You can give a woman respect, you can protect her and wisely care for her but NEVER show or tell her you love her.
Showing a woman love will make her disrespect you. She will NEVER submit herself to you.
I know it sounds odd to you readers but that is the TRUTH about women.
That girl you are having a crush on, is head over hills for a guy that doesn't show her love.
The men in bible times knew this, so they developed a hard-heart and encouraged divorce. They did not tolerate nonsense from women.
When jesus told his disciples that Moses permitted divorce, but God is against it, the disciples said, "if that is the case, then it is better not to marry"
The disciples could not imagine a world without divorce. To them, if divorce is bad then it is better to remain single.
Apostle Paul had to beg the men in those times to love their wives.
The reason the men were hard-hearted is not because they were wicked, it is because they knew that the moment you show love to a woman, your value and respect in her eyes will drop faster than the speed of light.
