 Now this is where we're going to take a turn when we go to coach Greg Adams. I know coach has a different opinion and I don't disagree with him at all and I told him too that he is an important voice in this world Coach Greg Adams is marriage important. I Think many people will be surprised by my answer on this one I mean if you've been following me for a long time, you know about the free agent lifestyle tenets Which is no cohabitation? no long-term relationships and No marriage Now before I say that I believe marriage is about a lot of things, but at least these two things Building families and building community now. Can you say that either exists very well right now? There's not a lot of communities not many people know their neighbors Families have been destroyed now When it comes to men, I believe men overwhelmingly want to be married. I've been married I wish I had a successful marriage many men that have been divorced wish they had a successful marriage and many men in Here I know when we did the patriarchy the patriarch talk. They wanted children They wanted marriages Now when I say the three tenets of the free agent lifestyle, I say that for two reasons Namely people brought it up already the government They their involvement has destroyed the institution of marriage. They don't give many couples options and they interfere I try to advise men of what they can Anticipate if they decide to be married and that therefore if they don't do their due diligence and They rely on the media to sell the marriage which they say it's about love Well, then what's gonna happen is he's gonna find out the hard way that there are judges mediators lawyers child support offices child protective services Court County clerks a lot of people that are involved in the institution of marriage which benefits the court if your family is destroyed So I say those three tenets as a means to have a silent protest Until there's marriage reform and if there is marriage reform, then we can say Let's be about family and community again Until then I tell men you really have to do your homework Not only with the woman that you want to be involved with But what the family law codes are associated with? if you are one of the 60 percent of first divorces 60 70 percent of second marriage is dissolving and almost 80 percent of Third marriage is dissolving with eight out of ten of them being women initiating them So is the woman important here is your selection of that woman important? Well, she will dictate whether she will lead you to the slaughter until then I Say no to marriage Until we resolve the issue. I looked up the Definition of keeping it real and there was a picture of coach Greg Adams There's a lot of people who when you're talking they're going la la la la. I'm not listening to you la la la I'm getting married no matter what And they want to drown you out, and I'm glad You are here adding some balance to things because you're not lying Very few people call me a liar. Okay, so a lot of people call me a lot of things They say you're bitter you're hurt you failed at your relationship, although there's a million divorces per year Okay per year in this country But the one thing that will keep me talking is The fact that people never call me a liar. Okay, and when people start calling me a liar Then I will have to find solutions To adjust my message But the truth is the truth Whether you like it or not I advise men to not live by the hope strategy Because hope is not a strategy. You can't hope wish Anything you have to know and not only know you have to accept If you want to accept the data you accept it for what it is Facts don't care about your feelings. Absolutely not Which leads us to Pastor Michael Foster Is marriage important? Uh in in the spirit of the coach here. All right, I'll give you an answer. You're probably not gonna expect. Okay
