Allow me to quote, Patrick Morley, who says ‘Manhood… is finding something we can give ourselves to, someone to share it with, and a system that explains how to make sense of our lives.’
I quote Robert Lewis, ‘ A real man is one who rejects passivity, accepts responsibility, leads courageously and expects a greater reward that is God’s reward’.
I define it this way… A real man is a male who takes initiative, lives responsibly, leads sacrificially, loves faithfully and leaves a Legacy. This five things they are the at most definition of manliness.
When we talk of a man, we talk of a father, husband, a lover, and the source. That’s why we call God Abba Father meaning our source. So a man being a father is a source. That’s why the bible says, a man lives his father and he becomes one with his wife to continue fathering the wife where the real father has left.
A man in his family more so to his wife is defined with three ‘P’s one is Provide, Protect, Profess.
