I am reading this really, really great book by James Dobson called What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women (written in 1975 ... before I was born). It is pretty profound in what it is speaking about. The same issues individuals and marriages are facing today ... people were facing 30+ years ago. I guess Solomon had it right when he said that there is nothing new under the sun!
I did find this one section particularly interesting...
'Mankind has known intuitively for at least fifty centuries that indiscriminative sexual activity represented both an individual and a corporate threat to survival. The wisdom of those years has now been documented. Anthropologist J. D. Unwin conducted an exhaustive study of the eighty-eight civilizations which have existed in the history of the world. Each culture has reflected a similar life cycle, beginning with a strict code of sexual conduct and ending with the demand for complete 'freedom' to express individual passion. Unwin reports that every society which extended sexual premissiveness to its people was soon to perish. There have been no exceptions!'
Wow...
Enjoy your weekend!
