What to Do When Your Wife Disrespects You (and How to Lead Through It)
How Christian men can respond biblically, calmly, and with strength In a healthy relationship between a man and a woman, both have deep, God-given needs. Men long to feel respected, and women long to feel loved. Ephesians 5:33 points this out clearly: the husband must love his wife, and the wife must respect her husband. When either one stops receiving what they most need, the relationship begins to strain. When both stop giving what the other needs, that gap can…

Day 6 – Guarding Against Adultery Scripture “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.” Psalm 119:9 Introduction Few things destroy a man’s life faster than adultery. It doesn’t start with the act. It starts with a slow drift of the heart.

Christlike Leadership and Graceful Submission – A Man’s Part in a Biblical Marriage
When I first posted about The Biblical Order of the Family, as part of the blog post, I had attempted to write a thorough examination of the structure of a biblical marriage according to Ephesians chapter 5. Although I think that the blog article covers the topic well enough, there was still a lot of nuance that might have been lacking. Therefore, below is a closer look at what exactly is entailed by the God-given roles of men and women…
She Becomes the Standard – A Husband’s View of Beauty
When a man takes a wife, the world shouldn’t remain the same in his eyes. Not when he understands marriage through the lens of covenant. In that sacred moment, when he says, “I do,” a shift is meant to take place in his heart, soul, and yes – even his vision. His wife becomes the standard of beauty. That means her smile, her shape, her voice, her presence – these now define what is lovely to him. Not the women…

Christian men, please take note of this. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, and as Christian men, we are called to love our wives as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25).

The Nashville Statement
The Nashville Statement, first published online on August 29, 2017, was crafted by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) in Nashville, Tennessee. This document is an evangelical Christian declaration concerning human sexuality and gender roles. It advocates for traditional marriage between one man and one woman, emphasizes fidelity within marriage, promotes chastity outside of marriage, and underscores the connection between biological sex and one’s identity as male or female. Additionally, the Statement expresses opposition to LGBT sexuality, same-sex…
The Danvers Statement
The Danvers Statement delineates the complementarian Christian perspective on gender roles. It isn’t tied to any specific Christian denomination but has garnered recognition from institutions like the Southwestern Baptist Seminary, the Presbyterian Church in America, and the International Council for Gender Studies. Initially unveiled by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) in Wheaton, Illinois, it traces its origins to discussions among “several evangelical leaders” at a CBMW gathering in Danvers, Massachusetts, in December 1987.

How To Be Sexually Pure As A Man
Sexual purity is an essential aspect of any man’s life, and it is a concept that is emphasized throughout the Bible. God has created sexual intercourse to be a wonderful, holy, and precious thing in a marriage between one man and one woman. But anything that deviates from that is outside of what God intended and fits in the broad category of sexual immorality. Sexual immorality includes any sexual activity outside of marriage, including pornography, premarital sex, adultery, homosexuality, and…

For Better Or For Worse
I hear a lot of people compare a relationship with God to marriage. I have never been married, but I see why marriage has been used as a metaphor for a life as a Christian. Marriage is a life of great suffering and great joy. Men are commanded to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Christ was willing to suffer with us even at our worse. God is ready to celebrate us when we are at our best…
Men, Here’s How to Never Lose Your Wife Or Your Girlfriend
Christian men, I have to be blunt here. When it comes to most of us and the opposite sex, our approach is downright deplorable. More than ever, we who call ourselves followers of Jesus need genuine, rock-solid advice on how to improve our relationships with our wives and girlfriends. For whatever reason, most men feel like taking in useful marriage and dating guidance is not worth the effort. Quite often, we would rather toss back a few cold ones with…
Boaz Is A Metaphor For God’s Favor

Boaz is viewed by many as the prince charming to Ruth’s cinderella story, but in reality, Boaz is a sign of God’s grace. Boaz came into Ruth’s life as a miracle worker. Ruth was a single woman with not a lot of skills, but she had a desire to leave behind her old life in Moab to…
