Let me be honest with you.
Before marriage, I could have lived entirely for myself.
Wake up when I wanted.
Travel when I wanted.
Spend on what I wanted.
Answer to nobody.
Build nothing new.
Just enjoy myself and call it freedom.
But that is the trap.
Because a man left only to himself can become very comfortable and very empty.
Marriage gave me something comfort never could... responsibility with meaning.
My wife gave my life weight.
My children gave my work faces.
My decisions stopped being about appetite and started being about legacy.
And deeper than that, marriage changed how I understood love itself.
Jesus did not give Himself for the Church because He was forced to.
He gave Himself willingly.
That is what covenant love looks like.
Sacrifice.
Responsibility.
Covering.
Staying power.
That changed me.
Marriage is not just a contract to me.
It is a calling to die to selfishness.
To lead with sacrifice.
To build with love.
To become the kind of man whose presence brings peace, not confusion.
That is the benefit of marriage for a man.
Not just companionship.
Not just sex.
Not just children.
It gives him a reason to become more disciplined, more selfless, more focused, more intentional.
Left to myself, I already know the kind of man I could have remained... comfortable, amused, and going nowhere that truly mattered.
Marriage did not cage me.
It gave me a picture of Christ.
And it called me higher.
Letting the baby cry it out is just inhumane!
If you're not ready to make sacrifices for a baby to grow till they gain some level of independence, don't put to bed!
For thousands of years, babies slept with their mothers. When they cried, they were attended to. Then two men came along: Dr. Holt and John B. Watson. They said babies should be trained. That babies had to fit the assembly line schedules of their parents. "Newborns must cry to expand their lungs," they claimed. "Simply let them cry it out." And that's how the "cry it out" sleep training method was born. Watson treated babies like experiments. "Never hug or kiss your child," he wrote. "Shake hands with them in the morning." After all, mothers needed rest, to attend to their husbands and households. Watson had four children. Three attempted suicide. One succeeded. And we still follow it today. Because once you convince a mother to ignore her baby's cries, you've broken something primal.
@soigomaa Losing sleep for your infant's comfort is a huge sacrifice every patent should make. If you're not ready don't put to bed!
Y'all show up for work and personal stuff at your inconvenience anyway.
If he can't lead you spiritually just try to put all his other qualities aside and run for your life. You've invested for years in God and he'll most likely take it away from you and you'll become a shadow of yourself for the rest of your life.
Do not be unequally yoked!
I want to appeal to single Christian ladies to resist the urge to marry Men who cannot be trusted with leadership.
All your investments in God will likely be wasted if you settle with some regular dude who doesn't really rate God but claims to love you.
