I do not see it as at all far-fetched to prepare myself for this. Of course, I’ve learned the hard way to be very careful whom I broach such a subject with (i.e., family members and many friends this is not such a great idea). But the fact is, as you noted, we must obey God. And as also noted, the law is no longer merely against our Faith but indeed, our entire society and the traditions that held it so carefully together. I consider it likely that, should things continue this way, the worst case scenarios could very well prove true.

I’m not interested in labeling myself, thus “MGTOW” is not my brand. But there’s no question that I’ve weighed the options of attempting to exit permanent bachelorhood (I’m divorced, like yourself) and found the balance wanting entirely too much. So I remain a bachelor. I don’t know anything worth focusing my time on these days but to dig and dig into my faith and, if I study to show myself approved, perhaps God will grant me more wisdom.

What else is worth the trouble now, besides Wisdom? Besides, the further I dig the more I discover just how much God loves to give to us what He already wants us to have. Servanthood is not an issue when the One being served is so ready to see us become what He’d intended the whole time. Feminists forget: lectures we don’t need. Busybodies we don’t need.

What we need is less envy, less spite and more grace, more couth and a heap more willingness to do the things we sometimes do not wish in order that we might garner the things we need.
