Confessions of a Recovering Feminist

[@markrobbins1018]

Mr. John, I truly believe that your wife should be on your show weekly, American women and girls desperately need to hear her wisdom and advice

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

Yes!!! I second that motion

[@AllOuttaSpoons]

Amen!! Was thinking the same thing!

[@ZeaDabble]

Men too, some of us guys only know what toxic women sound like

[@AllOuttaSpoons]

⁠@@ZeaDabbleThat is such a sad statement that I hear too often anymore. I hope you find there are a lot of good woman still out there. Better yet if you don’t have one yet I pray you find a goodn. ❤

The way she looks at you while you stand there and talk. It's like she's seeing you for the first time. Awsome stuff my friend.

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

This is what you called true love ❤️. God bless!

[@ssgaffney]

Agreed. There's no guys only.... anything. Well, outside working dirty jobs. It's like Annie, 'If he can do it, I can do it better'. Theres several channels I watch and all of a sudden the misses is there like a card carrying member. I'm sure they make the bucks doing it.... but enough already. Make the content to get the sponsors. Sponsor are twats. I'd probably sell out too if I saw the dollars attached, but it does suck. Right up there with the NFL wearing pink sneakers and pink camo weapons, and etc. I have no desire to force tampax to put battle axes on their label.... see what I mean. It's because dude aren't interested in the lady-stuff. ....and we not attention whores. Ooo, Ooo, put me on camera

[@Tank7979]

They look and act as if they are the only 2 in the room and only focus on each other...such a beautiful and inspiring thing 😊

[@rickeydeyoung9096]

You guys in the comments all saying that finding a woman like Mrs. Lovell is almost impossible missed a key part of the story. She (and John) were significantly different and worse people when they first got married. Finding perfect, especially when you are young, is not going to happen. Almost all relationships take years of work to get to a stage similar to where the Lovell's are.

[@mikelundgren19851]

I think about this all the time. I would not want my daughter to date the person I was when I got married. But I a much different than that person. I am not who I was.

[@TruthSeeker_7]

This is 💯! My wife and I had very similar issues when we were first married, along with family issues on top of everything. You need to learn, grow, and adapt.

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

@@mikelundgren19851 Huh. Maybe this a good message to conservative parents (I'm talking only about verrrrrry conservative parents, 99% of parents are not cautious ENOUGH with their kids) to give a little grace to the young men pursuing their daughters. Fathers with their daughters (and to a lesser extent, their sons) are sooooo hard on young men in the very conservative Christian circles. And I'm saying this as a verrrrry conservative person, so don't get me wrong, but I've known some very godly young men who have had fathers basically reject them completely because of secondary things, even though they had a good heart in all the most important things. It is sad because while dads have a duty to protect their daughters, they also have a duty to help them find a husband! So it's good to remind fathers that the young man is going to take time to grow. That's all. All respect to protective, conservative dads, of course.

[@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor]

Nonsense. I tried to help my wife for 24 years, always enticing her to do what was right and loving her and adoring her the whole time. Helped her achieve so much. Supported her and sacrificed so she could get a nursing degree. I supported her and sacrificed so she could attempt nurse anesthesia, which she failed. I welcomed all animals she brought home. I helped her while she struggled with mental and physical health issues. And she still filed for divorce.

[@jaydunbar7538]

19 years in and absolutely, lots of issues early on. the difference between making it to the “perfect marriage” level and divorce is if you give up or try to figure out what can be done better and work through everything no matter what.

[@richardmiller1610]

I love the way she looks at you John. Your marriage is one that needs to be seen by this world we live in. God bless you guys

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

We made the decision for me to stay home with our son (who has special needs). People always asked me “what I did” I would say “I’m a mom” and they responded, “I mean what’s your real job” I was made to feel less than, some family implied I was a freeloader (staying home while my husband worked). Others said I was “lucky” to stay home not knowing the many sacrifices we made and things we did without so I could stay home. I’m now 55, my son, 34 and I’m thankful my husband was willing to sacrifice so I could be a full time wife and mother. I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@mccartneyronald]

I'm 53 yr old man DON'T LET ANYONE TELL U BEING A MOTHER IS A BAD THING! We need to get back to mother being able to be home NOT STAY HOME ! to make there kids be better and show them the way just like ALSO HAVING A FATHER IN THE HOME ! GOD FOR U BEING ABLE TO DO THIS AND WANTING TO DO IT.

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

@@mccartneyronald thank you - I appreciate your kind words!

[@goldenknightsfanatic]

My sister in law is a stay at home mom. Which I think is great, but I know it kills her. She is a femisinist(and has the feminist books for her daughter) and her husband brings in all the money. I find it so ironic that the biggest feminist I know stays at home instead of working. My wife works full time but hates feminism.

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

@@goldenknightsfanatic really interesting. I give your sister credit “she hates it” but loves her children enough to sacrifice her feminist dreams. I also hate feminism (the ideals not the women) because it messes everything up. Feminism says we should be like men, better than men. It teaches women to dislike and disrespect men. I love being a traditional women and I appreciate men and their role. It hurts my heart the way feminism has gutted men, lied to women and ruined families.

I think that for most people a male breadwinner and female homemaker is ideal, though I also think there’s room for individual nuance and that there can be a few outliers. As long as the children are prioritized I think many jointly agreed upon arrangements between husband and wife can work

[@caromannn]

Refreshing to hear Biblical husband leadership and wife loving submission. I hired this guy who would take a bullet for me to lead our home; of COURSE I’m going to support his leadership! The discussion always takes marriage outside the context of love like some stranger just started bossing a woman around! Blessed 34 years in godly marriage. ❤❤

[@J_Steves]

I watch only on WPSN but wanted to come on here and say that I truly love when you two get together on a show. The amount of advice and knowledge I get for my relationship is awesome. I typically write stuff down while listening and really try to incorporate it all into my life. Thank you 🙏

[@jeremiahschneiter448]

I love all of that. I would add that as husbands it’s our responsibility to uplift our wives and make sure that they are emotionally fulfilled in their roll. I know that I fall short on that from time to time. My wife is incredibly ambitious, one of many traits that made me fall in love with her. She just directed that ambition at keeping our home and raising our 5 children.

When strangers are being too friendly and they ask you where are you from and do you live around here… you said it’s better to be rude and safe than nice and in danger. This was such a critical thought invasion… It has saved me time and time again.

Gad you two doing great I'm married for 36 years and my wife wants a divorce. Incompatible is what she used. She did not want to stop working. I would give or do anything for her . I would of had a child but she lost one and she did not want to try again. I did say I love her for better or worse. We were going to adopt one but we both kept working. Know I will not have my own kid to come and visit. So women make your mind up before you miss up a good man. I know I can find another but I will ask more what the women want in life. Great show! ❤👌

These two look at each other like they are on one of their earliest dates in their relationship. It's a good thing to see not only love in those eyes but admiration after all the years of dealing with stuff.

[@007Chancellor]

I've seen this SO many times... A feminist woman marries a man and spends all their time together trying to change him. She finally does. Then complains, "You're not the man I married!" Modern feminism is toxic. Thank you, John, for your book and for all you do to lift up masculinity. On the female shooting thing...my wife started shooting with me a few years back. We have been competing every month in a local Defensive Pistol match...and she has been winning the female division! Last month she finished mid-pack, beating out about a dozen male shooters! It took some time - and I had to learn how to teach her in a way she accepted and grew out of - but she is a BOSS now. And as proud of herself as I am of her. 😍👍

[@christiaan4music]

I love this. Unfortunately the mother of my two boys decided to go the other way the last couple of years which I believe ultimately also led to our divorce. I often hear from people whether I'd rather avoid happy couples and marriages as it is a painful reminder of what my life has become. I don't though. I believe in marriage, always have, maybe even more now. The core family is the foundation of society and the university of life. Thank you for this!

Mrs. Poet, I had a similar view as you did as a single woman and it came over to my early married life. By the grace of God I changed and so did my husband.

This is a good topic for discussion and I’m glad you chose it. Marital roles are important as are each person’s gifts. The great marriages are the ones taking advantage of both and preserve the love between the husband and wife. I believe you’re both good at these things.

[@horustwohawks]

Interesting thing about a circle... as soon as one is created there immediately manifests ...an inner circle, an outer circle, and a boundary that connects/interfaces the two. And while all are manifest of seemingly a single thing, they all have their very distinctive individuated natures and functions. Therefore what leads must be following, and therefore what follows must be leading. Different distinctive natures that would not exist without one another, nor without being an intrinsic part of one another. Both totally unique and yet one at the same time. Thank you John and Bekah. Nice job.

[@michaellautermilch9185]

Eastern mysticism. Please don't think that way about Ephesians 5.

[@horustwohawks]

@@michaellautermilch9185 I think you misunderstand the meaning and reference in my post. In places they discuss the nature of "leading and following" in the intimate partnership of marriage. How the roles, while distinct to the individuals, create frameworks of leading and following for each; and while there are some definitions of "lead" and "follow" that have obvious distinctions (to a man, to a woman, and their roles in this context), there are also the subtleties of how each individual stewards both those roles in various ways. Hence my comment, while there is (what in my culture loosely may be related as) "the inner circle" (what typically the woman 'holds'), and "the outer circle" (what typically the man 'holds') ...ultimately their relationships in "said stewardships" are inseparable. Metaphorically (in a manner) "the circle" geometric defines this inseparable relation, (once you draw it there all at once is an inside, an outside, and a meeting boundary) as does "the circle" of partnership (a distinctive relationship the harnesses distinctive strengths together). . I intend no commentary on anyone's spiritual and/or religious beliefs.
