MARRIAGE
People have been blindsided regarding marriages. We don’t see the path to manhood, and we often don’t know how to view relationships, marriage, and our role as spouse.
A key to the problem people face is that we don’t understand the Importance of relationships. It’s the gold standard of selfless love, the blueprint for building a family and blessing your children.
Marriage needs to be re-explained. It needs to be re-branded as an awesome, noble, and challenging adventure. Our our happiness, and our children’s future depend on marriage—yours, mine, and everybody else’s.
In a culture of counterfeits and mistruths, it’s important to understand what marriage is about. As you read through , ask yourself to remake you and help you understand what it means to be a partner. Let’s value marriage and relate well to spouse, whether we’re married yet, or preparing for one.
