I’m not sure if the flair is correct.

The Bible calls for wives to respect their husbands and for husbands to love their wives. For the atheists here, don’t groan and click away just yet. I have a non-religious point to this. I had two thoughts about the Bible verse.

  1. Why did they use two different words? Why didn’t the author calls for wives and husbands to love AND respect each other? They used two distinctly different words.

  2. I noticed that this has something in common with Red Pill theory (something I remember reading in the sidebar somewhere): a woman is not capable of loving a man the same way a man can love a woman. Women are not capable of unconditional love, at least not towards men. The sidebar also has a very common theme of only going after women who respect you.

I found it interesting that the red pill was so oddly in line with a verse from the Bible, so I looked up the definitions for love and respect.

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection.

Respect: a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

Here’s my main point. Wouldn’t you rather have something that you know you earned than something that was just given to you? In my past relationships, my insecurities always stemmed from the fact that I didn’t know why she “loved” me. Since I didn’t know where it came from or why, I was always scared that it could be taken away from me at a moment’s notice, and it always was.

If she respects you, you should know exactly why. That’s something that can never be taken away from you, because you earned it.
