Happy Valentine's Day

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. This is my first Valentine's Day since the dramatic changes in my life. For the first time in my life I feel like I really understand what true love is. I'm not just talking about the love I have for my wife but also the love that I have for my family and for God. I'm learning that as I relinquish control, and become a servant to my wife, we are growing closer together than we have ever been. We still have a ton of work to do but it actually feels as though we are now partners and no longer two individuals trying to get through life.

Anyone looking at this blog will notice that I have some adds on here. I don't know much about blogging, and I know that adds can sometimes be annoying, but for the most part the adds I will be putting on here are going to be links to books or other things that I have found to be important to me and things that I will be mentioning in my blogging.

The two books that I listed below have made a dramatic impact on my life. "Every Man's Battle" was the first of the two that I read and it has changed my life. Because of this book I now look at my wife in a way I never knew existed. I no longer want all my time to myself. I now desire to be with her and spend time with her as much as I possibly can. I never tire of watching her and doing things for her.

Most men out there look at a beautiful woman when she walks in the door of a restaurant or when you're walking around the mall. You may also spend a little too much time looking at the scantly clad women on the covers of the magazines at the grocery store. Maybe you spend a little bit of time on pornographic websites. These things may seem small and insignificant. After all, ALL men do it, right? You probably won't believe me when I say this but you will never understand how detrimental that is to your marriage until you stop lusting over other women completely. Read "Every Man's Battle" and you will understand.

As this blog continues I will get into more specifics about my journey and my revelations. I hope more men will also contribute so that we can help each other become the men He called us to be.
