Let's expect the best of each other. Not because we trust each other so much, but because we trust the transforming power of our Father's grace. Stay up-to-date on what God is doing in the life of that person near you, and don't leave them frozen in time. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/men-s-work-women-s-work-6288 2011-03-11T16:17:27-05:00 You demonstrate your dignity, not by how many people do things for you, but how many people you do things for. That's manhood! Jesus, the ultimate model of manhood - a muscular carpenter - can be a foot washer. The mighty Son of God can be a servant. That's the kind of real man that a woman loves to love. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2021:5&version=NIV 2009-10-06T11:30:23-05:00 Jesus' incredible statement that he is "making everything new."

So she brings out her hammer and chisel - nagging him to change, pushing, criticizing, attacking, putting him down. She's making this guy her personal makeover project - "I'll change him." Not likely. All those push tactics make him feel cornered, attacked - less secure and therefore, less likely to change.
