I can’t speak for all men, but many men are not affirmed at home and the women thinks her marriage is fine while the man suffers. When that happens, he’s going to be vulnerable to affirmations from the outside.
I’m not excusing him, but I know men are especially vulnerable to outside affirmations because they are often never affirmed during the normal course of their day and that leaves them vulnerable, especially if they are in Washington for weeks at a time and the wife doesn’t take the time to try and love her husband from a distance.
It’s often the same for the woman and the man is not affirming her attractiveness to him.
Exactly, why do people think they can work with the opposite sex, look your best, be on best behavior then come home and the spouses give each other the left overs. Both spouses working is why divorce is rampant but everyone thinks they can beat the odds. The risk isnt worth it.
You make very good points.
I literally cannot comprehend someone of that age throwing everything away because some other flabby, ageing lonely loser paid attention to you. But that type of person is exactly the kind of person I think goes into politics.
“Affirmed”? Lol. Puhleez. Men are out in the world stroking their egos and don’t even know who they are coming home to. They get home and what, their wife is supposed to act like some kind of groupie? Listen, this is the woman who has heard you fart in the middle of the night, has put your underbars through the wash, has seen you drink too much and barf, get real. Be happy you have a home to come home to. Put some effort into treating your wife, the mother of your children with respect, caring and decency.
Because they are not affirmed in Christ.
