Apparently some people need to hear this: If a man cheats on his wife, it is 100% his fault. Not partially his wife's for "not meeting his needs" Not the woman he cheated with for whatever she was wearing, not being on the conference circuit. 1/3

That's the world we live in. Men, It's YOUR responsibility to restrain yourself. Not anyone else's; that's part of being a leader. I'm sick of men who want to be the leader of their home and their wife to submit to them blame shifting and excusing their sin. 3/3

Doug Wilson is peddling a form of prosperity gospel: Buy all my stuff, work the formula, and you too will have a family with no apostates. And of course if anyone *does* leave the faith it’s because *you* didn’t work the formula right. Mark and avoid.
