One of my best friend's belief is that ALL men cheat. I disagree. We have had this debate for almost 10 years now. "It is in a man's genetics", my friend says. I argue that there are some men who possess the discipline to remain faithful to just one woman. However if you looked over my "love history" you would think that I would have a different mind set. BUT I think about Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Walter Whitmore (my grandfather) and Rev. Dr. Grainger Browning, just to name a few, and I simply can not accept that "All Men Cheat".
I will however agree that relationships can be challenging but not impossible, push you to the edge but lift you to higher levels, test your patience but fill you with love beyond measure, makes you vulnerable yet so safe and secure. I have witnessed true love and devotion and will never be able to accept my friend's belief.
Love is beautiful and you should never give your love to someone who is incapable of giving love back.
Peace & Love,
Rae

The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.

I'm inclined to believe that yes, it's in a man's genetics to cheat.. However, not all men cheat in every relationship. Im sure at some point in a man's life it's just not worth the guilt. And you know, it's funny how a man can truly love his partner but the minute there is less action in the bedroom, he feels he is inclined to seek sex elsewhere. I have a friend who has been married probably less than a year. He IM'd me one night and was complaining that his wife has been withholding sex for about 3 weeks due to an argument. He felt that give him the right go outside the marriage. Im like, are you kidding me! You are willing to risk what you have with your wife for a piece of ass because she is withholding. I told him, "you better work it out". Do whatever it takes to get back in her good graces.. Now, I don't agree that we should withold sex as it does open the door for a man to cheat. We need to keep in mind the things that really make a man happy and remain at home.. Food, Sex, and Attention... Angela
ReplyDeleteAs a male, I can say honestly that disciple is a difficult thing; but not just for men. Temptation is great; especially when there is so much opportunity out there. The thing that keeps myself, and other men honest is simple, it’s love and understanding. It’s the only thing that separates us from the animals. Both men and women are faced with temptation on many occasions. I would say that women cheat mentally much more than men cheat physically. They have a tendency to think of that old boyfriend or the new guy that pays attention to them when the husband is too tired or forgets that his wife has needs; and that he has to learn and continue to talk to her in her love language.
ReplyDeleteIt’s funny I just completed getting certified in family wellness and we as people have a strong reluctance to admit that we need to learn more about our spouses and their needs.
Have any of you ever read Joyce Myers’ “Battle field of the Mind”?
Nice conversation, it’s healthy. Males are stakeholders too. You may want to consider asking a couple what they think about this subject.
This is just an opinion!!
Thank you for the book recommendation. I will defiantely check it out.
