"contentment in singleness" doesn't require you to stop desiring marriage & family. it doesn't require you to stop pursuing marriage & family.

Christians are called to be content in any situation--that doesn't mean we abandon all our good desires and concrete goals.

contentment is to trust/rest in God's promises to love you, provide for you, and make you holy.

you can do all of those things, and earnestly want and seek a husband.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22

"Favor from the Lord" meaning, of course, blessing as the result of a life molded by wisdom.

Now, how can one find a good wife without seeking? Seek without wanting? And how can wisdom and contentment be mutually exclusive?

Considering the rise of forced-birth, anti divorce extremists in this country, people really need to appreciate the no marriage no bio kids norms/values of the Jedi

An Apology from a man to his future wife!

DearFutureWife, I know, I don't know you. But yet I want to apologize to you.

I'm Sorry...

Because I haven't so far asked for your hand in marriage.

I want to be your husband to protect your Chastity and mine.

I want to be your husband to preserve you from fitnah of our time, where most of the boys and girls are engaged in Haraam Relationship just to fulfil their desires (physical or emotional).

But it is the decree of Allah. And He will make us together at proper time. May be, I'm not completely ready, because to live In our society. A man needs a home and a good job to provide for his family.

I'm sorry my dear future wife. But we must be patient. Insha'Allah soon Allah will make us together.

Remember me in your Dua's As I remember you in my Dua.

Lets pray that Allah make us together soon from his bounty.

O'Allah please grant all brothers & sisters a pious, loving & caring spouse soon Ameen.

let us remember that marriage is intrinsically tied to capitalism and exists in its current form so that property could be passed through patrilineal lines. the only way a man could ensure that a woman was having HIS baby was to make her his property. and that was so important when wealth and status was tied to property so it was necessary to have a (male) heir to pass it down to. i am not against marriage as a concept but we need to remember that it IS an oppressive institution for women and women should consider it w that in mind. the patriarchal roots of our existing marriage institution have not been erased even with the progress that has been made.

I was thinking about Daisy Miller and how I hated it because of how misogynistic it feels. strangely enough, I think the novel itself isn't misogynistic, even though most of its characters are. I came to the conclusion that Winterbourne from has the vibes of a guy who supports women's sexual liberation not least of all because it means he gets to fuck with no strings attached. and he's the novel's most feminist-adjacent character! (beside Daisy, of course) even though he too kind of "manic pixie dream girl"s Daisy and sees her as a desirable, fascinating object rather than a human being.

Don’t think about Iruka trying to adopt Naruto and having his petition for adoption denied because he’s legally too young to adopt

I have a question for you! Do you know what sort of garment unmarried noble girls would wear? And i mean very noble women- i need it for a reference :D

Hi! That truly depends on what time period you are talking + what you mean by noble + how old is the girl ^^;

A Heian girl will not wear the same as an Edo one, same for a noble (kuge) or samurai (buke) daughter

As a woman who never wanted children or marriage, I can fully relate to this.

not to sound like an annoying old person, but if you are a beginner, you don't really deserve to be paid more than even someone with 3 times your experience

i was chatting with some of the highschoolers from my school and i was shocked to learn that they are expecting to be paid at least 10000 lei once they graduate from university

i get it that some of them got even 4800 lei by selling shawarma in summer, so they think that a degree in the future will immediately make them desirable and that employees will desperately want them, but it's not like this

i was a beginner and my salary was shit many times because i had no experience, so i don't want them to be taken advantage of like i was, but how about being a bit more down to earth with expectations

each new generation comes with new things to teach the older ones and other advantages, but the lack of experience is a very heavy burden and you are limited - there is actually very little you can offer during your first years

Random worldbuilding: A culture where everyone's social status is expressed through how their hair is braided.

Children all have the same kind of a simple, unisex "child's braid" which is meant for their parents to be easy to do - traditionally boys were only taught how to do a "wife's braid" while women braid both their husbands and their children, but a modern man is naturally an attentive father and contributes to both cleaning and feeding, and clothing and braiding his children.

While this kind of knowledge is more accessible in the modern age, the art of braiding is still seen as an intimate family thing, and it's not unusual for a youth to come out to their parents by the way of braids - for example a daughter asking her father to teach her how to do the "wife's braid", or a son asking her mother how to weave the "husband braid" for their future spouse. Or a trans kid asking their parents to give them the other gender's braid when it's time to transition from the child braid into the "unmarried youth" one.

It is nonetheless still somewhat common to see an older gay man with a "wife's braid" or two older women both wearing "husband braids", because that was the only way they were taught to braid a future partner's hair when they were young. They could learn the "appropriate" braid now, but it has become a part of the culture, an old-fashioned gay thing to do. It's pride - if you wear this braid to show that you're an adult with a spouse, why try to hide who braids your hair every morning?

The only braid that one is expected to do on themselves is the widow's braid - the only one that is also unisex, braided in reverse from the simple children's braid. Sometimes, young unmarried adults who have no interest in starting a family switch directly into wearing a widow's braid to signify that they are not looking for a partner and are independent adults on their own.

Maybe the queerstake can give their input on this because a thing that happened in my Sunday School class kinda ruffled me the wrong way. Someone in the class (not the teacher, thankfully) commented something along the lines of "People seem to say 'I'm a child of God but I'm also [this other thing], so I'm going to filter the gospel through [this other thing]' but really, those things are supposed to be swallowed up in Christ. And I've seen so many people fall away from the gospel because of it."It was like the guy was implying that people "fall away from the church" because of this mindset and that prioritizing anything about ourselves other than being a child of God means we won't, or maybe even can't, stay on the path to God.

But like... Aren't we also all diverse individuals? Don't we all have such different life experiences? How can we do anything other than filter the things we learn, even gospel topics, through those life experiences? And yes, it's part of progressing to try and see things from God's point of view and see things from a higher perspective, but like... We can't truly erase those differences about ourselves even while being on the path of Christ, right?
