Way to miss the point of comparison. I was talking about critics. I can tell you’re not surrounded by those on the same level as mine. Takes a lot of work filtering the good from the bad and I need a woman who will cut me a break and stay content.
That is your misconception. Don’t blame me if you forget that Joseph was only a foster. The theological concept of Mary submitting to God’s will was my focus, not the fact the Joseph was her hubby.
The fact that you consider it condescending and startling only makes it more typical. But go ahead. Keep at it. It’ll also be proof with what’s going on with women in this century.
You’re right there’s a huge difference. And is in that huge difference that I prefer the latter because how you described the former is but a subtler version of what I’m tired of.
Hey man, obedience is an admirable quality in women. The humility to swallow pride and follow your spouse is definitely a praiseworthy thing. However, I can sort of understand why some would question your desire of this particular virtue in a woman. I expect it might just be the way you wrote it, but you sort of come across as wanting someone to dominate or control. Obedience is a quality that must be earned in a relationship. It takes trust. Now obviously there are some who see submission as an insane, nonsensical thing that females should avoid like the plague, but you can’t expect someone to just fall at your feet or ‘‘stay content’’ just because you want them to, with little to no work on your part. I’m not bashing your opinion, but perhaps you might consider what your future wife might want as well.That is your misconception. Don’t blame me if you forget that Joseph was only a foster.

I’ve met plenty of introverted quiet-types. They are not shy. They are anti-social. There’s an even bigger difference there. At best, they’re just female versions of me. They don’t say anything but are always just as snide and cynical as I am. Like me, they just like to hide but that does not change that which was hidden. As much as I sympathize with them, one internal critic is bad enough without marrying one who is just like it.
That’s different from wanting someone who comes across as sheltered and reminiscent of some saints.
And again, I don’t see why you’re making this such a big deal when there are millions of women out there in the planet. I only want one of them to be like what I described. Not sure why some of you are freaking out but I know enough to expect it.
That’s exactly what I want to do! I want someone to devote myself to and who can wholeheartedly appreciate the hard work I’ve done. When you’re surrounded by critics (good or bad), that type of appreciation is hard to tell! Someone always has something to point out. I mean, I’m willing to take criticism and objectively improve but good God, what I wouldn’t do to have at least her as the one person in my life to be 100% supportive. She doesn’t have to be bright or completely correct but just has that innocent faith and trust in me as a spouse! I’ve got already the support of my leaders, my family, my friends, and even my enemies if I’m looking for suggestions. All I need now is just someone to support me in a more heartfelt, spiritual way.
You’ve got the support of your enemies?
Then what are you complaining about?
Ohohoho! Anyone can get the ‘support’ of their enemies. It just so happens they misinterpret it as ‘stealing’, ‘spying’, or ‘giving themselves away’.You’ve got the support of your enemies?
Dude! I’ve been hanging out at all the wrong places. Where do you find enemies like that?!:hypno:
:juggle: I am confused, bewildered, intrigued and made curious by this thread. The escalation, explanation and interpretation seem to fill me with exasperation and exaltation. Wonderous yet ponderous how one could say without much delay with a certain wordplay that much opinion can have such dominion over the ever so modest meticulous muscle that miraculously measures and manipulates the spiritual material of a mind trying to find the very kind of thought that is brought and perhaps sometimes even bought by others…how interteresting I must say.:tiphat:So why did you put “religious” on your pros list? Isn’t that kind of a double-standard?
Yeah, it does sound like I’m not as surrounded by criticism as you are. Ever think about why that is, other than to wring your hands and say “Woe is me”?Way to miss the point of comparison.

Holy cow, man, just keep right on digging yourself in deeper.The fact that you consider it condescending and startling only makes it more typical. But go ahead. Keep at it. It’ll also be proof with what’s going on with women in this century.
You should totally make a sign of the above phrase, and just hold it up to every potential partner you meet…that should get your ideas across pretty quick.
I like rock, celtic, piano, metal, metalcore, hardcore, acoustic…hahaha, what can I say, sometimes you just have to smile… my lunacy aside. This is an interesting topic of discussion especially nowadays amid the “hook up” culture (interesting Fr. Barron video i was watching) :
