Biblical Proportions
I’m very much not any form of Christian, despite having extensively studied their holy works and related texts in various languages, including the original ones in some, mostly New Testament cases. Still, the Bible does hold a lot of wisdom in it, much of which is either directly applicably to today or can be extrapolated to fit with today’s world (If, in many cases, one gets past both accidental and deliberate mistranslations).
A perfect case in point being the entirety of Proverbs, especially Proverbs 5, and most especially Proverbs 5:19:
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
— Proverbs 5:19 KJV
See? This is why, despite being truly theologically, cosmologically, and ontologically opposed to the basic premises underlying Christians’ faith – a single, omniscient, omnipotent God who both made Creation and is Benevolent, I have a respect and fondness for the Bible, especially the Old Testament. The Bible, again especially the Old Testament, sets forth a lot of ways for people to live “rightly” and fairly well, and in those chapters, it includes nuggets of applicable wisdom on how to do so instead of just saying go forth and do this or go forth and don’t do this.
The entirety of Proverbs 5 can be summed up as an admonition to young men to not be promiscuous manwhores, dawgs, or players, but, instead, to find a good woman and stay with her. Then, in verse 19, it gives practical advice on what sort of woman to choose so that a man can better and more easily abide by the stricture. 😉
Carry on, be thee wayward or steadfast,

Son, She's A Keeper
One piece of advice I have for the young American men out there – If you can find a fine babe who can noodle a good-sized blue or flathead catfish, she’s a keeper. Put a ring on her quick as you can and get busy getting started on your family. Trust me, she’ll be the best thing you ever did. 😉

All Those Burnt Suppers
It’s a classical trope in America – probably across the Civilized World – that a young couple will spend at least their 1st year together eating poorly cooked, burnt suppers. But, while all tropes have a basis in fact, this one is probably extremely misunderstood and paints the wrong picture.
If the cooking is constantly interrupted by other activities, the quality of the food is going to suffer. 😆
