Good morning gentlemen, As being gentlemen in this day and age, it’s important to take relationships seriously when you make a commitment to your wife or significant other. Many of us have been in previous relationships that we could have, should have done better or tried harder. We also have been in relationships that has caused us pain and grief. Whatever the circumstances were, we cannot live in the past and we cannot make others pay for past mistakes. When we as gentlemen make a commitment to be in a relationship we have to take it seriously and build the relationship. Over several relationships and finally listening to my father and grandfather’s advice I follow these seven principles that work for a successful marriage or relationship. Now these are just a few and these or what my family taught me. I’m sure there are more or you might have other advice. But these are what I found have worked in my marriage. Let’s be the gentlemen the young men around us and in our communities can look up to, and the men around us can see. I know I spoke of this before, but I have been seeing women being treated as property, or that they are there for one reason. I asked a young man what his wants in a woman? I asked him to pick ten things that he wants in a woman . When he finished, I told him to be those ten things to her. If you want her to be those things, then you have to be willing to to be those to her. Here Are Seven Non Negotiable’s as a God fearing Husband. 1. My wife has my full attention. No other woman gets that. 2. Respect my wife or our marriage, If you cannot we cannot be friends. I have zero tolerance for those who  disrespect of my wife. You do, you will be kept at a distance. Whether you’re my best friend, life long friend, or family. 3. I do not watch or dabble in pornography. It kills real connection, gives false intimacy, gives false illusions, and is disrespectful to my wife. 4. I prioritize spending with my wife. One day our kids will move out and I don’t want us to feel like strangers when that happens. 5. I avoid toxic relationships, I don’t hang around men who cheat or neglect their kids. Because if they can betray their own wife and kids they cannot be trusted. 6. My wife will not be a single parent and carry the load of the home all by herself, I live here too. 7. I cover my wife in prayer, because although she may be my wife, she is still God’s daughter and he entrusted me with her. God gave me a good woman and he gave me favor, therefore I will guard her with my life. Because the Bible says they are more precious than rubies.
