True Strength

In today’s world, genuine strength is a matter of integrity, not physicality. – A.R. Bernard

 

Physical Strength

This is the last in my series of “What Women Want From Men.” We’ve covered Maturity, Character, and Decisiveness.

It’s nice to be physically strong. There is nothing wrong with being in shape and taking care of our bodies. Is that all that matters? Are you a man that relies on being physically strong or at least being stronger than your spouse? I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but that’s not enough anymore. Strength for a man has changed and has a deeper meaning now.

Be Decisiveness

Decisiveness is insight in action. It’s the ability to know what’s right and, just as important, it’s the willingness to do what’s right. A. R. Bernard

Decision Making is Key

You do know that God and your spouse want you to be a mature man, right? We talked about maturity and what it means to be mature in the last post. Today we’re moving to the next characteristic; Decisiveness. We don’t want to be people that struggle with decision making. We don’t want to let fear grip us and bring our lives to a standstill because we are afraid to make a decision. 

Frustrated

Being indecisive can lead you to be an emotional mess. People who have a people-pleasing mindset can easily find themselves like this. They are so focused on pleasing everyone that they miss God and then end up doing nothing because they don’t want to disappoint anyone.

Happy Father’s Day in 2020

It’s June already!!! Between the Coronavirus and the fight for racial equality, it seems like this first half of the year passed before we could realize it. Now it’s the halfway point in the year and it feels like we’re all just getting back outside. You may not have even realized it, but Father’s Day is this weekend. I know right!! Where did the time go? How can we celebrate Father’s Day this year?

There are plenty of gifts that you can google for Father’s Day. While the socks, ties, and grill sets are nice, we can do more for the special dads in our lives. Here are some ways to think outside the box when planning for Father’s Day. 

Father's Day can be as special as you make it. It’s not really about the gifts and cards, but more about trying to show love to the men in our lives. Click To Tweet

  1. Speak His Love Language

If you know the 5 Love Languages, then you know that we each have a dominant language. The fathers in our lives have one that speaks to their heart. Instead of the traditional gift, try planning something around their love language. 

  1. A Gift Aimed at Their New Hobby

Has the man in your life recently started a new hobby or have they been talking about something that they’ve wanted to start? You can get them a gift that might help them in this new hobby. 

  1. A New Way to Show You Love Them

Every man wants to hear that they are loved, appreciated, and valued. It may be hard for them to say it in return or to receive, but this Father’s Day would be a great time to express your love and appreciation in a new way. 

Father’s Day can be as special as you make it. It’s not really about the gifts and cards, but more about trying to show love to the men in our lives. 

In the times that we live in now, it’s even more important to show love to the black men around us. Tell them that they are appreciated and loved. There are more and more cases where they are being killed. So instead of watching the news, express love to your fathers, sons, uncles, and other men in your life. 

Happy Father’s Day!
