When a Man takes a wife she is his flesh and he hers. A man does not let one arm get hurt and only protect the other arm. They are both his flesh. The woman does not starve one leg and feed the other. They are both her flesh. This is what is wrong with the male female relationship today. They are two flesh not one, even in their union.
I brought this up because I known a lady that wasn't allowed to have friends because of the relationship she was in. But she had one friend who stood up to the guy and backed him down and told him that she was the other lady's friend and that he was being too jealous and too possesive. His indoctrination of the lady that wasn't to have friends was almost as she was in a prison. In the boonies and in the secluded areas where civilization is a form and not a reality the term marriage can be a life sentence with no time off for good behavior. I believe there is a good jealousy and a bad jealousy. One may like to thought of as the other half of a relationship but still reserve the right to be a whole person outside of the relationship. I don't think one should have to give up their friends even though they may have committed themselves just to one person. If possesion is nine tenths of the law; it shouldn't apply to people.
AMEN to that! Bully for you! There are far too many people who are isolated from one-another without being kept as virtual prisoners by some deranged quasi religious disturbed person or just plain nut cases.
I am not attacking you, Please don't attack me! Only my veiw. I agree that most Bible thumpers are plain wrong and do terrible things. I stay away from them. My point was that I think it is a wise thing for a man and women to treat each other as one treats their own flesh. Many do not and that is the problem.
Many, many, have changed the meanings of the bible. They have committed many terrible things in the name of God. I have tried to talk to preachers about the bible. Many get wild and even cursed me out. Not as it should be. Too many power hungry, glory seekers, money hounds. I stay away from them. Please don't judge me by them.
How can you be faithful to humanity when you feel the love for one? By keeping it to yourself and telling no one. Is it better to have loved someone for who they are even though they may not feel the same for you? I feel it is but I am not everyone. Are some people incapable of true love but only want a cheap facsimile? To each his own is what was always told to me. Even though I think I have been faithful to you all, I keep feeling to me I was unfaithful.
