Greetings Semi,

I have pondered those wonderful thoughs myself, many, many times. Just said a different way.

It has been my observation that most men are somewhere between here:


1 Corinthians 7:9(Whole Chapter)
But if they cannot contain themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
[ol][/ol]


and here:


Malachi 2:15(Whole Chapter)
And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And why one? That He might seek a godly seed! Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.


in their relationships with their wife/fairer sex, at least I was.

"As for living with the psycho", the scripture says this:

Proverbs 21:19 (Whole Chapter)
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

and this:

Proverbs 27:15 (Whole Chapter)
A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

So there is a bit of truth in the picture and words, but there is ample evidenced that it is the woman who goes mad for lack of love and the man who has to leave for anger or bitterness--so it seems you wrote of the psycho of men, but it is really the other way around in my experience.

However the bottom line that I have witnessed is this:

Passage John 15:5:
I am the vine;(A) you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that(B) bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

We all must seek God, because apart from him we cannot know love or live our life in harmony (with anyone). I say this because I've "been there done that" on both sides of the fence. I hope nobody considers this "preaching", it is not, it is just my observation on "life and love", and what I have experiencedand >>>what matters most in this world<<<. We all are Humpty Dumpty's broken in many ways and anyone that has lived with me for 25 years (my 2nd wife) is both a saint and knows howl am broken and still a "worken in progress". Only Christ can mend a broken heart or a broken life. As evidence of that, I ask, do you see many "Amish in dispair" (living alone in a one room shack), when they are old and physically broken down? Nope, the next generation is their social security, and the hope of the life to come as their eternal security. So Semi, I leave you those "touching"thoughts for you to ponder.

Blessing in Christ who perfects our souls and makes use acceptable to the Father, cause we know who we are,
Chap
