I normally consider the following ok:
bitch
ass
shit
damn
hell
Fine.... not sure if these are borderlines or not... but then again, look at it another way ;)
bitch is a female dog, ass is a body part, shit is a by-product of food intake, damn.. well, not sure, and hell is a place ;)
So, all are good by me ;) Then again, im much more "profane" that you seem to be.... Not sure how it happened, guess I picked i tup working outside for a paving company full time for several years ;)
I must never meet her, she wouldn't be able to handle much time with my potty mouth.
Hmm... maybe not talk like that around her? I know, I know... that's crazy talk! ;)
But seriously, would it really hurt you to not use those words if it bugs her so much?
Does it then make me a heel if I decide that I must have a small breakdown in etiquette and toss a couple of "D" or "H" bombs out there?
Don't kid yourself, she's a great woman and I would never put down her style of beliefs despite me throwing it under the blog-o-scope for extensive examination.
Is it that selfish of me to have my personal beliefs and use them?
Marriage after all is about losing the "self" interests and embracing the "we" interests, but does that mean giving up your identity?
I guess this is the model I'm driven by:
See, the role we husbands have been given in this cosmic play called "marriage" is that of Jesus Christ, loving our wives "as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:25-27, ESV) Because of that, our primary job as husbands is to "lay down our lives" for our wives.
Losing self interest does not mean giving up your identity; rather, it is only when you "take the form of a servant" that you gain an identity worth having.
