VM: What first attracted her to her handsome husband she replied:
RP: What really attracted me was his wit and humor. He is very insightful as well as thoughtful, innovative and savvy. I adore those qualities in him. My husband competed for five years and is now retired from bodybuilding. However, he still eats, trains and looks like a bodybuilder.

Recently I spent some time in a life-coaching session with a seasoned gentleman that was distraught over the type of women he had been pursuing. Here are a few quotes of his from our session.
“I find a lot of women in the church [are] very confused when it comes to love and intimacy. I would love your opinion on this, especially when women tell me they are marred to Jesus, or [that they] must check with their pastor first. The problem is they don't want a man because they say Jesus is enough, and then they want me to, as a friend, help them with their bills; and if they can [even] get a credit card, without being involved sexually or [sharing any] physical touch at all.”
“Women in the church now [are] trying to get all they can get [through preliminaries] without being [really] involved… and I've also noticed that most woman are selfish, self-centered and greedy – claiming they have been hurt by men of their past. Then when I come along, I want to help make it right with them and I have tended to let them take advantage [of me].”
