Emotional Survival of the Most Desperate Kind
Anyone reading through the postings of the participants in this forum should understand the larger quandary of what is being presented; of a demonstrated fracture of fragile human emotions caused by ancient misunderstandings of human relations of the most basic nature; an attack on the basic fundamental familial associations that form the most essential element of the survival of the species. It speaks to the darkest and basest psychological aspects of being human, an essence of which if not properly understood, actually leads to a destructive path from which is has been sufficiently shown in history that it cannot be survived.
In parting observance of this particularly heady topic of dysfunctional relationship issues, it is exquisitely apparent that human courting of such relationships are of the most delicate in nature due to the fact that the most internal desires between men and women are, as they have been depicted, worlds apart. This is most explicitly detailed here. Further shown, societal perceptions are a factor when considering that in some surviving cultures, there has been handed down archaic and inhumane practices of antisocial behavior, the manifestations of which occur in modern times due to the breakdown of appropriate attitudes towards civil society.
Building a civil society based upon a moral obligation requires the observance of appropriate conduct between the male and female in starting a future together and not the randomized tribal hunter/warrior seeking to fulfill the impassionate desires of building a polygamous family. It was brought to America in cultic observances of a quasi-Christianesque copy of similar practices in Biblical times; built never truly authorized or authenticated according to the founder of the true Church, the Savior Himself. It only happened when the pride of mankind sought to alter what was not originally ordained. This is what happens when men think they know better than the Eternal Sovereign; and the loss of honoring women becomes the sacrifice.
This is best understood by believing the Nazarene knew what He was talking about and humanity needs to stop making its own rules. The Almighty made it one man and one woman for a reason because it has a Divine purpose; what arrogance to think man is smart enough to attempt doing it different. Its failure is what will lead to mankind's destruction.
For forty plus years in this observer's observation of such things, it does not fail in proving the truth that only the Eternal Sovereign knows what is best in following His Savior in His truth. Exploring that truth deep in the eyes of one's spouse verifies that in otherwise inexplicable joy.
