I was not a participant in the “purity” movement and have learned about it only after-the-fact and second-hand. Nevertheless, as the biggest recent movement to revive Traditional Courtship, it deserves close scrutiny. By the accounts of those that participated, it was somewhat troubled and problematic. As I have mentioned, for the last several years IContinue reading “The “Purity” Movement”

Women’s Logic
I am not really qualified to talk authoritatively about trends in Christian circles, since I know very little about them, but from a distance I get clues about dysfunctional patterns common today, among those that are attempting to apply a Courtship Model. Among them is the notion of “not settling,” or waiting for “God’s best.”Continue reading “Women’s Logic”
Women’s Fertility
Here is some info on a woman’s fertility with age. This is literally the chance per month (menstrual cycle) that a woman is likely to get pregnant if she has sex. As we can see, it is at its highest around age 20-22 (info on teen years seems to be stable at the highest levels),Continue reading “Women’s Fertility”
Natural Law and God’s Law
I am not a practicing Christian, but I am Christian-friendly. Christianity, and its related institutions or traditions, is basically the “operating system” by which Western Civilization runs. There are other good operating systems. iOS and Android are both pretty good. China uses Confucianism and Japan uses Buddhism. But, Christianity is the one that we use.Continue reading “Natural Law and God’s Law”
Katherine’s Final Speech
Let’s enjoy the final speech of Katherine (the Shrew), from Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, as played so well by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1967 movie from the play. But first, as background, here is Katherine as we first meet her. The meek and beautiful Bianca is Katherine’s younger sister: Here, Petrucchio (tempted byContinue reading “Katherine’s Final Speech”
Lonely Virgins
Men looking for wives in today’s swamp of party sluts looking for Captain Save-A-Ho and “good girls” ground down and worn out by a decade of “dating” might despair at the seeming lack of suitable women. But, actually, a CDC study found that 43% of senior high school girls were virgins in 2015, and thisContinue reading “Lonely Virgins”
Lack Of Traditional Values Destroys Nations In Three Generations
Lori, at The Transformed Wife, ponders the idea that the “lack of traditional values destroys nations in three generations.” Be sure to click the links. Yesterday, our pastor said that an atheist man set out to figure out what destroys nations. His conclusion was that the leaving of morals (disintegration of family and unbound sexuality) is whatContinue reading “Lack Of Traditional Values Destroys Nations In Three Generations”

Egg Freezing is Fantasy
Women getting to about 35 and freezing their eggs has become popular. I think it is little more than fantasy and delusion. Upfront, the process has an official success rate of 14.8%. But, that even assumes that we successfully get to the point of actually wanting to unfreeze those eggs, for example by finding aContinue reading “Egg Freezing is Fantasy”
