This is why waiting until marriage is a life hack. It repels men who would be prone to viewing women as a mere object to be toyed with. Just *poof* gone. I’m not saying the ones who are left are all perfect - I managed to get strung along by a sociopath on purpose bc he

Abstinence is a good practice not only in singleness, but in marriage, too. It will be necessary within marriage. If your wife has just given birth, you will need to practice abstinence. If one of you gets sick, you will need to practice abstinence. If one of you is recovering

The concept that you won’t be happier if you make significantly more money is peddled by people who have never been broke as all hell and don’t understand how that impacts a person’s life in reality. It’s such a demoralizing mindset. If they knew what they were saying. Let me

Becoming a wife isn’t the start of one’s LIFE. It’s a shift. Becoming a mom is also a shift. Both are the beginning of a new and good thing. Obviously, the roles of wife and mother carry a very specific type of weight. That doesn’t mean the single or the childless aren’t
