Christ created us to be warriors and have adventure. When the Word says to Love your wife as Christ Loved the Church I agree, give yourself up for her as a ransom but the other part of that is she, the bride is called to a life of adventure and sacrifice to go with you. We are the Bride of Christ and it is not a stay at home and put away your swords obligation; oh to the contrary it is bring your sword and join the battle. As a couple you must understand that you as the husband will give yourself up for your bride, however you as the bride and wife have to run with your husband head long into adventure. You married your man because he was a man; at least I hope you did. If you fell in love with his laid back spirit and his sense of adventure why is it now that you seek to emasculate him and want him to play house and wear chinos and loafers. Christ didn’t just seek to avoid conflict he met it head on.
Moms, wives don’t cut your boys, husband off at the knees and crush their spirit. Don’t cut their balls off and tell them that guns and rough housing and fighting are wrong. God created boys, husbands to be men and those are the courses taken to become/be a man. Men if you were told that was wrong and to behave then stand up and go outside, leave the computer and the gaming systems and find a true and real adventure. Wives run after your husbands, go find adventure with him, go with him be a part of his journey. Moms told us to behave and wear clean clothes wash your hands, don’t go down by the water, be careful, and stay safe. WHAT were we taught, were we taught to be little girls so we could grow up to be a man?
Are you safe? Are you safe with your man, not the kind of safe like we watch PBS and listen to Mariah Carey, but the kind of safe that says he defends you and will fight for you?
