Answering “Preparing To Be A Help Meet” – Scare Your Husband?

Answering “Preparing To Be A Help Meet” – Scare Your Husband? March 1, 2017

AnsweringAnother installment of giving better answers to the questions asked at Debi Pearl’s site message board for the book β€˜Preparing To Be A Help Meet’. Many young ladies ask questions on all sorts of different subjects brought up by the book. There was just one big problem, many of the answers stray into either the outright bad and emotionally unhealthy to dangerous. Yes, typical Debi Pearl borderline abusive. Here’s what we’re going to be doing here at NLQ. Every week, once or twice a week, I’ll be posting up one of the questions from the message board and ask you, our readers, to answer that poor soul’s question in a way that is logical, rational and the best possible solution, in other words 180 degree turn from Debi and friends answers. As alwaysΒ  all spelling and grammar in the posting is unchanged from the original author.

This is by Shalom – Debi Pearl’s daughter asking ladies what they thought of chapter 4 and describing how her mother was always jumping out from behind things to scare her father. Very bizarre.

Chapter 4

Thanksgiving Produces Joy
This is the last of three chapters on Thanksgiving and joy so let us really take it to heart. Look up the word Thanksgiving and if you want to share with us that silly thing you do to make your husband laugh, I am sure we would all enjoy it .
The story that mom tells about her yelling and scaring Dad, was an everyday event. She was always jumping out from behind something to scare him. We would be eating supper and she would let out a yell making us all jump up in fright, while she sat there laughing at us. Dad was always laughing and chasing her down for her punishment, which was a kiss. We would all laugh and tell them to keep it PG13

The readers have contributed lots and lots of silly stories about making their husbands laugh, but not one of them seems to be cottoned onto the fact that jumping out and scaring someone seems more like passive-aggressive behavior – inward hostility expressed in a β€˜joking’ manner is still hostility not joy!
