And this is why I've built up an inescapable dungeon.

Er... I mean, set of unbreakable marriage vows.

I guess for some reason, men seem a little less intimated if I word it the second way.
Some guys like dungeons.

I keep the fridge well-stocked.

I find that prisoners--er, potential dates--don't seem to complain as much that way.
Pizza, burgers, fried chicken, and beer...... you won't get any complaints.

I've found one key thing is to keep the beer COLD.

Oh my goodness.

Do they ever holler if the beer isn't cold.

Unless, of course, I happen to capture, er, ask out, a German.

Hmm, this could work. Think of the money I'd save on refrigeration costs.

I'm indifferent to my beer being cold.... unless it's a Spaten Optimizer, or a Koribian.... that needs to be room temp.

Wow, it's almost like I want to be locked in Seouls dungeon. Weird...

I don't disagree with anything you wrote.

But...

People enter that covenant to have sex.
Since marriage cost money........
Something my brother's future-FIL was saying about his own daughter, "Why buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free?" (Also, the question that got bro to marry her. lol)

In this day and age, you can get all the sex you want apart from marriage. So, exactly why do you think anyone marries for the sex?

The reason wives cannot properly sumit is because their husbands do not properly love. If a man really loved his wife like his own body her care and comfort would be very important in his eyes.

What she thought on a matter would be important also, true love will not dismiss another's dreams and schemes. If you loved like that, there would be little room for selfishness.

I agree with you, almost completely. The two things I disagree with are:
1. "The reason wives" as if this is a problem for most, or all wives.
2. Why would any woman marry a man she can't submit to?

I wouldn't have married him had I not seen this was a dude who was seriously committed to God and loved me. God is the anchor. The one that keeps us grounded enough that maybe we do circle the anchor sometimes, but the anchor holds us where we're supposed to be. Otherwise, he could change his mind more often than changing underwear. I knew his anchor, and I knew how far he'd go for me. That's why I submit. Why would I marry someone unworthy to submit to?

This is a fantastic idea for my Valentine's Cards next year.

I will hand out little slips of paper that say, "Do You Want to Be Locked Up in My Dungeon?"

And the boxes will be: 1. Yes--will sign a waiver. 2. No--am drawing up a restraining order. 3. Do you offer cold beer and a large screen TV.

Cause I'm a Baptist, and I don't want to go to hell.

You know, whenever I was living in the UK, they actually, well, leastways some of them, kept their Bitter (some sort of beer that doesn't taste good:p) warm.

I've always loved the thought of capturing (er, dating) a man from the UK--I just love the accents there.

And with all the money I'll save from not having to refrigerate all that beer... I just might be able to afford the travel costs. :D

It's way cheaper than Lager too, so it's a win/win for sure lol.

My grandma said that too. Every little thing carried some possibility of winding up in hell. Drinking? Straight to hell. Scantily clad, off to hell you go! Mowing the lawn on a Sunday? Hellbound! Foul language? Butt whippin and then off to hell lol.

I loved my Grandma but she could be something fierce at times.

I think I was even more scared of her butt whoopin' than I was of hell.
