Also, I have no biological children of my own, only stepchildren. And I'm ok with that. So no, I've never experienced the pain you're going through because it's not an issue for me. I have simply accepted God's will and proceeded accordingly. And He has blessed me abundantly. I'm curious though: if you didn't come here for advice, what were you hoping to get from us? I ask sincerely; maybe I'm missing something?

I'm guessing you don't come here regularly or you would know that this is a tough love kinda place. We tend to be blunt in our responses because the rest of the world wants to give people a hug and tell them everything will be okay. That being said, it was not my intention to come off as hurtful, just bluntly honest. The fact that you've gotten the same response from everyone tells me that you're unwilling to face the reality of your situation. I get that your wife is struggling and it causes pa…

You say it's what you want, but God seems to have closed that door. Rather than stubbornly proceeding anyway by looking for alternatives, why not read Genesis 16? Abraham attempted to circumvent Sarai's closed womb by impregnating her handmaid Hagar; look how that turned out... If you REALLY want children, there are plenty that need to be adopted into a good home. I think you and your wife are being stubborn and selfish, and need to repent.

What part of considering, buying, and planting a field is ‘limited to the home?’ What does ‘the home’ even mean in this context? “The home” in Scripture refers to the household sphere under ordered authority, not a physical building; her work is explicitly oriented toward her household: “She looketh well to the ways of her household” (Proverbs 31:27), showing her work serves for the support of her household rather than redefining authority structures. Can a woman not work even if her husband app…

Is fully compatible with your definition of Biblical patriarchy. The statement is not incompatible with Patriarchy, but it is incomplete. Scripture defines those “roles” with real authority structures: “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church” (Ephesians 5:23), which establishes not just distinction, but ordered headship. Complementarianism…typically limits male headship to the home and church Which means "not definitionally" You’re actually supporting m…

Edited to add my other comment that was to you in the other post: Complementarianism and Egalitarianism ARE heresies. They both violate God's headship order, which is Biblical Patriarchy. Oh...of course, that makes sense. Ok, here's the comment copied and pasted if you care to expand on what you wrote above, my response to your comment above will be below the line at the end: Paul says the husband and wife relationship is patterned on Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:22-32), which means the fr…

OP's post, comments and history are intact. Maybe he blocked you?

In my experience, nearly everyone who speaks this way 1. does it anonymously online, not in person (in other words, they are duplicitous cowards), and 2. has some personal sin angle they are working. I absolutely agree with you on this statement. However, at the time I'm writing this, th…

Paul says the husband and wife relationship is patterned on Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:22-32), which means the framework runs in both directions. If the wife is to the husband as the church is to Christ, then we, as the church, are in the covenantally feminine posture before God. Sit with that for a moment, because it reframes everything. Every behavior the Red Pill identifies as corrosive in a wife maps directly onto what the Western church, and frankly most Christian men, are actually …

For the PE problem, you're young so consider it a warmup. Take a few minutes and go a second round. Or you can have her blow you first, you finish and rest a bit, then round 2. Simple. For the ED, it's likely just finding your groove. Focus on pleasing her when this happens, and then let her get you revved up and ready to go. It's psychological, so if you both treat it as natural and no big deal it'll pass. It keeps happening because you think she's gonna judge you or think less of you - you nee…

God wants to be first in your life. He is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14) and deserves first place. Take some time and put Him first by reading your Bible, praying, sharing the gospel and doing good works. How often do you read your Bible? Pray? Share the gospel? When you put your relationship with God first, He will bring the right person at the right time. *"Delight thyself also in the LORD; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." * Psalm 37:4

Nope. It's neither. The Bible is Patriarchal. Once you understand that, then you also understand why modern versions are a problem with their gender neutral language. Read James 1 in the NIV and then read it in the King James and you'll see what I mean.

This is exactly the problem with subject headers in the newer versions – they were put there by man, not by God. When you read Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. That goes with the verses before it, as part of the subject being discussed in verses 1-20. Paul is speaking to the church as a whole, within the context of the church body. Beginning in verse 22, Paul changes gears and focuses on the wife/husband relationship specifically: Wives, submit yourselves u…

That’s why I’ve carved out one specific day each week for deep Scripture reading and focused prayer—it helps me recharge and stay grounded. Still, I’ve been wondering: would it be more effective to incorporate shorter, daily sessions throughout the week instead of relying on one long block? While one day is certainly better than no days, think of the Bible as food for your spirit: would you sit down and eat a 7 course meal once a week and then eat nothing for the next 6 days? Of course not, that…

The only starting point for faith is whether it is true or no This is absolutely true, and should be seriously considered by anyone thinking about becoming a Christian.

I use the 1611 King James Bible after many years of using the NIV and the NKJV. The 1611 has shown itself to have power in my life that other translations have not had.

Sometimes she asks for money before we can make love. "How much for anal?" would be the question I would ask next time she does this. When she balks, tell her "Prostitutes charge, so I may as well get my money's worth." Then say "No thanks" and leave and go to the gym.

I'll reply to all your comments here for clarity: I agree with this, but I don't completely agree that regulations on behavior are useless. They certainly do not change the heart, but I think they can, to a very limited extent, protect people from the generally evil inclinations of the human heart.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless." This is the crux of the problem really, because what needs to change is the heart. Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" How do we change the heart? One person at a time, thru the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only the indwelling Holy Spirit has the powe…

I firmly believe that the vast majority of people in the church (all denominations) are not saved. And the majority of them don't know they're not saved. I wholeheartedly agree. Because of this, I have started to explore the concept that it is faith alone in Christ alone, not theological purity, that is important. To the extent that "faith" is legitimate, saving faith I agree. I believe that people of faith may be found in all denominations. Just as false believers may be found in all denominati…

They definitely put a higher focus on the role of works in salvation, much more in line with the language from James than from Paul. But that's not necessarily wrong as long as they agree that faith is required. Because I will agree that works is required, but I place works as evidence of conversion rather than an element required for conversion. This contradicts Either way, a true convert will have works. And they seem to be agreeing that it is faith in Christ that is required for salvation. th…

If you reveal your sexual past, it could lead to a conversation about her sexual past. Obviously she wants to avoid that.

It probably means "I will not submit to you", which is the opposite of ‭Ephesians 5:22-24 [22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. However without more context this is simply a guess.

I have had some situational anxiety around my still somewhat inappropriate relationship with another woman. I put boundaries up for her and have to defend them almost daily when I see her. It's weird, but good practice. Plausible deniability and a playful feigned innocence can work well here. Never let on that you think she's actually pursuing you, just play innocent like you have no idea. Still, I'm troubled that as recently as a month ago, failure to trust God led me to rationalize away my sin…

Time to say "no" to bad sex - including handjobs. "No thanks" would be better. It's a small but important difference that conveys Outcome Independence instead of butthurt. One of the things I've been struggling with is that a lot of her requests seem reasonable and I don't want to just be a jerk and say no when it's stuff that I can easily do. a lot of the saying no just feels like it would be petty when there's no reason that I couldn't pick her water up and refill it while I'm refilling my own…

In the morning I initiated, she started taking comtrol and I told her it wasn’t working and disengaged. I just rolled over, I should have got up and walked away because she tried to get me to reengage and I was sex starved and weak enough that I followed her command. It obviously wasn’t going to work and it didn’t work but it meant that instead of walking away strong I was weak. Do you want …

Being socially apt starts with putting yourself in social situations with others so you can have social interactions. The amount of time you currently spend in solitary activities is the biggest factor in how you feel. I would recommend finding a place to volunteer somewhere, a place where you must interact with others on a daily basis. Perhaps a soup kitchen, the Salvation Army, etc.

“Doing everything for His glory” (1 Cor 10:31). Sure, it sounds great, but what does it mean for YOU? It's the Christian epitome of "getting in shape." Too vague to be practical on a day to day basis. Christians need to have goals. Doing everything for his glory is a good Vision, but doesn't translate to Mission very well because there's no specifics. The thing about Paul is, he wrote enough of the New Testament letters under direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit to write about what this means e…

Hookup culture benefits men I'm not sure this is quite right. I remember seeing data showing divorce rates go up as the # of partners a man has had goes up too, just not as much as a woman's. I think in context what this is saying is that it "benefits" men sexually. It doesn't benefit women because there is no provision aspect in this arrangement. If you look at the old adage of "men give love to get sex, women give sex to get love" then it's easy to see that since sex without commitment or love…

When a loved one gets upset, many men choose to handle that by getting angry in response. This is a weak, self-defeating approach that usually just makes things worse. So what can you do instead? Be amused at her anger – because she’s trying to shake your frame, get a rise out of you and bring you down to her level. Instead of responding in anger, respond to the manner in which she’s communicating rather than addressing the feigned issue she’s raising. If you become angry, defensive, hurt, etc.,…

When considering any principle in the Bible, one must consider what group of people that book of the Bible was primarily written to. You should also consider what period of time (dispensation) was in effect during that time. For instance, the things Jesus said while here on earth, which are recorded in the gospels, actually happened during the period of the Old Testament, even though they are in the New Testament section of our modern Bibles. This was known as the Age of the Law, and so while th…

My personal opinion is this: the more women a man fornicates with, the more extremes a wife will have to go to in the bedroom consistently to keep him satisfied. In a way it's like porn usage: in general, the longer most men view porn, the more they desire stuff toward the extreme end of the spectrum. Regular porn just doesn't do it for them anymore. I think the same thing is true in marriage. While both partners should be willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy each other (within biblical bo…

Food does matter. Oatmeal is best for keeping hunger at bay. I lost 73 lbs over 2-1/2 years doing intermittent fasting and eliminating all sugar. Here's your guideline: when you're hungry, can you satisfy that hunger with healthy food? Or do you crave sweets, snacks and junk? If it's the latter, then it's not hunger but addiction to sugar and junk food. Oh, btw if you drink soda or energy drinks, cutting those completely as well is an easy win.

So if repentance is more than a change of mind, is your works-repentance good enough for God's kingdom? Good works don't save us, and I make no such claim. That being said, a person who has been granted the ability to repent of his sin to place his faith in Christ for salvation will show evidence of that in his deeds.

However, when it comes to who you choose to enter into a marriage with, not everyone can, or desires to, accept the inherent risks associated with previous sexual experience. Keep in mind that I speak as a man who is on his second marriage, as is my current wife so this is not my personal position. But here's an analogy that might help: Let's say you go to Walmart to buy some underwear. You find…

Virginity is valued greatly by God for both men and women. Show me without appealing to the Old Covenant. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, sait…

Virginity is valued greatly by God for both men and women. Those who would argue that it's not that important are filtering the Bible through a Red Pill lens. It should be the other way around. It's not a "fetish" (that's ridiculous in light of the Bible's clear commands). It is, however, a good choice for mitigating risk. Those who have sex before marriage have a much higher chance of divorce - PERIOD. This is not an unimportant thing to consider, especially when choosing the person they will (…

You're welcome. I'll tell you a story I haven't told here before. When I was dating my wife, I made it very clear that I expected oral sex to be a part of our lovemaking. She had never done it before, but expressed a willingness to learn. When we got married (it was the 2nd marriage for both of us), the first night she was a bit resistant when we went to have sex the first time. I was gentle but insistent, and we eventually did it and it was pretty good. We continued to do it every single day, s…

Just start with oral, since you said you've already done that. If things get hot and heavy enough, you'll both likely want to progress to the main event. On the chance you get started and find she's too tense for penetration, no worries. Just finish each other off orally and then have fun exploring each other's bodies. How you handle her the first night (understanding vs. pushy) will set the tone in the bedroom for the first few years of your marriage. Focus on making each other feel good, and t…

Here are some practical tips to avoid sexual temptation. Here are some verses that speak about sexual immorality being a sin. Here is a post that will help you understand why sexual sins are sin. And this comment will help you understand the importance of preserving your virginity for marriage. If you burn with lust, 1 Corinthians 7 has the answer. Find a woman who is truly living for Christ and get married. Do it God's way. I've done it both ways - don't make the same mistake I did.

Matthew 19:3-9 and 1 Corinthians 7:1-17 (the entire chapter covers more) are the two main New Testament passages that speak to one husband/one wife outside of the requirements for elders. Why is it important? Because marriage parallels the relationship between Christ and His bride.

The question has to do with work/chore responsibility in the home. If you both work full time, then the chores would ideally be split closer to 50/50 so everything gets done without the burden falling primarily on one person. If she's a SAHM, then her primary responsibility is first to the house, and then to any other endeavors she wishes to pursue.

Women crave FeelzTM like men crave sex. They need it, it's non-negotiable for them. You need to engage more in Push/Pull, which creates tension in a woman. The tension increases and is released. The technique is perfect for creating the emotional roller coaster that women NEED. One example would be something like: "Get away from me. I can't have you around.

Success isn't based on location, it's based on sanctification. As you get serious about your faith, the indwelling Holy Spirit will empower and enable you to reach others for Christ. Of course this starts with reading the instruction manual. Here's a post that will point you in the right direction. Watch the videos that are linked as well, they will help you.

Ok so a few points here: I don't expect them to come to the conversation "naked exposing all" (figuratively speaking) before the conversation is allowed to even start. It's only for relationship-related questions, per Rule 2. And for those, stats are necessary to avoid people skirting the true reasons for their relationship problems. Physical stats usually reveal if a person is overweight, or doesn't lift. Attractiveness solves many/most of those issues, and that involves being in shape. "Missio…

Ok this is a start. What will you do if she continues to escalate the situation despite you doing the things listed above? You see, here's the problem in a nutshell: when you resist, she escalates. You resist more. She escalates even more. You'll get scared and back down, and when you do this you are reinforcing the very behavior you seek to change. So what will happen is that when you stand your ground, she will escalate even more in a desperate attempt to maintain control. This is when things …

I need to realize my role in all of this and take full ownership of this behavior by enforcing consequences as well as doing more to lead these interactions instead of reacting.

Curious, what are the beta traits you see? Your income/business ownership and home ownership are beta provider traits.

Intermittent Fasting also forces your body to burn fat once your meal has been fully digested and your stomach is empty. Doing that over a 2-1/2 year period helped me lose 73 lbs. And that was BEFORE I ever started lifting. But besides reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity, the other vital thing to address if you're overweight is sweets / sugar intake. 1,000 calories of cookies is not equal to 1,000 calories of chicken in terms of how it affects your body.

What you will find is that there are many who call themselves Christians - it doesn't mean they are born again, real followers of Christ who obey His commands (which is the biblical definition of a Christian). God says numerous times in His Word that sex before marriage is not allowed - it is called fornication, and is a sin. That being said, how common is it? Pretty common. The church these days often looks no different than the world. And remember, those who teach that it's okay to do this sor…

You're welcome. At this time there are no plans to have one Reddit sub that is co-ed. The creators of the RPC Discord decided to make that space available for men and women, and they moderate it separately. And because of the way Discord is set up, there are not only co-ed channels, but channels for men-only and women-only as well. It's a really great place; in fact, most of us spend more time there these days than we do on Reddit.

Good point - you're right. If it's called out then he sees it as an issue and your response is better.

If the boss calls you out for being late, then chances are it's not the first time. Better to be the guy who is always on time or early.

Obviously, if you've actually and significantly hurt someone you value, then a full-on sincere apology probably needs to be given too, and you need fix whatever can be fixed and move on without wallowing.

This is the truth. It's just hard to see it right now. We often think we see things clearly. But when we are in the midst of a difficult situation, what looks clear really isn't. When you're in the big city, downtown, what do you see? A clear blue sky and fresh air. But get in a plane and fly over that same city and what do you see? Smog. Smog so thick and gray you wonder how you didn't see it before. Distance simply provides a new perspective and allows you to see everything as it really is.

I'm working on my Talus bone being stuck which has been causing issues with squat.

Let me be clear here: I'm not accusing you in any way. Where that line gets drawn is between that man and the Lord when it comes to questionable things.

Don't be stupid. "Test the waters" by reading every single post in the Divorce Advice on the Sidebar over and over until your eyes bleed. Take notes. Create a strategy, one that benefits YOU. Make sure it's as airtight as possible. Above all, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT IT. Women do stupid stuff like throw false DV charges at you when they feel like they are backed into a corner. Save that for the courtroom.

Everyone who smokes weed says they can quit anytime. Everyone. But the bottom line is we all have to make DIFFERENT sacrifices to reach a level of success.

When someone says "you need to read your Bible more" they are saying that what you are claiming is so far from biblical truth that it is clear you haven't read it enough to know the difference.

In the Old Testament, "covering someone with your garment" is a metaphor for protection. A classic example is Ezekiel 16:8, where God describes His love for Israel using the symbolism of a man and wife. As the protector and provider, men are supposed to "cover" their wives. Malachi's two-part criticism in this passage is that this is not happening. Israeli men are marrying pagan women (Malachi 2:11), and they are divorcing their Jewish wives in order to do it (Malachi 2:14). This is exactly the …

It's not about age, it's about maturity and common interests. When you consider marrying a girl, think of it this way: "Once we're done having sex, what will we do together?" If nothing comes to mind, then maybe you should think about it a while more (with the big head). There's also the compatibility issue as you get older.

We don't judge a person's character - that belongs to God alone. Jesus was talking about those who take what you say and trample it down in the mud, like a pig. So if they disagree, this is okay. If they listen but don't seem to be interested or respond, this is okay. It is only when they actively put down what you're saying and ridicule it that you can recognize likely swine mentality. But always remember, we are to judge the actions and words of another, not their character. As far as creating…

For Christians, divorce is always sin - but often it is a lesser sin. This puts us in a more difficult position for sure, but it kinda goes with the territory. Malachi 2:16 says "For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.” Matthew 19:3-11 says "The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his…

Frame is the filter through which you perceive reality - it's knowing who you are and what you want. That includes your opinions, your desires, your dreams and ambitions.

Historically I've had a difficult time determining the difference between fitness tests and comfort tests so I was glad I was able to correctly distinguish that this time.

Their only doctrine is that of St. Peter's church, but they accept couples from all faiths and no faith.

In 2017, I was stronger and more like 10% bodyfat at 180. This was even more motivating. The thing is, words in a journal are hard to quantify in terms of progress that motivates you. Try this: do a search for male models in underwear on Google, and find one that represents your ideal body goal. Use that to measure your progre…

My wife has actually stuck to intermittent fasting for 2 weeks now. She did say the other day that she had lost a couple pounds, but then gained it back, but just today she said she'd lost a couple pounds again, so it's hard to tell what kind of progress she's making. But at least she's staying motivated for now. This is a good start. If she's trying, then what are you doing to guide her and help her succeed? If she's reporting her progress to you, praise her efforts. Then ask if she would like …

She said she'd "be happy to talk details with a third party present" after asking me if I was going to counseling with her and seeing my reiterated boundary that I'm not going to be involved unless she deals with the other guy stuff. I asked her to clarify and she said she assumed that means I want a divorce. I didn't argue since she's "happy to discuss" - no point in pursuing someone who's so hellbent on having this other guy in her life and has some weird ego investment in always pursuing me l…

Frame is the filter through which you perceive reality - it's knowing who you are and what you want. That includes your opinions, your desires, your dreams and ambitions. That is your center point of origin, the core of your being. It is both who you are and who you want to be. When you are a child, you have absolute frame, but as you grow up, it becomes diluted by society, education, religion, politics, sports, the media and other people. As an adult, absolute frame can lead to problems.. narci…

The classics scholar Ann Nyland points out in her Source Bible translation that the ‘burning’ is probably grief.

The gist of your comment is "don't make the Bible the final word." At least that's how I read it. And the Bible tells you a pretty shite way to deal with abusers. Mostly “stay with them forever because divorce is a sin” It's not quite that simple, you can choose to separate. But it's also true that Divorce and remarriage is sometimes the lesser sin. Plus "emotional abuse." That's womanese for him not being the Captain - she probably just nagged him to death.

The context in chapter 6 shows we are talking about prostitution.

1 Corinthians 7:2 “But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.” In this verse, the apostle Paul describes any activity outside of marriage as “sexual immorality.” That means when we read of “sexual immorality,” it includes sex before marriage as one of many examples of sin.

When you know who you are in Christ, you can see society for what it is: a cesspool. Are you born again? If not, that's the first step. The next step is learning how to live for Christ and relate to those around you without becoming like them again. Start with the Sidebar readings. You're 17 and have been given a great gift by finding RP and then RPC. Use it wisely.

Brother, this is FANTASTIC! Very detailed, I'm sure it will be a huge help for many who are struggling with this. You've thought the whole thing through very well. I'm adding it to the links I share with others who struggle with porn. ​ I've copied the following from my journal from 2017: On my computer w/out a purpose, looking for something to do, and I think I'm alone. Bored. Angry. Tired. I'm making excuses & actively rebelling. I had to settle with the idea that I wasn't taking care of mysel…

This is a well-developed Mission statement in many ways! But while I see discernment, courage and discipline listed (and these are good things to work on), I don't see anything directly related to your character. God is as concerned about your character as He is the works you do, because His goal is to transform you into the image of Christ. A good barometer of this is examining the evidence of the Fruit of the Spirit in your life. Which Fruits are most in need of development in your life? Pick …

She initiated intimacy though I could tell she felt dutiful so I rejected. I want her to not feel obligated to me, and I told her that. Covert Contract. You want her to not feel obligated to you, and so you're obligating her to not feel obligated. Inception-level Covert Contract as a matter of fact. ​ Earlier she had told me that she felt like all she could do realistically was cook one meal and clean one room a day.

You see, from my perspective I'm setting the bar and expectations and letting her achieve them in her own will or way. How does this fulfill her God-given purpose as your helpmeet? Sounds more like something you would put in place for a teenager (yes, I'm aware she's the oldest teenager in the house). How does this fulfill her role as your First Officer? ​ As far as how can she help? I don't know. I mean I looked at Chucks, and I don't know who his wife would help with that. Honestly, I'm not ma…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
