Recently, I posed the question: are you a nurturing man? The fact that men are to be nurturers is clear from the Bible. The fact that manhood includes nurturing is most clearly pictured in the Gospel – in the way that Jesus Christ nurtures His own wife, the Church. After concluding that a man is by nature designed to nurture, the question arises – how do I do that? Here are seven ways that you can nurture your wife.
When you think of manhood and being a ‘manly’ man, what words and images come to mind? Perhaps it’s strong and fearless with warrior paint smeared across the face and a bloody sword in hand. Maybe it’s tough and skilled wearing a beard, flannel shirt, and tools strapped to a belt. But, the more important question is, where does our definition of manhood and being a man come from? For many, it is often more informed by the culture than by divine revelation.
