I made a disastrous decision picking a wife because of this logic. I felt I had to pick a never married, Christian woman. I got a narcissistic, mentally abusive woman. I made a faith based decision and thought it was my calling from God to help her grow as a Christian and convert her family. The church told me to stick it out with her and continue to love her, to please God. I lost my faith in God after two years with her, decided to love myself and I divorced her after four years. Leaving Christianity and her was the best decisions I’ve ever made for my mental health.

Christians: *get married by age 20 to someone they barely know, pumps out 2 kids in 3 years, then spend all their free time hating their spouse & avoiding their kids*
Also Christians: "Why aren't you married yet, heathen? Can't you see how happy I am?"

Red flag. Abort mission. Disengage. Retreat.

“Submit your biology to your theology” is a horrifying slogan lmao

The more I see of them, the more I'm convinced Nate and Sutton actively hate each other.
Also, he leaves their small child crying?? Dude, you're a bad dad.
Yes, I know that prolonged crying can be annoying for adults, but here's the thing; this is the only way for your little ones to communicate that something is wrong and they don't like it. You are their sole provider. If you don't "attend to his crying" you are telling him "you don't matter". Which is about right for these types.

“They are someone’s daughter? They are someone’s mother? Maybe, sure! But you know who else they are? *Someone.* They are *someone.*” PREACH!! (haha no pun intended!) Omg I have never heard it phrased better! 🙌🏻

Abusers typically put up a front and act like great people and only drop the facade once the victim is trapped. Making people think they can know someone's character well enough to marry them after 4-6 freaking months is so dangerous. I believe you can't truly know someone until you live with them for a while.

Asking people to say Amen at your service is like asking people to laugh at a comedy show 😂

I look back and laugh sometimes. I met my husband when we were both christians, and then we proceeded to deconstruct together. It's been a wild ride.

A good 60% of the Christian marriage ‘traditions’ are just stuff they got from the Romans, who got stuff from the Greeks; The flower-girl, the white if you’re a virgin, the bride’s side going on the left, the groom’s side going on the right… that’s actually all left overs from the Temple of Hera - who um, permitted two women or two men to get married, yet were still super against SA.

Just saying, the goddess who turned a nymph into an echo for distracting her from catching her husband cheating, is apparently more open minded than Jesus, but her ceremony’s are still good enough to swipe.

Paul and Morgan talking about hugs reminds me of a teacher I had during middle school who forbade children from hugging each other because she thought kids hugging was them being sinful and lusty. She got hugs banned, especially for a bunch of 12/13 year olds, but none of the kids could hug because of this one fanatically Christian and very sex-obsessed woman...

"if she didn't want to marry me in a year, I would've been out".
How can you claim to love someone if you were willing to dump her over something so painfully trivial?

My skin tried to crawl off my body every time I hear women trying to bring up valid arguments or points in this video with their partners and their partner just... blatantly disrespect them. Just...

Purity culture and "dating to marry" absolutely ruined me psychologically. Still haven't fully recovered.

[nataschavisser]

Ugh, the soul tie thing. I had a bout of depression when I was 16 or so and my mom took me to a Christian counselor. My brother left for college and I was feeling really lonely. The counselor told me I had a "soul tie" relationship with my brother that will interfere with my future relationship with my husband. The more I reflect on this, the more angry I get. My parents' marriage was misserable and my brother and I helped each other deal with our situation. Having him leave, left me without recourse. But this counselor felt it necessary to tinge our relationship with shades of incest. Also, I am ace and always had zero interest in men or in getting married.

Refusing to make a sandwich for your partner to "spend quiet time with God" is an insane thing to say.
