lorrie, you did strike a nerve, and yes I was defensive, and for good reason. Maybe you should re-read what you said. What I was nauseated by was your opinion of the male sex. You indicated that you believe that no man is capable of remaining faithful to a partner to whom they have vowed to remain faithful to, as in the vows spoken during the ceremony beginning the estate of holy matrimony. I sure have no idea who you have as friends and associates, and neither do I know your family, including parents, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands, etc. But somehow through your life's associations you have evidently been surrounded by men incapable of keeping promises made in so-called committed relationships. That's sad. There is a better way, lorrie, and I pray you find that better way some day, so that you too can have your faith restored. There is only one absolutely solid rock that human beings can count on, and that is that sure knowledge which is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. From that can come happiness, peace and joy, in spite of the unhappiness and betrayals we see around us. It is definitely possible that when two people who have an unshakable faith in the only thing that is unshakable, that there can be, in spite of this fleshly body we have, a committed loving relationship without fear of betrayal by the other. On this foundation can be built up a lifetime of trust, peace, security and joy between two people in a committed loving relationship. Out of hundreds of married couples that I know who are friends and acquaintences, the overwhelming majority are happily and purposefully faithful to their spouses. I think most of the Western civilization prefers that kind of relationship, as opposed to other relationships such as so-called "open marriages" or the multiple-wives scene.
