Have you ever wondered why your relationships keep falling apart?
Why is marriage no longer an appealing prerequisite or the endgame of dating and relationships?
Or why do the broken fragments between sex, love, and fidelity never seem to connect?
The Consequence of Choice takes us on a unique journey into the heart of relationship conflicts, observed through the lens of women's romantic decisions and the outcomes they hope to achieve. It also looks at how men interpret women's romantic choices, whether men's responses to those decisions are innate, and how their actions don't often align with the utopian aspirations women desire.
The author, Bernard R. Pilgrim, who's been married for twenty-two years, spent his formative years in a religious school and later as a singer/songwriter, and managing a recording studio in New York, believes that by critically examining our preconceived notions about dating, relationships, and marriage, will guide our path in embracing fidelity and intimacy in our relationships; thus, allowing our vetted dating decisions based on reality, rather than unrealistic expectations, will help us negate the Consequence of Choice.
"Chivalry wasn't about you; you reaped the benefits of it. It was about the training of men to evolve into seeing you not just as sexual beings to be conquered but as wives and mothers of their children."
"You've always been complete as women, never lacking in anything. Your ordained feminine purpose was, and still is, the divine inspiration of men to protect and serve those they love."
"Men are not dogs. You cannot buy their undying loyalty and love.
"Your sexual erotic treats may hypnotize men for a season. However, their financial generosity
isn't anything but transactional, sex for monetary gifts."
"We're responsible for all the unvetted choices we make and the possible outcomes that follow, and we shouldn't be allowed to blame anyone else for our failures."
"If most of the men you've chosen to date have treated you as one-night stands, friends with benefits, or placement holders, and none of them have committed to you in the fellowship of marriage. Then perhaps, your presentation of your dating/relationship market value may be nothing more than sexual."
"Lamentably, if all we have in our relationships is Netflix and chill, then we have nothing."
