A group of high school, college and single men dining in a fast food were discussing on a topic every man loves to talk about – girls.

But instead of talking about their sexual exploits and misadventures – this group of men were talking about how they can protect, provide and take care of their women.

A woman on the other table, overhearing the conversation can’t help but be glad with what she was hearing. Women are looking for men who would love them, protect them, provide for them and not treat them as second class citizens. She then wrote a note to the group.

Our job description as men is to protect women and children from danger, manipulation, and all the harmful things life throws at us. We are called to be on the frontline. We are the guardians of our homes, our fiancees and our girlfriend.

In the beginning, God gave a mandate to Adam to teach and protect his wife. During the course of Satan’s temptation of Eve, Adam wasn’t absent. He was actually right next to her. But instead of stepping up and taking control of the situation to protect Eve from the serpent’s cunning, he passively waited to see if something bad would really happen.

Genesis 3:6

⁶ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.

You see, if you love something, you will fight for it. You will be desperate for it. You fight for honour, respect and purity in your relationships. You will do whatever it takes to make it happen.

A man who says he really loves his wife, but is not fighting for the marriage, is saying baloney! A man who says he loves his kids, but has no time for them and will not fight to be present in their lives, is a passive father. A boyfriend who says I love you daily to his girlfriend but would use her for his sexual needs is selfish. You see, talk is cheap. Love requires action. A lover is a fighter.

Fight for your relationships. Love your wife. Single men, love your girlfriend. Treat her with utmost respect. Honour your bodies. Keep your hands off and your clothes on.
