All jokes aside, I relish having the freedom to be who I am; career wise and otherwise. I appreciate a man who is loving and family-oriented, but by no means a push-over.
Men are at least 50% to blame for the tide that has turned against them. If only men would cherish women and treat them with the respect they deserve they would not now be faced with women who do not really appreciate them.
The truth is, we need each other. Isn't that why we are here?
Good points, Serendipity. I'm currently reading a book on relationship and the chapter I was reading from this morning includes a section on happiness; specifically when people expect their partners to "make them happy". More importantly, it points out that happiness is not found so much in happy events, but more so in doing the things that we should be doing. Hard work, attention to priorities and a balanced life result in happiness. Those things are not dependent on our circumstances.
Well scouse, it seems you are attempting to control people's comments by saying that their opinions must leave their values and beliefs parked outside. Who are you to limit anyone's freedom of expression? If the OP doesn't like my comments he has the right to say so or to delete them.
Furthermore, my comments do not in any way limit anyone else's freedom to choose their own actions. In fact, I have stated that God gave us the freedom of choice. Otherwise he would have placed an electric fence around that tree that he warned not to eat the fruit from.
Cat, I must disagree with you about religion as being something you can change. Before we are a race, we are human. Humanity is a creation of God. Our eternal identity goes far deeper than our racial identity. I would have no problem adopting to a different culture, but I'll die before I renounce my faith.
Of course, you may disagree and that is your right (as we are given free will), but I just wanted to make that point.
Very insightful blog, Catfoot. Very well said. Obviously such a relationship can work, and if it does, that means it is truly a love match of two mature, committed adults with a solid foundation as well as a good support system. A mutual belief in God would be the cornerstone of such an alliance.
