is NOT about:
- Career/Success
- Strength, "man-ly-hood"...
- Abusing women, and treating them as objects
- being soft, being sissy, meaning you lay back, don't take leadership
but it IS about:
- Leading your partner spiritually. We MUST be leaders, leading towards a God-glorifying direction (I have trouble with that, 'leading' alone...just being confident in general)
- Love your partner Sacrificially. Love is an act of will. you don't stop loving someone just cuse they are acting a certain way or when things don't go smoothly. (I was a little comforted by this point, because I am always afraid of "not being loved" anymore, if I did something horrendously wrong to someone. Ofc, that reminds myself to do the same, and I would be at comfort and peace if someone did that to me)
- Learn Her Steadfastly. (only your wife obviously, not creep or stalk someone elses). You can learn women. Put time into it, and you'll learn her.
One thing that stuck to me, was that "She is not mine, She IS me." That changes everything...that just makes everything different! I mean, I thought to myself at that time, How would I BE someone unless I physically & emotionally felt what they felt?? I can only BE someone, If I AM them lol. But I get the point...treat her as if you'd treat your own body; because we love ourselves. We love them, the way we would love ourselves. To the point, where they are 'ourselves'.
I don't have a wife...nor am I close to getting one. But...this taught me more on how to 'be a MAN' (with the accent obvi).
