The last four weeks we’ve looked at the purity movement: what it is, the things it was right about and the two posts on what it was wrong about (which you can find here and here). You may be thinking, so what? What does a movement in the late 90’s early 2000’s have to do with life today? As I’ve …

Last week’s blog post listed four of the 8 major flaws that the purity movement had. While these weren’t things the purity movement set out to do, they were unintended consequences of its main messages about purity, sexuality, etc. We left off with problem number four last week, so we’ll pick up with number five this week. 5. Unhealthy obsession …

Last week on the blog, we looked at some things that the purity movement got right. There were some good things about the movement, things that we need to remember and embrace.

This month on the blog, we’ve looked at the various ways men and women are different. Our bodies are different. Because of these differences, we think differently and our brains don’t function the same way. This, in turn, causes us to have different priorities.

The last two weeks we’ve looked at how men and women are different both in the way their bodies function and in the way that they think. These differences in physical make up and ways of thinking cause males and females to have different priorities. Of course, these priority differences are generalities. Every time we make a statement about men …

Last week’s blog post was about how men and women are different physically. Our physical differences are not the only distinctive. We also think and feel differently. This isn’t just popular opinion.

In my humble opinion, February is the worst month (you can read more about my feelings here). You just want winter to be over, but it’s still in full force.
