I remember him telling me to smile at him and when I did, he said "you dont even have dimples".<br />I knew I looked like my mother and I knew he did not think her pretty. None of us looks like those ladies in those magazines and sometime around 14, I stopped even making an effort to do so. He wanted me to wear mini-skirts and bought me make-up and shoes with heels I found hard to walk in. <br />He always said he would have a hard time finding somebody to marry me: not pretty, too skinny, brainy and I can't even cook.<br /><br />Well, I AM brainy and looked for a husband all by myself. My husband knows I am a warrior. I survived a pretty interesting birth (4 days...) and lived to tell the tale. I have a c-section scar and claim it is a honorable scar.<br />I have a daughter we raise to be a Warrior Princess: you can wear a pink ribbon in karate class, it does not keep you from kicking. You can have glittery ponies and ride to battle. A sword and a skirt go together well, ask any Scot.<br /><br />Brainy, no longer skinny, an awesome cook, beautifull and a warrior.

My goodness I am grateful for a loving Christian husband who protects our girls from this garbage. I may have put on some scars and a few pounds since our kids but my girls will always see a man who loves his wife enough to not ogle other women, ever. I am woman, I am strong. I will protect my family.

My husband and I make a point to teach our daughters (all three of them) that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes and it's okay to look at people and appreciate that there is beauty in all walks of life. We don't watch porn in front of them, but we don't hide our playboys in a vault teaching them sexuality is something to be ashamed of, because it's just not. Finding members of the opposite sex attractive is healthy, normal and human. I am a warrior, complete with scars, AND I'm sexy and beautiful. You CAN be both. Do I think porn addiction or lying to your spouse is healthy? Absolutely not. However, that's an extreme. My husband and I have an open dialogue that has included our children (sons and daughters) at an appropriate age with appropriate content. It's also fostered the relationship with our children: when they need birth control, they come to us, when they are uncomfortable about something that's happened to them, they come to us, when their college roommate is raped, they come to us.

Thank you so much for sharing that, and ...Kristin,<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing that, and I'm so glad you and your husband have chosen a better path. And dude, I absolutely agree. Hardcore porn difficult enough to contain, but you're so right, we live in a softcore world where porn is everywhere.Destinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129018504883376123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304779787487491003.post-51684556991798980112013-08-23T09:24:51.696-07:002013-08-23T09:24:51.696-07:00I had an ache in my heart after I read this becaus...I had an ache in my heart after I read this because when I was little I found magazines like Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler that my Dad had and those images confused me too!! At 47 years of age I'm still dealing with the fall out from that and I also have an 11 year old daughter that I'm determined to protect from this happening but it is very difficult in our culture today!! I'm thankful for my husband who is aware and is careful not to bring porn into our home but it's hard when sex and woman are portrayed the way they are in everything from tv to magazines etc.!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109636885750590257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304779787487491003.post-47218177037552236592013-08-23T07:13:38.873-07:002013-08-23T07:13:38.873-07:00Oh. man, can I read this to everyone I see?
