasspen right now, too! 😊

Thanks for clearing that up.... I frequent a lot of psychology media so was only thinking of codependency in the unhealthy definition. But I'm sure there's a proper, healthy way that married people would and could rely on each other. 🤔

OK good to know! From the title it sounded like you were only looking for input from males. Which is fine, but based off that, other females might be hesitant to post as well. Just FYI! 😊 Great questions though! I feel like each question deserves its own thread, they are such deep subjects...

I'm not clear on whether this thread is open to females. 🤔 If it isn't, I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to respect your intent. 🤝😎

Valid concern, but couldn't the same be said for a man who is accustomed to "flying solo"? 🤔 And I realize that husband and wife would and should come to rely on each other, but is codependency ever completely healthy? 🤔

Definitely..... but there's a huge space between the 2 extremes you mentioned, and the Bible doesn't lay it all out crystal-clear. But yes, I agree, women should not seek to be masculine and vice versa..... It's more the Grey area in-between that I'm pondering right now. Like, just as Jacob...

You don't need to know right now, I will explain it when you are older 😜

God chastens those He loves..... this is great news and I am proud of you! Good job on the exercising too! 💪😎

Yeah, I think that's part of my issues..... church culture tends to make a big deal about gender roles. We act like it's set in stone and has to look a certain way, but like you said Jacob wasn't as "manly" as Esau, yet God chose him to carry on the Abrahamic lineage. And like @zeroturbulence...

Not sure if this was supposed to be deep or simply funny, but I found it guilty on both counts! 😎😂

I'm just trying to be a good Christian, unlike some of you heathens who would rather follow the rules of men than the word of God! 😇😜

Alrighty, thanks for clarifying and thank you for your service!👨‍✈️ 🇺🇸 Really, if I were to tell a guy I'm independent, it would just be an effort to be upfront with him about how I am. Some guys prefer a girl who's more talkative, or one who would just accept their ideas without discussion...

Thanks! It's not affecting me too much, I was just finding myself bristling at the subject a little bit. When that happens I figure I'm probably misunderstanding something. All the input has been very helpful! 😎👍

Hi Brasspen, I'm glad you are realizing this! I wish there was some way I could tell you how different a Christian romance is from a worldly one. But I'm not sure I could do it justice. Just focus on God right now so you'll be able to recognize His leading when the time comes. Having a sweet...

Good point.... if we're gonna stick with the whole "Adam and Eve only" idea, that probly rules out anything indoors. 😏

Alright, that's good to know! I'd be curious to hear more if you care to share, if not I understand 🙂
