“We all grew up so utterly vulnerable, enthralled by romantic love as we knew it. First of all, it was pounded into you every which way that you've got to get married and you've got to have babies. That you're not a natural woman if you don't. So that led to a lot of sitting by the telephone and waiting for a call. And that led you into a culture in which you were always in a subordinate position without realizing it; hamstrung, not able to take action. That was the most important thing: you were always waiting to be desired.” IfsWayFirstsImportantAbleActionCultureWaitingRealizingNaturalPositionBabyGrewMarriedGrew UpSittingImportant ThingsVulnerableRomantic LoveTelephonesSubordinatesAlways Waiting Author:Vivian Gornick
“James says, "You desire and do not have; so you kill" (Jas. 4:2). We kill marriages and we kill unborn babies because they cut across our desires; they stand in the way of our unencumbered self-enhancement. And we live in a culture where self-enhancement and self-advancement is god. And if self-enhancement is god, then the One who is at work in the womb shaping a person in His own image is not God and the assault on His work is not sacrilegious, but obedience to the god of self.” IfsWayPersonsSelfDesireCultureCuttingBabyObedienceAbortionAssaultWombAdvancementUnbornEnhancementSacrilegiousUnborn Baby Author:John Piper
“In the consumer culture of marriage, commitments last as long as the other person is meeting our needs. We still believe in commitment, because we know that committed relationships are good for us, but powerful voices coming from inside and outside tell us that we are suckers if we settle for less than we think we need and deserve in our marriage. Most baby boomers and their offspring carry in our heads the internalized voice of the consumer culture-to encourage us to stop working so hard or to get out of a marriage that is not meeting our current emotional needs.” IfsThinkingKnowsNeedsBelievePersonsLongStillsHardLastsCultureVoicePowerfulEmotionalBabyDeserveCommitmentMeetingsCurrentsCommittedConsumersSettlingOffspringSuckerBoomersBaby BoomerConsumer CultureInside And OutsideEmotional NeedsWorking So HardCommitted Relationship Author:William J Doherty

“Actually, on a slightly more serious but kind of parallel level, I remember being on Loveline before both hosts ascended into loftier places in the culture. But I remember being shocked by Dr. Drew.

As an intellectually curious person, all I could think is that there isn't any clinical evidence about that. But to be the guy wearing the doctor's hat on the radio and teaching everybody about this?
