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”
The Good Wife Level 3
The Good Wife Level 3 is highly able and ambitious, although again in a somewhat conventional way. You can often find this sort of woman in affluent, higher-income neighborhoods. Unlike many of those women, however, she is also Good — she does not cancel out her now-impressive list of virtues by an ever-growing list ofContinue reading “The Good Wife Level 3”
The Good Wife Level 2
We continue up our somewhat arbitrary hierarchy of good wifery, with the Good Wife Level 2. This woman has some ambitions to be above average, and to exceed the norms of her time and milieu. These ambitions tend to be, themselves, somewhat conventional in their nature — they are things that everyone agrees are “better.”Continue reading “The Good Wife Level 2”
The Good Wife: Level 1
Following the example of Marie Robinson, of providing an ideal which serves as a model to follow, I think I will do a series about a “good wife.” This will involve several levels of increasing complexity. In practice, things are not so well defined as this — there could be a woman that does thingsContinue reading “The Good Wife: Level 1”
Rules For Contraception
There is a rule for contraception, and it is this: No female contraception. In practice, this means condoms, or solutions such as vasectomy. (I don’t recommend that men cut their balls off.) Besides the many problems with birth control pills (more here), all female contraception (IUDs, diaphragms, spermicide, etc.) represent the female’s intent to becomeContinue reading “Rules For Contraception”
