It’s 2019 and all too easy to dismiss or even mock women in bonnets and men with colonial wardrobes. And don’t get me wrong the “Quiverfull” movement is replete with problems and corruptions.
But perhaps the joke is on us, in mainstream society. That perhaps: Amish types really do, not only have bigger families — but better and more happening sex lives.
That perhaps: one of the main reasons why mainstream America is at its most emotionally unhealthy it’s ever been (as opioid addiction and other evidences point to) has to do with failure to pursue, achieve, and experience genuine, INTIMACY on GOD’S terms. Not just between opposite sexes within marriage, but intimacy and connection in general.
Too many things contracepting and getting in the way. And when you literally INVITE such instruments of blockage into what is supposed to be the most intimate and ‘sexy’ relationship of all...how much more will all other relational interactions suffer?
I think a big component of the problem is the advent of the 24 hour news cycle, smart phones and social media. It’s hard for me to imagine someone looking back in the year 2060 and thinking that these things were really great for society.
