How Love & Relationships Got Twisted (Maybe) | LoveQnA | Lucky Pikas Library

 

📖 Chapter One: Back to the Roots — How Love & Relationships Got Twisted

🔥 Setting the Record Straight — From the Ancestors to the Algorithms


🌱 The Love That Built Families & Dynasties

Before the podcasts, before Instagram models and “high-value man” debates, before red-pill vs. blue-pill nonsense — there was real love. Not perfect love, but partnerships built on survival, respect, and reality.

💬 What Our Ancestors Knew

  • Love wasn’t a “vibe” — it was a strategy for survival.

  • Marriage wasn’t just a “goal” — it was an economic alliance.

  • Raising children wasn’t “a woman’s job” — it was a full family operation.

  • Romance wasn’t about luxury trips and matching pajamas — it was about trust, teamwork, and traditions.


🚨 The Myths They Sold Us

Fast forward to today — and love got twisted like a pretzel. People running around thinking:

All grandmothers were housewives baking pies.
All grandfathers were faithful, wise providers.
Every marriage was happy just because divorce was rare.
Women only wanted love, and men only wanted sex.

💣 Truth Bomb: The Real History

✅ Plenty of women worked back in the day — in fields, in factories, as teachers, seamstresses, and maids.
✅ Men left families back then too — they just didn’t have social media to brag about it.
✅ Some marriages lasted because divorce was taboo — not because love was stronger.
✅ Women weren’t “choosing careers over families” — they were forced into work because men died, disappeared, or couldn’t provide.


📊 A Timeline of Love & Labor

Era

What Really Happened

1800s

Marriage = Survival Contract. Women worked farms & businesses. Divorce rare due to church & laws.

Early 1900s

Women worked in factories (especially during wars). Love = luxury for some, survival for most.

1940s-1950s

Post-war prosperity = Temporary fantasy of housewives & working husbands (mostly middle-class white families).

1960s-1970s

Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Free Love Era — Traditional roles crumble. Women enter workforce in droves.

1980s-1990s

Economic shifts = two incomes needed to survive. Divorce rates rise.

2000s-present

Internet, social media, global dating pools = Love is a high-stakes game with too many players & too much noise.


🔎 The Real Reason Divorce Exploded

It wasn’t because people suddenly stopped loving each other. It’s because:

📡 More options = less loyalty
💰 Financial independence = more exits available
📱 Social media = comparison culture & temptation overload
💔 Less family pressure to “stay together for the kids”
🧠 Mental health awareness = people left toxic situations faster
🔥 Cultural shifts = Marriage isn’t seen as a “must” anymore

💣 The Root of the Battle of the Sexes

At the heart of every argument between men & women is one thing:

POWER.

⚔️ Who controls the money?
⚔️ Who controls the sex?
⚔️ Who controls the decisions?
⚔️ Who has more options?
⚔️ Who brings more to the table?


💬 Bible, Beliefs & Bad Interpretations

Many people quote “Wives submit to your husbands” without ever reading the whole chapter.

📖 Ephesians 5:21 says: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
That’s mutual submission — not dictatorship.

Some religious beliefs fueled toxic power struggles.
But the Bible also says:
✅ A wise man cherishes his wife like his own flesh.
✅ A virtuous woman is worth more than rubies.

The truth: Real leadership serves, protects & uplifts. Not controls.


💔 Why Modern Love Feels Like a Warzone

📱 Too much choice, not enough connection
💰 Too much focus on money, not enough focus on partnership
💔 Too much comparison, not enough authenticity
🗣️ Too much noise from podcasts, influencers & clout-chasers
👀 Too much watching the opposite sex — not enough understanding them


💬 So What’s the Answer?

✅ Learn REAL history — not fairytales.
✅ Study RELATIONSHIPS like you study your hustle.
✅ Upgrade your COMMUNICATION like it’s a survival skill.
✅ Drop the ego — pick up collaboration skills.
✅ Stop listening to bitter, broken people online.
