FW 5.15 The Superior Male

Image
Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!  Today we are finishing up chapter 11 of the 1922 original Fascinating Womanhood pamphlets, AND we are finishing Pamphlet 5! We will be discussing the next two secrets about men's peculiarities:  Their armor of reserve; and we will learn about his secret desire. Every Man's Secret Reserve:  "This reserve is the second characteristic which we wish to emphasize as highly important in influencing a man's attitude toward woman." "The man of finer caliber is equally reluctant to expose his intimate, secret hopes and fears to indifference or antagonism.  The prospect of callous underestimation or sinister inference is nothing less than appalling to him.  He therefore sternly subdues every impulse to seek sympathy or appreciation.  Nothing but the absolute certainty of receiving it [sympathetic understanding] will induce him to throw off his armor of reserve, and to give an inkling to others of the things that mean most to him.  E...

FW 5.14 The Three-Date Rule and Sympathetic Understanding

This type of appreciation and understanding is desired from men of all ages , for single men and even for men who have been married for many years.  (You may need to look at your husband with new eyes!

  Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT) Like many people, I took Yoga classes and used Yoga videos.  But one day when I was putting in my Yoga tape, I heard the still, small voice say, “Stop.”  Now I had just learned to recognize this voice, but I was still uncertain.  Did I really just hear that?  Or was it my imagination?  A few weeks before, that same small voice had told me to put my purse away – and I didn’t – and it was stolen.  I had been praying that I would begin to hear the Holy Spirit nudge me again, like when I was a child, and then, when He did, I had ignored Him.  I didn’t want to ignore Him again, but I also didn’t understand why He would say, “Stop.”  Stop what?  Stop stretching?  ...
