If courtship is difficult to imagine today, arranged marriage is so totally alien to us that it rarely even crosses people’s minds as a possibility. But — listen up, Disney Princess girls — it was the way actual princesses got married for centuries. I mention this in respect to the difficulties of constructing a TraditionalContinue reading “Maybe We Should Have Arranged Marriages?”

Men Before Marriage
In the era of Courtship (before 1920), young women generally lived at their father’s house until they were married. This produced a desirable wife — young, virginal, innocent, well-trained, well-cared-for, horny as heck and anxious for a home and husband of her own. But, a young man who lived at his father’s house was notContinue reading “Men Before Marriage”
Characteristics of Courtship
I have been enjoying this summary by Sigma Frame about the state of “courtship models” today. But, as I have said, I do not want to repeat this analysis, which has been very well done by others, nor particularly add to it, since I think we have mostly done enough by this point, and whatContinue reading “Characteristics of Courtship”
Can’t Turn A Hoe Into A Housewife
It is said that “you can’t turn a hoe [slut, whore] into a housewife.” Today, we have statistics on that. Indeed, socialpathology.blogspot.com has had quite a lot of insightful material on precisely this topic.

Age of Marriage, 2015
Unfortunately, some statistics on marriage are hard to interpret. For example, if everyone got married at age 26, then the “percentage of people age 20-30 who are married” would be 50%. This is a better site for understanding when people get married, or got married in 2010-2015, the period of data collection. Percentage of PeopleContinue reading “Age of Marriage, 2015”
What To Do
Sigma Frame identifies the problem that we are addressing here: One thing that the Church, and young Christians need the most these days, is a trustworthy path towards a solid marriage. Right now, young people are forced to play by the world’s playbook if they ever hope to establish any type of relationship with theContinue reading “What To Do”
The Good Wife Level 5
The Good Wife Level 5 understands that, from her kitchen table, she works the raw material of civilization and culture. Every act, for her, takes on significance for the evolution of society, of the nation, and for humanity as a whole. This includes even drinking coffee — or perhaps she should not drink coffee? WhatContinue reading “The Good Wife Level 5”
No Kissing
In traditional courtship, as practiced in the West until about 1920, and also as practiced most everywhere else as well, not only is there no sex before marriage, but there is not much of anything else, either. No kissing above the wrist. When the husband kissed the bride at the wedding ceremony, it was, ideally,Continue reading “No Kissing”
More On Female Birth Control
Sigma Frame has had a nice series on birth control, including hormonal birth control. Our principle is: male birth control only, which basically means: condoms. https://sigmaframe.wordpress.com/abortion-and-birth-control/
The Good Wife Level 4
If the Good Wife Level 3 is ambitious and conventional, the Good Wife Level 4 is ambitious and unconventional. Her ambitions take her beyond the mainstream norms, which she finds only an exercise in mediocrity, or even quite sinister and destructive. Thus, she becomes something of an oddball; an experimenter; an explorer; and many peopleContinue reading “The Good Wife Level 4”
