I posted this on Facebook and ended up with almost 40 comments. Some agreed and others did not. I want to post it on here too as a reminder to anyone who read my blog to make sure that we as women do all we can to protect our marriages!
"Ok friends.. I feel compelled to climb aboard my soapbox this morning. It won't be long, I promise! I'm not condemning or chastising anyone for your actions.. That is not my mission. I just want to bring light & truth to something. Many people have read 50 Shades of Grey and I can't understand the hype of reading pornography and erotica. It's not good for our marriages. Then Magic Mike came out last night and I'm saddened at hearing how many people are attending this movie. Not because I'm so religious I can't find the fun in things, but because.. If this idea of strippers was turned around I would be heartbroken for my hubby to go! If he went to a movie like that I would feel that I could never measure up, I would feel very ugly in comparison and that would hinder our relationship. Matthew 5:28 says "But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart." This applies to women too! Do we think just because we are women that we are immune to such sins as sexual lust & adultery? Aren't our marriages more than this?? Women of faith, I beg you.. Really pray and seek the Lord.. Is reading these books and watching these movies building up your marriage or slowly eroding its foundation? It's worth thinking about! Satan wants to destroy our marriages, and currently I believe he's using 50 Shades of Grey & Magic Mike to do just this! And ask yourself.. If my hubby looked at playboy and watched a pornographic (in nature) movie.. How would that make me feel as a woman? Ok.. That's all I have to say.. I have slid down from the Soapbox and my plea is over. I love you dear friends and I hope you've heard my heart in this as one of love & concern for our marriages in America!!"
