Choice quote from Mark Driscoll’s new book on marriage:

ktank:

invisibleforeigner:

In this season we shifted into ministry-and-family mode, neglecting our intimacy and failing to work through our issues. This became apparent to me when my pregnant wife came home from a hair appointment with her previously long hair that I loved chopped off and replaced with a short, mommish haircut. She asked what I thought, and could tell by the look on my face. She had put a mom’s need for convenience before being a wife. She wept.

I can’t believe this is real.

SO MANY BARFS

  7. countryboylife said: In fairness I don’t know a man, religion has nothing to do with this, that actually likes it when a woman cuts her long hair short. I mean I know they exist, but I haven’t met any.

  21. ethosophical said: Holy shit. This is really a thing? Setting aside even the inanity of making hair length an issue, did Mark Driscoll just set up a false dichotomy between being a good wife and being a good mother?
  22. thalescircles said: I… buh… wha— hunh? He decided he didn’t like it, OK. Then he made her feel bad about it (on the basis of some faux “morality”)? *Then* he decided to publicly shame her to make— no point whatsoever? This man needs counseling.

  34. shortbreadsh said: What was the moral of this story? Does he think that motherhood is at odds with wifehood? Is he in favor of polygamy so that as each wife becomes a mom and hence “mommish” he has a new sexy young thing?
  35. zoomtard said: My wife’s short hair speaks of her rampant disregard for the Bible and her lack of love for me. Thank Pastor Mark for me next time you see him. I sure do hope her hair grows back without medical intervention.
