  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

According to Miranda Kerr: Women "Need to Make a Little Effort" When It Comes to Pleasing Their Men

"My grandma taught me that men are visual and you need to make a little effort," the model said in an interview with The Edit. "So when [Evan] comes home, I make sure to have a nice dress on and the candles lit. We make time to have a nice dinner together." (read the full article on Harpar's Bazaar.)

For the purposes of discussion:

Do you agree? Why or Why not? And what constitutes "a little effort?" Who defines it?

Who is Miranda Kerr?

Obey Yahweh and all else will be granted you.

"Seek first the Kingdom of Yahweh, and all these things (the things God considers good, helpful, needed) will be added unto you".

All this is quite thoroughly described from Genesis thru Malachi, and Matthew through the Apocalypse(Revelation).

She's an actress. I shared the link to the post. :)

I don't think I've seen her in anything....

Regardless, I'll say that people value the opinions of celebrities far too much. She puts a genuine effort into pleasing her man? I'm shocked....he's one of the world's youngest billionaires lol. My guess is that from the moment he wakes up to the time he falls asleep, 99% of the people he interacts with put some effort into pleasing him.

Perhaps her experiences and situations don't really reflect that of the average person.

I think both spouses need to make a little effort to please each other, and what that involves will vary between individuals. As they are to love each other, the decisions involved should be mutually agreed upon, and the goal of each should be to please each other in order to have a harmonious relationship.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said in your post. My husband and I have a Christian Egalitarian marriage and we treat each other as equals. Our chosen approach to marriage and our mutual respect for each other has certainly worked for us because we celebrated our 26th anniversary last week.

Congratulations on your anniversary! My wife and I celebrated our 23rd last summer, with, God willing, many more to come.

I like to think we are in mutual service to each other, without keeping score. “Sharing without reckoning” as my father might (and did) say.

Sorry, this is our Miranda Kerr saying she needs to "make an effort" to "look nice"?

Am I missing something here? Did the world get taken over by aliens while I wasn't paying attention?

I would have said "fashion model," myself. Probably the best-known Australian model of recent times. Allegedly the sexiest woman alive in 2012.

I know, I know, but Miranda's a bit odd. She's also made comments about being submissive so men can feel important and stuff.

Do you have link for that comment?

The quote was: “If you’re really an alpha female, you don’t allow [your partner] to have the space to feel like the man in the relationship ... Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help, instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.

Edit: I see you got there already.
