Marriage For Husbands
Commanded: To Protect; To Defend; To Serve
Husbands should say to their wives: “I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself.For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us.I place your love above all things, and nothing would be more bitter or painful to me than to be of a different mind than you.”~St. John Chrysostom
Marriage: An Act Of The Will!
How does a man do it? What makes a magnificent husband? One who is endeared, revered, loved, and honored by his wife.
Contrary to one who is loathed, feared, not respected or worst of all; treated with total indifference.
What is the difference between "A Man Of Courage" and a man who continues, day by day to take his Beloved for granted. Forgetting he chose her. That she was made for him. Moreover, she is his helpmate, battle partner; required to keep evil off of his butt!
The difference? "A Man Of Courage" understands perseverance. But more important he realizes:
LOVE IS AN ACT OF THE WILL!
Love isn’t this warm and fuzzy feeling used only to inflate our ego, selfish desires and pleasures. To be clear, ego should never partner with love. Love isn’t fleeting. The disparity between love, and “in love” is a façade.
More important, love is a decision; a commitment. You either decide to love or you decide not to love. On the same note, you either commit to love or you don’t. Plain and simple; no in between. (more on creating lasting bonds of Holy Matrimony Here maritalhealing.com)
So,if you want what you have now. If you want an average marriage. If you desire a marriage that just survives day to day. If you want a marriage that’s lackluster and lukewarm. If you want a marriage void of self-giving and unselfishness. If you want a marriage without passion, excitement or anticipation.
THIS IS NOT THE BLOG FOR YOU!
On the other hand, if you want a Holy Union that’s not just surviving but thriving. If you want a marriage, where your wife meets you at the door as you arrive home (ready to give you her total self).
If you want not just a good marriage, but a great and remarkable, out of this world, mind blowing, awe inspiring, outstanding, fruitful, legendary, crazy, magnificent, sanctifying, sacrificing marriage?
Then keep your booty right here. And begin the steps to a world never encountered.
In fact, I give you my friend, what no supreme court judge, no president, no governor, no politician, no friend, no colleague, no government, no country, no society, no university can even come close to fulfilling.
What is that you may ask? To be specific, a marriage, a wife, a family, a household full of love, commitment and self-giving. A gift given out of total love if only asked.
Furthermore, a gift of a wife, a marriage, engrained in complete peace. Can your society who you worship, give you; promise you; enlighten you; to this?
That’s okay, I’ll answer for you. NOPE, NADA, NO WAY!
If you’ll allow me, I’ll start you on a journey leading you on the path to a purposeful, meaningful (what am I here for) existence.
But, you must accept the mission. As Our Lord says, “You need only ask for forgiveness.” Then and only then will He lead you, guide you; show you His mercy.
