📖 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.
