This is in keeping with the inception of the original blog thought ,"when I was younger". Albeit in many cultures the children were informed initially by women,(nutured)and that has changed.Then a male went into a rite of passage phase learning skills from the males and that has changed. Lifestyles created wholesome people and nowadays if we look at the resources for this many are trying to negate these building blocks only to find out their experimentation years were almost a process that brought them shakily back to the strength inherent in faith based traditions. No surprise that arrested development (immaturity) was a psychosocial phrase that nowadays carries mental health stigmatization.They steadily destroy family traditions in their school systems and support the experimentation. Not much is recognizable any more and those people still lament over the results.
The level of public whinging is an acceptable media form, as is emasculation, which means to weaken.(the opposite of support,which is generally praise).Praise has been portioned out only to those who comply, disguised as equality, subjugates familial bonds where the legitimate basis of praise was directed towards gratitude to God. Praise is still know to some as prayer.The praise self or influencers is still idolatry to us.
Being gracious to others is kindness in lieu of praise. Grace is humbling one self.
This share starts after a few minutes of chat,and is a reminder that the younger males have less male mentoring or male role models in youth. As a single mom observing how other women dealt with this, raising up a fine young man is apparent. Each generation that passes has lost some of this wisdom. It even comes down to just the basics as the men's comments to this video attest to this.
I do realize Johnny that these very different lifestyles should not be compared and your podcaster has valid points about dating mostly younger women and their expectations to get their needs met.
I want to thank those who were as candid about their past and this couple is.
And what I'd like to say might about applies here,literally at CS... Don't put the cart before the horse- date,maybe step back and regroup and date again. Don't expect to change each other rather both will be changing over the years,so go with the change.
Kal, A traditional man used to do her same for her.It did strengthen their bond and their values were open.
The acceptance and respect for them by both families or mutual friends was open too.
(the PR.A.I.S.E. podcaster is not simply a Christian.He is a mature man that is pointed about the vast differences between traditional values and the norms that new couples or singles publicly proclaim and derive from social media approval, which changes more rapidly than the relationship itself).
A decade ago this would be comparable to self help advice or relationship tips from women's magazines in lieu of letting parents or pastors know you had any need for counsel.
Until my own mother passed I asked her advice on matters, never believing she was perfect or the only resource.It was passed down to me and very similar to this Podcaster's observations.I share these values with my only daughter.
How you "misconstrue" love may stem from many things besides the person so introspection by both parties,or counseling even may smooth out the bumps in a long term relationship. Feeling unloved IN a relationship can be remedied when it is in the open.
I'm actually glad you broached this subject on CS.
The comments were very telling and you are handling it with aplomb. (respectfully too) ~~~~~~~ I hope you got something special yesterday in your St.Nicks stocking.
This could as well have been said as no values. Either gender that initiates platonic relations with those methods will not receive the time or desire and be lacking an inner circle of support and comfort that is healthy and based on mutual respect. This foundation has potential for intimacy and trust.
I would not have imagined that this was not taught early in life.
Faith,family and friends have been under attack socially and by the institutions we used trust.It is a s.i.g.n.
