Marriage as such as a lifelong commitment would in my humble opinion benefit from a certain preparation of the soon to be husband and wife, which would prepare the husband to be a lifelong provider for the wife and the wife to appreciate the love of the husband and receive graciously what he has to offer.
Because the making of a man that would be a lifetime husband is a process that is not entirely deterministic, depending on the family's merits, upbringing, tutors and willingness which is a delicate brew that has to come together just right. The way to go about this was to teach boys at home, that is what jews would do, appoint a Guru like the Hindus or a Pir like the Muslims and through the spiritual process establish the boy on the spiritual path that eventually leads to union with God and to becoming a man which can sustain a lifelong marriage.
Christianity instead thought no such engagement as a requirement and the end result is what makes the subject of this article.
The models are truly amazing adaptations of life, what would be called in spiritual jargon as wisdom.
Both "The theologian" and "The whore" are devote Christians and real life people who I would not name.
"The theologian" has in fact finished theology and law studies. In university he has heard what Christianity distilled in 2000 years as the wisdom to instill in the theologians: take good care what woman you marry with, repeated ad nauseam to be crystalized in the memory and hopefully consciousness of the soon to be theologians. With law studies the success model of Christianity is born "The theologian".
The wisdom pays and "The theologian" makes money from cases of the plenty divorces available on the market (most probably most of them from sex outside it), of the people who weren't lucky to hear the distilled gist of 2000 years of Christianity. As a hobby "The theologian" discusses theology with consumers of spiritual entertainment on social networks.
"The whore", a divorced woman who needed to raise her kid is essentially complementary to "The Theologian", she needs affection, sexual intimacy and fun. She gets to the people who can provide (you can guess) and while it pays she enjoys it and when the relationship is not to her fancy as is not offering what she needs it keeps the men at bay by emasculating them and threatening them to having engaged into prostitution because, you see they were men and offered to pay for a dinner, or a trip.
The common thread of both the success models is the environment that makes them possible: marriage taken easy by both the clergy and society at large, sex as a taboo which is clearly needed whether one is married or not and which together produce and sustain the two success models "The Theologian' and "The Whore".
