Act Like a Man: 10 Days to Stop Making Excuses and Start Making ImpactNäide

Love Like Christ

Marriage is hard because we have an enemy trying to destroy what represents Christ and His church. The relationship dynamics got cursed in the fall, creating natural tension between husband and wife.

Love isn't a feeling—it's a choice to go first. Christ didn't love us because we were lovable; He loved us while we were still sinners. That's your model for loving at home.

Stop trying to win arguments and start trying to win hearts. When you fight at home, you have two options: be right or be married. Choose marriage.

Jesus took responsibility for things that weren't His fault because He loved us. Follow His example by leading with love, especially when it's difficult.

Challenge: Do something today that serves your wife (or future wife) without expecting anything in return.

Declaration: "I will love like Christ loves—going first, taking responsibility, and choosing my family over being right."
