15 Brutally Honest Rules For Men
The rules you need before it’s too late.
No matter your age, read these rules carefully. Memorize them. Keep them close. Return to them whenever you need to.
Rule 1: Love Her Deeply, But Never Lose Yourself
A man must love his wife fully. Love her deeply and treat her with care and respect, so she values you and your presence in her life.
At the same time, she should know that you’re a man who can walk away if necessary. That your love is not desperation, but choice.
Too many men bend over backwards trying to please a woman. They lose themselves in the process, allow her cross boundaries, disrespect them, and erode their authority.
That’s not love.
If your love for a woman isn’t matched by her respect for you and a subtle awareness that she could lose you, you risk losing your masculine center.
Love your woman deeply but let her also live with the quiet awareness that losing you would be her greatest mistake.
Rule 2: Define What Makes You Useful
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” — Albert Einstein
