The goal of all aspiring members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is to become more like Christ. We accomplish (or at least try to accomplish) this by learning from Christ’s perfect example. We have been taught throughout our experience within the gospel that men are to Preside, Provide and Protect.
Within our dating experience, we learn that dates are meant to be planned, paid for, and paired-off.
Do you see the resemblance?
Look again.
Planned ↔↔↔↔Preside↠ Real Men are to be the leader within a date. They plan to watch out for you and your family, they plan to be there for their wife and family, they plan family prayer & family home evening, they plan to Preside.
Paid for→→→→Provide↠ Real Men pay for dates showing they will provide, they are to be the soul provider for your household.
Paired-off↣↣↣↣Protect↠ Real Men protect you from the world, they protect us from each other if one were to ever overstep, they stand closest to the road, they stand up and walk out of inappropriate movies, they talk you up no matter your personal thoughts on yourself.
Don't settle for anything less than a real Man.
Marianne Williamson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
