Pat's Advice:
Men are expected to cheat. Wives should try hard to forgive them and fall in love with them again- mainly because they provide a home, food, clothes and are nice to the children. The secret is for wives to make homes so wonderful that husbands do not wander.
What I Hope He Is Trying To Say:
Just like any other relationship, marriages are vulnerable and should not be taken for granted. Both partners should commit and contribute to the marriage equally, although they may do so in very different ways. The secret is for both partners to invest their time and positive energy into creating a home environment that is trusting, supportive, and loving.
Why His Words Are So Scary:
This view implies that all men are gullible, untrustworthy, and weak, with no control over their own impulses. It completely takes away all responsibility from husbands and implies that a wife has the power to stop her husband from cheating simply by being a good homemaker.

Pat's Advice:
Awful-looking women can cause marriages to lose their spark. Wives should not hassle husbands for flirting - they just need to make themselves as attractive as possible.
What I Hope He Is Trying To Say:
It is important for both partners to continue to feed their souls, respect and nourish their bodies, and explore personal goals and interests, so that they can be happy, fulfilled, and contributing partners.
Why His Words Are So Scary:
Once again, Pat says nothing about how husbands should also take care of themselves. Also, does this mean that wives can flirt freely, with their husband's complete support and understanding? And that husbands just need to lay off the beer and hit the gym in order to keep wives coming home?
Pat's Advice:
When a wife doesn't respect her husband as head of the house, she is a rebellious child who doesn't want to submit to authority. The husband could always become a Muslim and beat her. While wife-beating isn't condoned these days, something needs to be done to stop her.
What I Hope He Is Trying To Say:
I'm losing my mind and should probably be taken off the air immediately before I ruin the reputation of Christianity for all humankind.
Why His Words Are So Scary:
The 700 Club is the flagship daily show of the Christian Broadcasting Network, which is one of the longest-running television shows in broadcast history. People seeking hope and spiritual direction are often influenced by these patriarchal and oppressive ideological views about marriage that serve to perpetuate sexism and a culture of violence against women. (Note: Pat's damaging views on Islam are worthy of a separate blog entirely.)
