  • Eve didn't want to be held accountable for her sin of disobeying God and following Satan, so she chose to drag Adam down with her. Misery loves company. Sound familiar, guys?

    Yes, love of poverty:
    On Virginity:
    Quote from: St. John Chrysostom
    it is not by beautifying herself, or by living a life of luxury, or by demanding from her husband money, or by being extravagant and lavish that she will be able to win him over. When she removes herself from all present concerns and imprints upon herself the apostolic way of life, when she displays great modesty, decorum, disdain for money and forbearance, then will she be able to capture him. When she says: "If we have food and clothing we have all that we need," [l Tim 6:8] when she practices this philosophy in her actions and, laughing at physical death, calls this life nothing, when she considers along with the prophet every glory of this life to be as the flower of the field, [Isa. 40:6] then she will capture him.

    There are the 5 instructions given to Sarah (Tobias 10:13), that she:
    Quote
    • honour her father and mother in law
    • love her husband
    • take care of the family
    • govern the house
    • behave herself irreprehensibly

    Also, generosity:
    another trait, which I've never seen mentioned in marriage-prep books, is whether a potential wife was raised by contracepting parents. Contraception is the opposite of generosity, and it is difficult for her to learn generosity when her parents themselves contracept and thus aren't generous. If she's from a big family, that's a sign her parents don't contracept; but among candidates for a potential wife from same-sized families, the ones whose parents don't contracept should be preferred.

    And Adam did not want to be lonely.

    So how do you think the daughters of Eve, should be held accountable?  :popcorn:

    Genesis 3:16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

    John 15:19  If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

    I am not sure that is the answer Nacho is thinking of. ::)

    Don’t necessarily assume a person from a small family contracepted. My mother had medical issues and lost numerous pregnancies. For whatever reason, God intended only two of us to survive.
