When a Man Loves a Woman Well

if you contemplate the woman as the weaker container of the glory of God your main response husband is honor honor and I believe and it's it's very controversial and very difficult to put into words that there is unique honor that goes back and forth between a husband and a wife unique to the kind of dignities and the kind of strengths and weaknesses that we all have and this kind of Honor I would suggest shows itself in things like this you will not be harsh with her you you may rough it up with the guys you

know you know you know bumping each other talking dirty and you know but you don't do that with her you don't do that there there is there is an honor that corresponds with the woman and it's not harsh rather the positive side it's tender it's gentle it's protective I think it is written on a man's god-given Soul when he hasn't suppressed it by sin and the media to feel like he ought to protect his wife no matter what and that he ought to be gentle and kind with her and that he ought to um provide

for her and there may be all kinds of reasons why some of those can't happen if he's disabled for example but I'm just saying written on a man soul is a kind of honoring here that takes its key from the woman as the weaker vessel by God's design so that his honor is especially I'm there for you always no question and I will never put you forward if there's a loud noise downstairs I will never say hey we're 50/50 in this marriage here turn and go find out who's down there I love to mock that

I do I love to mock that cuz there's so many people talking about that kind of marriage and they have been for 40 years I tend to use bad language when I think about it um that's evil this 50 50 stuff we just split it right down the middle and you vacuum half I vacuum half you wash half I wash half you do this and that um or let's get real Competency Based that's that's what most say let her do what she's best at doing so she's got the black belt in karate send her down

there noise some noise downstairs jiggling around there a burglar down there send her down damn that thought to hell because the issue is not competency the issue is do I have a masculine soul that responds with honor towards this woman in a way that makes her my treasure my fellow heir of the grace of Life whom I will stand up for I will protect and if that burglar takes me out she might take him out but I'm going down first
