Reciprocal love

As a woman, I can not relate to the ‘Red Pill truths’ from the inside out. I can however, read, observe, learn and incorporate in my own perception of the truth. As said in the short introduction on the About page, I make use of the stories and symbols of the Catholic Church to put into words what resonates within.

In his post on the hierarchy of love, Rational Male shows us that the love between husband and wife is not reciprocal. This is impossible. The man is the head of his wife. Both parents together are the head of the family (which leaves the man for all practical purposes the head of the family, of course).

It is impossible for a woman to love her husband the same way that he loves her; namely, with an unconditional, all-forgiving, everlasting love. He may stray on the side (which I do not approve of by the way) but still, he will love her, always. Instead, the woman bestows this kind of love on her children. Man’s love finds its final destination in the union with a woman, woman’s love finds its own in motherhood. The Bible is full of the lamentations of men who love their women and expect to be loved by them in the same way (for example, Hosea and his Gomer) only to find that things just don’t work that way. The people of Israel, personified as the beloved of God, represent the same tragedy; their God keeps having tantrums, yelling, threatening, promising, asking, commanding, begging for their love. But it never happens.

The Catholic Church teaches us that God became man: why? The answer is clear: to finally, after trying everything, be loved in the way that he loved his Bride, the Church. In order to receive the same unconditional, eternal love that He gives his Bride, He has to become his Bride’s Child. And so he did. By incarnating and becoming flesh of her flesh, he freed his Bride, personalized in Mary, from her original sin – her biology, her hypergamous instincts, before she was conceived. He made her, by his blood, into the immaculate Virgin she had always been to Him. Being freed from all biological imperatives, she could truly love her Husband, who, as her exalted Son, returned to Heaven, lifting her up with him to finally become One.

If ever there was a beta male with the wife-goggles, it was God.
