"If we do not have dominion over our passions, especially those for food and sex, we cannot master ourselves and put the interests of others before our own."

Here are some Christ-centered ways a husband can create a joyful, loving marriage by serving, honoring, and leading his wife:
1. Pray with Her and for Her
• Pray together daily and seek God’s guidance for both your lives. Pray individually for her needs, spiritual growth, and protection.
2. Show Selfless Love and Compassion
• Embrace Christ’s sacrificial love by putting her needs above your own. Show compassion through kind words and actions, always seeking her good.
3. Be a Spiritual Leader
• Lead by example in faith and integrity, prioritizing God’s Word in daily life. Encourage her spiritual growth by reading the Bible together, praying, and fostering a faith-filled home.
4. Encourage and Affirm Her Daily
• Encourage her strengths, dreams, and growth. Affirm her beauty, intelligence, and kindness to make her feel valued and appreciated.
5. Serve Her in Practical Ways
• Help with chores or errands, or surprise her with small acts like preparing breakfast or helping with her daily tasks. These gestures show you’re mindful of her comfort and happiness.
6. Listen to Her with Patience and Empathy
• Give her your full attention and listen without judgment, whether she’s sharing concerns, dreams, or everyday stories. Listening with empathy builds intimacy and trust.
7. Show Physical Affection and Care
• Make her feel cherished with physical affection: holding her hand, hugging, and gentle touches. Physical closeness helps deepen emotional bonds.
8. Take Initiative in Planning Date Nights
• Make time for romance by planning thoughtful dates, even if they’re simple, like a movie night or a walk. This strengthens your connection and keeps the romance alive.
9. Be Quick to Forgive and Slow to Anger
• Approach conflicts with patience and grace. Be willing to forgive quickly, prioritizing unity over being “right.”
10. Express Gratitude for Her Efforts
• Regularly thank her for all she does, whether at home or in other aspects of life. Recognizing her efforts and saying thank you makes her feel valued and loved.
11. Lead with Humility and Gentleness
• Embrace Christlike humility and lead gently, respecting her voice in all decisions. Seek her opinions and consider her needs with a servant’s heart.
12. Protect and Provide for Her
• Prioritize her safety and well-being, both physically and emotionally. Provide stability and reassurance, especially during challenging times.
13. Be Open and Honest with Your Feelings
• Build trust through honest, open communication. Share your dreams, struggles, and hopes, letting her into your heart and life.
14. Encourage Her Talents and Passions
• Support her gifts and encourage her pursuits. Whether she’s pursuing a career, hobbies, or ministry, let her know you’re her biggest cheerleader.
15. Handle Finances Responsibly
• Make financial decisions that honor your family’s needs and goals. Plan wisely, budget, and invest in your shared future with her in mind.
16. Make Her Feel Beautiful and Cherished
• Regularly compliment her beauty, both inner and outer. Leave notes, send sweet messages, or surprise her with small gifts to remind her she’s special.
17. Offer to Pray for Her Specific Needs
• Ask her if there’s anything she’d like prayer for, and take time daily to lift her needs up. This shows genuine care for her well-being.
18. Honor Her in Front of Others
• Speak kindly about her to family, friends, and others, showing respect and pride. Honoring her publicly reinforces her value in your life.
19. Make Time for Quality Moments Together
• Set aside time just for the two of you, free from distractions. Whether it’s a quiet conversation or a shared activity, being present strengthens your bond.
20. Be Patient with Her Imperfections
• Extend grace and patience when she makes mistakes. Recognize that marriage is a journey of growth, and love her through every step.
21. Express Love and Appreciation with Little Gestures
• Surprise her with flowers, a note, or her favorite treat. These thoughtful gestures can make her feel adored and cherished.
22. Be a Safe Place for Her Emotions
• Create an emotionally safe space for her to share her feelings without fear of judgment. Be gentle, compassionate, and understanding.
23. Pursue Personal Growth for Her Sake
• Work on personal development, whether it’s growing spiritually, improving health, or managing emotions. Becoming a better man makes you a better husband.
24. Prioritize Her Needs and Happiness
• Consider her needs when making decisions, both big and small. Showing that her well-being matters builds trust and deepens love.
When a husband loves, serves, and leads in this Christ-centered way, he honors his marriage, builds his wife up, and lays a foundation for a joyful and fulfilling partnership. ❤️

Muscular Christianity is objectively one of the funniest movements in religious history. Jesus wants you to be swole. He wants you to admire the giant, rippling muscles of this statue. It’s red-letter scripture that thou must never skip leg day. Eat this granola bar and drink this protein shake in remembrance of me.
#religion#history#muscular christianity#the only thing funnier than muscular christianity is how popular it was#Victor Hugo: yes describing Jean Valjean’s rippling manly attractive muscles is relevant to this plot. It’s the proof that he’s Jesus.#ditto with Dickens#if you think about it - the Walden self reliance philosophy was just the transcandental-agnostic version of the same thing#what the fuck was going on???

Told my religious trauma coach that my gender is "a 1930's orphan boy selling newspapers" I think I might have to go back to Jesus after this one lads
#/j#We had a good talk about how christianity doesn't have genders it has jobs#And how I wanted agency but feel like I have to fully be a Man to avoid being punished by the current legislature being passed#I feel more dysphoric and part of it stems from feeling like I'm being observed again like I was as a little girl#Being told that people would be looking at my body and it was my job to make it acceptable to others#Now I'm transmasc so there's a weird pressure to become Manly Man Now or else I'll be stuck#Maybe I can relax but first I need top surgery and 3 years of T (i'm at 2.5 years and have a consultation call)#Then I can enjoy gender. Then Im free#But I can't because I'm not a man either. Ill feel better with top surgery and whatnot but I don't feel solidly male#Ill just be restraining myself and observed from the other side#Anyways I was saying I wanted my gender to be personal and abstract#but I used this phrase as an example and think this might be it I'm gonna have to give up my other 5 sessions /j#I called myself a golden retriever and a newspaper orphan boy I can never show my face again#ex christian#religious trauma

"James Bond's name is the height of irony because he is a man with no bonds. Yet true masculine love will always build bonds! On the Cross and through the Eucharist, Jesus gives His very blood to bind us to Himself in love. At the Last Supper, offering us the Eucharist, His prayer to the Father is "that they may be one, even as we are one" (Jn 17:11). As He proclaims, His committed, binding love will "draw all men to [himself]" (Jn 12:32). In its Latin root, the word religion implies "binding together." Thus, it is no wonder that in a culture of broken bonds, so fearful of commitment, we often hear, "I'm spiritual, but not religious." Satan is also "spiritual but not religious!" A man who lives life without a single, self-giving bond in his life deserves our pity, not our admiration."
-Bishop Thomas J Olmsted, Manual For Men

"Men, we must never believe that holiness and courage are things of the past! You and I are called to a holiness that shows Christ to the world as our forefathers have done countless times throughout history, following the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, in this time of evil's growing boldness, each man must prepare himself for nothing less than martyrdom, whatever form this may take, and to instill in his children and grandchildren the willingness to do the same."
-Bishop Thomas J Olmsted, Manual For Men
