A Month To Manliness

Our oldest son, Jake, has been doing a study with our church called, "A Month To Manliness".He started high school this year, which means the dating stage has begun. My husband and I have been trying to teach our son the proper way to treat a young lady. Teaching him that boys lead ladies closer to themselves, but men of God lead ladies closer to Jesus. Boys holler at girls. But men respect women. 

We are so thankful for the godly men in our church that are teaching our son how to be a godly man!

In courtship, in order to remain accountable there should be a few older godlier men in your teen's dating life (their pastor, father, etc). If two people date in isolation it won’t go well. Guys listen to guys, so get guys in their life that can speak truth into them and keep them accountable.

Some good advice for the young ladies: Watch the way your guy speaks to, reacts and interacts with his mother – how ever he treats her is how he will treat you when the ‘new’ wears off.

Ladies, before you get too serious about a young man make sure he has the finances to support you, is responsible, loves God, His Word, is a man of prayer, a leader, has a servant’s heart. ✞ 

Every day I pray for the women my boys will love. I hope they will be drawn to real beauties, the kind of women who will leave them better people in the end. I also pray that my sons will be worthy of this kind of woman, that they will be patient – and act honorably – while they wait for her.

Gents and young ladies, It's amazing to think that God is refining you and your future spouse into the people He created you to be. They're worth the wait!

Blessings,
