Now me, I'm never going to speak out against marriage. I'm going to speak out against the fact that people aren't living in a fashion worthy of marriage. When done right, marriage is a beautiful thing. This is why I stress the importance of integrity and doing what you say you are going to do. That is the only way marriage or any sort of long-term commitment will work.
I can't speak out against marriage or long-term relationships because I know that when they are working right, they are way more beautiful than living that 'playa' lifestyle. The reason many men choose to engage in the playa lifestyle in this day and age is because they don't feel like they can trust the woman they have come across. You might get a whole bunch of sex with different women, but what you also get are a whole bunch of worries on your mind. Is she pregnant? Will she pass me any stds? Any jealous husbands on the horizon? Does she even honestly have any love for me or is this just us quickly satisfying the lusts of our flesh?
When relationships are DONE RIGHT, you have a partner who is there for you thick and thin, who you are also building a true FAMILY with. Family is way, way more important than some weak ego-pumping you get from smashing a whole bunch of women. Family traditions, family lineage, all of that is disappearing because of the utter nonsense we are engaging in this day and age. Kids being able to always have access to their fathers, to see their grandparents, etc... Kids are being robbed with this utter nonsense we are engaging in this day and age. We have to turn the tide.
Relationships have to be built on trustworthiness and respect. If that's not there, then there simply is no relationship. Love is a sort of fickle seed that has requirements to actually be able to grow. The soil has to be fertile with trustworthiness and watered with respect. As a man, you have to be the leader and you have to embody both of these things FIRST. We cannot sit around and wait for women to do it. That's the burden of leadership. We also have to stress the importance of these two factors in our dealings with women. In other words, we have to be TEACHERS.
This is the depth of 'manhood'. Having a johnson swinging between your legs doesn't qualify you as being a man. In many of the older societies, you had 'rites of manhood', or in other words, tests that a boy had to pass in order to be respected as a man in society. Manhood wasn't a title just handed out liberally. It was something that had to be earned. Men also taught men how to act in a fashion that was constructive to the overall society.
This is why this thread is important. Just because you were born male doesn't mean anything. You have to continually study manhood and to embrace it in your life. This is why I am emphasizing to think BIGGER than merely catching women. God has given you the task of being the architect for you and yours... What sort of residence will you build for your future family? One that will collapse or one that is able to stand strong through turbulent times?
This is exactly how I feel. Y'all ever notice how I don't speak out against marriage on this forum? It's because I know it can work, but these cats don't hear me. I've seen people whose relationships have gone on for decades... and I strive to have that kind of thing in my life.
