Is it really fair to compare Holly Patraeus to a woman so much younger, and who has not lived the same life circumstances?
“Has not [the LORD] made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.” Malachi 2:15 NIV
First of all, I’m making light of this for discussion purposes, and I am sorry to have stirred up all the prudes.
Second, I am compaing Holly to the General. They are the same age or close. She has not taken care of herself. He has.
I’m comparing Holly to other women in the mid 50 to 60 range. She looks 75.
And again, I am not the official marriage counselor here nor the divorce attorney. I do however reserve my right to use the First Amendment to exercise my observations.
