Is he confident? Is he resourceful? I have, at times, been resentful to be valued for what I can bring home. At least, women are sought for who THEY ARE, albeit mostly physical. At least, they can have the satisfaction that they are valued not for what they can do, but for who they are right at that moment. Unfortunately, their beauty is going to fade. Is that a recipe for insecurity and depression, or what?

I can put it this way then: how many of us know people who are in an unhappy marriage? Unhappy relationship? Does it involve money? We can all say shame on the Asphalt Prince for cheating on his loving wife. But then again, how do we know his wife is loving? Not cheating herself? Did not marry the dude for money?
Ok, then to bring the point further closer to home....let's just say that everything is fine, wife is happy, you're happy. But you meet this hot young thing, she says she is into you and all, and you know you won't get caught. Do you feel tempted to have a no-strings roll in the hay, or do you abstain because of a higher standard? Do you abstain because your fear of God is greater than your temptation? I know what my answer is, but I also know there has to be a thousand different answers out there as well. It goes to how you see yourself.
