I did not attend it and I wish I had. My husband and I are currently separtated. I am having such growth through what is going on and I pray that when I suggest he watch this he will. Of course from your other TV sessions I now know I must ask more than once and don't listen to the voice that says I'm nagging. Praise God for you and your ministry.

I kept being reminded of a song in the musical "My Fair Lady", Why Can't A Woman Be More Like A Man, take a listen I think you'd like it. I enjoyed your comments and agreed with alot of it, we forget to appreciate the balance of man and woman together, it's hard and annoying to understand the other person's personality and traits so let's just change them...I am learning to forgive myself for not getting it til now at 53yrs old.Smile.

Whenever I get angry at a woman asking me to act more like a woman, I have to remember that it may be an indirect way of asking me to be more safe, and more familiar. I have not always been a safe man to be around. I believe that the Lord has done a lot of good work in me, and the places are mostly gone where I was not safe because I was selfish, or superstitious, or because I had stuffed emotions. But I am still not a safe man, like any real man. I take risks, violate social norms (especially the PC ones), and I stand up and I am counted. I have found it hard to find a woman that accepts that, completely. I do need to be patient because I believe that the feminization was born in an era when men did not reprove other men for not honoring their wives. One more thing that I forgot to add.

The previous statement is part of my bent toward poll taking. I have been feminized. I have been on a long road back from where I was. When my marriage was breaking up, I felt betrayed, because she had married me for my balance of sensitivity and courage. Eventually, I was hated for my courage. Thinking that I was a total klutz with my feelings, I went to the secular men's program (New Warriors), and one of the interesting things one of the atheist men found was a web reference to Keith Drury's Money, Sex, and Spiritual power. Chapter 9 is on Male Spirituality http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/housechu/kdrury.htm#9 . The guy remarked that Keith Drury really understood male spirituality, even though he was a Christian. Mark did a good job of talking about the imbalance. It is harder to talk about the balance, of feeling fully (not stuffing), and then following faithfully, even if that means alone. God also has called me (and I believe other me), to listen to our wives even if their attitude isn't perfect (ex: Moses in Num 16:4, not his wife, but Korah, with a pretty bad attitude.) It isn't to be abused, and a man needs to stand up to his wife if she is abusing that right. But he is to live with her in an understanding way, even if he doesn't act on his or her feelings. She has a right to be listened to. It is good to know that I am not crazy sometimes. The previous statement is part of my bent toward poll taking. I have been feminized.

I had enough and I am now divorced with sole custody of our son. Many of todays churches encourage and develop divorces with not allowing men to be men. They encourage people to be tolerant of bad behavior instead of saying hey stop that it is bad behavior for fear of offending someone. I would love to have my wife back but that is something that is on the impossible side due to her involemnet in these types of churches. The jest of it is simple WE CAN DO WHAT EVER WE WANT NO MATTER HOW WRONG IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE WE ARE FORGIVEN. That is not what I believe nor do I believe that was gods intentions.

I have a son and his Father is out of the picture so I worry about him having feminine traits because he has no male role model, but Mark put it in perspective for me. I WANT TO SEE MORE ON THIS TOPIC!!! I saw this and listened to every word, couldn’t get enough.

In LYW he talked about "a closer, personal relationship with Jesus Christ" and how that is a very feminized value statement for a church to adopt. Great Stuff.
