Should Women Have Breast Implants?
May 28, 2009

Several years ago I was counseling a man who had been married five years. He took pride in his physical conditioning, appearance, and fast-track career.

As we sat across from one another at a coffee shop, he said, "I don't find Julie attractive anymore. She doesn't turn me on."

"Why are you talking to me?" I asked. "You need to see an eye doctor. She's gorgeous."

"Ever since the birth of Justin, her breasts have sagged. I want her to get a boob job. Not a big one. You know, maybe a D Cup."

"Seems big to me."

"Think so?"

"Look, Jason, it's just a matter of time until both your bodies show signs of aging. If you get on the treadmill of plastic surgery, she'll end up with an endless series of facelifts, tummy-tucks, breast implants, and liposuction procedures."

"Yeah, we were thinking about going ahead with the tummy tuck while she was on the table. You know--fix that too."

"Jason," I said. "You're not getting it. Your reasoning is flawed."

"How so?" he asked--giving me permission to tell him what I would have said anyway.

"The magnetism of a magnet isn't based on the physical appearance of the magnet but on the makeup of the magnet. It's what's on the inside that pulls the opposite poles together."

Jason didn't care. His wife got her "boob job," and then he complained that her breasts didn't "feel" right. Listen, when a man and woman are no longer physically attracted to one another, it indicates that their relationship with God and each other is strained to the breaking point. Something on the inside is broken.

Next week I'll discuss the first and most important step a man must take to restore passion to his marriage and what a single man must do to prepare for a healthy sex-life once married.
