What Will Happen If We Do Nothing to Prepare Our Sons to Fight for Their Future Families?

I have spoken at countless woman’s events the past two decades, and I can’t tell you how often broken women have shared the same stories with me, over and over, about how empty their marriages are or how the marriage ended.

Every time I come home, I cry out to God to give our men the strength to fight for their families, remain faithful, and gain knowledge on how to love their wives and protect their families.

Then one day it occurred to me: The way a man loves a woman has a lot to do with what he learned as a little boy through his relationship with his mother. This is because she is the first woman God placed in his life until he is married.

What if a husbands had a mother who invested her life not only in cooking, cleaning, and caring for her son, but also in carefully and deliberately bestowing upon him what every man desires to know—how to understand and care for the fragile heart of his bride?

Imagine how differently many tragic love stories would end if every new bride took the hand of a well-trained hero—a stronger warrior, equipped for victory as a loving leader. The marriage love story would be much more fulfilling if young princes were raised learning the art of loving their future wives.
