I don't see it as acceptable among those who profess Christianity in the least.
But a severe lack of teaching in this area simply leaves the animal instinct to run the show. A sad state.

I don't think it is right. It is almost very common. I am grieved to think that if the trend continues, it will be the norm.

Concerning what Women want in a relationship is the same commitment from the other party they are commited too...
Love doesn't make it happen all the time so when Love is out on a break commitment steps in until love comes back...

Mom has eight siblings. All have been divorced. Only 2 have not remarried.
Step dad has nine siblings. One is dead. He did not divorce. One other is still married to his first wife. One sister, her husband died. One brother lost his wife to cancer.
The rest have divorced and remarried. Two divorced, again. Blah.. it's hard to keep up with these people!!
Mom and step dad, well.. DIVORCE. She has been married and divorced twice!! And she did not marry my father...
This is all really sickening.

We went to a marriage seminar a couple of years ago. They told us there that men want to be told that they are appreciated and admired. Women want to be told that they are loved.
If a woman says to her husband all day long "I love you", she won't get the same response as she will if she says to her husband, "thank you so much for fixing the plumbing. I could never have done that myself."
At the same time, if a man says to a woman "Thank you for doing laundry", it won't get as much response as if he says to her, "You are so beautiful and I just love you so much. I would give my life for you."
We came home and tried it and believe it or not, the guy was right!

I now find myself in a pickle:
I can AMEN the part about the male (I are one)
But that means I  oloroidhave to consider the POV of the female (which I am married to one).
Oh boy....is eye contact required ALSO!

I would separate the first & the second parts of that statement by several hours. 
Or even better.... clean your own socks. It's not that complicated really.
