Matthew 19
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan.
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others--and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

Translation: Eunuchs are castrated men. While this doesn't mean we must castrate ourselves, Jesus does say that it is better for men to live like one, and not to marry. Simply because of the nature of our fallen world.
I feel this part of Matthew is very important in our time for a few reasons:
- We must remember that Women are not our enemy. I bring this up because I know Feminism sometimes causes a bit of bitterness in us all. God created women for us; It is only because of our fallen state that Women work against us and are sometimes more of a curse than a blessing. While we might not always realize it, sometimes we feel bitterness from the exclusion and the unlove that Feminism makes men feel. Feminism pushes men to the side, and naturally, we grow hateful. But this evil comes from corruption in higher places, which the bible clearly tells us to fight against.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." - Ephesians 6:12
- While women are not our enemy, Men are better off without them. Jesus makes this clear. Those who can handle this truth will have greater focus on what really matters; God and the next life. MGTOW is naturally akin to this understanding. We realized this truth and we embrace it, choosing to live healthier lives without the need of women. Because we know it's healthier for us both spiritually and mentally.
Regardless if you are religious or not, there is definitely a lot of truth in the bible. The wisdom that can be gained from it can truly transform your life. I hope you all find peace, and keep going strong in these dark times.
