“The husband being the ‘head’ of the woman means the protecter, the overseer, the one that watches upon. You’re making sure she’s safe, not becoming her boss. And the wife yielding herself and adapting is the word ‘submit’, it doesn’t mean you’re his slave.”

The fake trad men on here: I can’t read most of this but I see “boss” and “slave” so it’s all good.
They can start having sex as soon or as far away from their wedding night as they feel comfortable with.
However, you do have to consummate your marriage if you are Catholic. The Church also encourages the practice of natural family planning, so if you are trying to avoid pregnancy that might mean abstaining from relations until a later date from your wedding, until you are infertile or at certain periods in your marriage, but if you don’t consummate your marriage (as a Catholic) that can be grounds for an annulment from my understanding.
Ok but what about Mary and Joseph though? They never consummated their marriage. Why is that a bad thing? Seriously, someone tell me
Because Mary was a virgin dedicated to God’s service, who was then chosen to be His mother, and Joseph was to be her guardian. Furthermore, the Holy Family’s purpose was to raise up the Savior before He would start His ministry, not emulate marriage for other people to copy. They had a valid marriage, but it was a special exception, considering they were raising God in the flesh Himself.
My kink is husbands & wives who are still portrayed as very much in love with each other, because even after years of commitment and kids, they still talk to each other, go on fun random adventures and try new things. No resentment. No portrayal of marriage as a chore. Just actual love.
When you get married to your best friend, it’s THE BEST. Take note, though, you also will still need other friends, too That doesn’t mean that person isn’t enough in their role in your life, it just means you need other people, too (you both do!) and shouldn’t only rely on one person for everything- no one person can be everything for you, ever. Unless it’s Jesus, which is why it’s so important He’s central to all your other relationships. So if you think ‘Imma marry my best friend and that will be the only friend I need once I have them’ you’re wrong. Keep cultivating other meaningful relationships. None will replace or be the same as your romantic partner bestie, but you both still need other people in your life you can depend on and grow with.
Planning our wedding has been eye-opening — there is so much emphasis on the external, on how beautiful or fancy the day can be, the venue, the vendors, etc. It’s the the “Wedding Industrial Complex.” But the most important part about getting married is preparing for the Marriage, not the wedding. This means becoming the two best people we can be, growing in love, and preparing for the Sacrament — asking for God’s help to help share His love with each other and the world. We are a work in progress and always will be this side of Heaven, but what a joy that work is when it is done in and for Jesus our Lord. – Lila Rose
Invest in your marriage, guys. Children naturally desire their parents to love each other in a permanent and public commitment, they deserve nothing less.
And don’t ever have a child to ‘fix’ a relationship. The child owes you nothing and if you and your spouse are unable to properly love another adult on an equal footing, how can you expect to properly love a completely dependent child? Fix the relationship yourself. Like a grown-up does.
FUCK YOU AND YOUR BITTER JEALOUS LONELINESS HOWARD STERN
YES SO GOOD!!!!!
And she will be a completely different woman, but that’s alright.
Most folks with this guy’s mindset will go far in life.
I’m still proud of the fact that a couple of years ago, I tweeted to Sarah Michelle Gellar and asked if Stern had paid up on his bet. To my great surprise, she actually replied and said he hadn’t and he owed them money. 😂😂
Reblog for Fred and Daphne to get their money
Don’t @ me about Justin Bieber, people can change, healthy celebrity relationships are possible, marriage can be for your lifetime if you ACTUALLY want it to be and WORK FOR IT (excluding all cases of abuse, then fucking leave their ass)
