Relationships are not about love, that’s a modernist lie. Love should come later in the relationship, and not be a core basis. Nearly no couple ever loves each other after a couple years together, they just tolerate each other. Naturally women want a man who can support them, and give them strong children that he can also support, a man wants a female who can take care of the home and the children and give him strong children. It’s nature, sweetcheeks, get with it, or get out.

If you've never been in a relationship where there was no love left after a honeymoon period, you've been in some shitty relationships, and I can hazard a guess as to which half of the couple was always the cause. Of course, this is assuming an entity this pathetic ever got so much as a blind date in college.
Let's see. 1) My wife and I have loved each other from the day we met (to be honest we talked online for over a month before we met, and if we didn't feel we were going to click we wouldn't have traveled to meet anyway) and 2) have been in love for almost 12 years now and don't see that ending anytime soon. 3) She never wanted to be supported, 4) I never gave her kids, except the ones I had from before we met, 5) I do more of the housework than her, not a lot, neither of us are really home bodies, and as I mentioned 6) she never gave me children, but stepped up to be mom to ours. We are zero for six in your sad little list and so happy together we make our friends nauseous. we must be doing something right, sweetcheeks
That was how relationships worked among cultures where people didn't get to choose who they married. In those cultures, people who didn't fall in love with each other had barely any interaction under any circumstances where they didn't have to. If one person fell in love and the other didn't... that was a nightmare for either or both of them.
Meanwhile most of us don't live in one of those cultures, and it does not work that way. Love first, relationship second, marriage third.
Hmm... nope.
We have been together for 15 years, and get along famously. As for your comments about 'nature':
"Naturally women want a man who can support them"
What I wanted, and what I got, was a man who was honest. With me, and about everything generally, since I'd been raised by a rather unhealthy family who often avoided honesty. Long story short, I wanted somebody with whom I knew where I stood. He did the job brilliantly then, and still continues to do today. I think that counts as support, but then, you weren't talking about emotional support, were you?
"give them strong children that he can also support"
I've never had so much as a sniff of an urge to have children, and he has felt the same way. So no thank you to kids from both of us.
"a man wants a female who can take care of the home and the children and give him strong children"
Firstly, a man wants a female? What, can she be of any species? Could that be why he's been keeping that female platypus around? Anyway, I digress.
We both take care of the home together.
That's our relationship, sweetcheeks.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
