Question for the married men of the channel

How does a young man find purpose and contentness with himself, which is a necessary step to being ready to marry?

This is how men kill their demons.

Train your boys to be men.

Thoughts?

Husbands, God's purpose for your wife is to be your helper--to help you fulfill the work God has set before you. However, too many men suppress and ignore their wives counsel in an effort to be more manly but, as a result, they simply become half the man God intended them to be. Husbands, your wife's reminders to pray with her, or to spend more time with your kids, or to not work so late, or to lead your family, or to correct a character flaw is not nagging, it's her doing what God designed her to do.
The fact that we need help from a woman isn't because we're broken, it's because we're broken without it.

Bishop Williamson's Letter:
Girls at University
Winona, September 1, 2001

Concretely, if a girl devotes several years of her youth and much money of her parents to acquiring a university education, especially a decent one, how easily will she submit to her husband, especially if he has not had that education?

And how may she not argue with him if he has had it?

And if she has a "degree", how will she not think herself above the multiple humiliations of being "barefoot and pregnant"?

And if she is a "graduate", how will she not hold-herself superior to being-a “vegetable at the-kitchen-sink"?

And if making a family makes her forget in the right kind of way all about "graduating", "degrees" and "university", why go there in the first place?

The dilemma is inescapable: in doing manly things like going to a university, either she is merely going through the motions or she is damaging her potential for motherhood - conclusion: she should not go there.

from a sub : I'm a nanny and no matter how much I love those kiddos as if they were my own, I can never replace a mother. Don't get a second car, eat at home, and buy second hand and you can afford to stay home with your babies. They need you. I literally had this exact experience with a little boy that I worked with. He was in his moms closet saying "I just want my mom" and crying and I couldn't comfort him because I'm not her. It was heartbreaking.

Country kids... 😂🤍 The look on the horses faces say:
"I didn't do anything, mom!"

IMPERIVM

The Devil will exaggerate your mate's failures and inadequacies, sow suspicion and jealousy, indulge your self-pity, insist that you deserve something better, and hold out the hollow promise that things would be better with someone else. But hear Jesus' words, and remember: God can change hearts and remove all hardness if we simply allow Him.

Be the extremist the media says you are.
