Pearl - “The Marriage Contract Christian Men DON'T Understand” @JustPearlyThings

00:00:00.000 In my professional ghostwriting experience, in that world, I meet a number of people who are trying to BS themselves.

00:00:07.140 And I think we all have a tendency to cope.

00:00:10.060 Cope, cope, cope, cope, cope, cope.

00:00:11.260 Look, and I love coping.

00:00:12.900 Cope about everything.

00:00:14.340 Most of us are lying to ourselves about most things most of the time.

00:00:18.320 Mostly.

00:00:19.660 And I think on this subject, we're no different.

00:00:22.900 There's no better liar than someone to themselves.

00:00:26.040 The Bible says one thing about a marriage, and, you know, you go and you get married,

00:00:31.480 and there's expectations for her role, but legally, like, you guys need to look up your

00:00:39.220 state, and every state is different, every county is different, but you really need to

00:00:42.360 look up what you're getting.

00:00:44.100 And then there will be the libertarian Christians, you know, who are all about, like, let's get

00:00:48.000 government out of the business of marriage entirely, okay?

00:00:51.400 So, to them, I will ask, okay, so when you got married, you didn't get a marriage.

00:00:55.120 license you just went to a church right oh no we got the marriage license okay so even even you

00:00:59.860 are not keeping government out of the business your own marriage isn't that interesting oh well

00:01:06.600 let's put the tax benefits in okay it's about money really you're gonna you're gonna throw

00:01:11.200 away your faith for 30 pieces of silver you're gonna throw away your faith well you know technically

00:01:15.940 even legally like i can't enforce marriage and you know the marriage contract anyway because i

00:01:20.220 can't make her tell me what to do or whatever right this is what i tell people the christian

00:01:24.520 marriage is illegal it's gaslighting i love this phrase christian marriage is illegal i love that

00:01:30.600 that's a great reframe there is no reality where a husband can force his wife to obey him even

00:01:35.980 though that is specifically what the bible says just read your just read your project open open

00:01:40.820 the bible read the bible open the bible i don't know what it's not just open the bible okay not

00:01:44.880 that hard people the pushback that i get on this matter parallels to the pushback i also have been

00:01:51.780 seeing from my viral rage bait, people call it, on the matter of single bombs and on stay-at-home

00:01:59.260 bombs. And here is where there's a bizarre oscillation between the two extremes I talk

00:02:04.700 about. I sound like the radical feminist, you know, Joshua Turf Lysak. And then over there,

00:02:10.380 I'm like, oh, okay, so you're basically Rolo Jr. or something like that. Think about this for a

00:02:17.140 second if you as a guy if you want to have kids and you feel like you may have missed your boat 0.50

00:02:21.840 a single mom is a woman who has demonstrated fertility successfully isn't isn't that what

00:02:28.000 you want if you're concerned that this boat has passed you by and now you've got a chance in your 0.99

00:02:31.940 30s maybe even 40s and here's a maybe slightly younger woman who has some runway left so to 1.00

00:02:36.840 speak would you not i mean that's just and have look at look at how many how many um uh single 1.00

00:02:43.380 mothers are there still of childbearing age. Guys. And they're hotter, right? 0.69

00:02:47.680 Full frame. Stepdad. Reframe. Dad who stepped up.
