Good day,
This one is late, but I believe it was by God's design that it tarried a little. My coffee this morning was Door County Harvest Blend. It won't be too long before I break out the Jingle Bell Java flavor.
The next two days will be devoted to the men. But, ladies keep reading and share these two with your guy. Post them on Facebook, Google , Twitter whatever, and let's see if we can't impact some lives.
I believe that men have lost the art of dating their wives, girlfriends, and daughters. Now don't go crazy here. I am not promoting incest but actually suggesting that men spend father and daughter time and show them how a lady should be treated.
Guys, who cares what they say? Open doors for the ladies. Make sure to do some of the things that they like to do. If it's dancing, become a dancing machine. If it's planting flowers, put on your big boy pants and plant some petunias. If it's long walks on the beach, learn to walk. Let them order first at the restaurant. Hey guys, not every restaurant has to serve food on a plastic tray. Earn some extra money or skip a few luxuries for yourself and take that lady to a finer eating emporium. Make sure Christmas, anniversaries, and birthday are on your calendar. If they want two Christmas trees and for you to hang lights bright enough to hurt your eyes then "Git er done", without complaining. While dating them, stay off of the phone. Let them know that they are more important than a call from your buddy. Do the ultimate sacrifice, let them choose the movie. I have watched many a Hallmark movie with the Mrs. when I would rather have watched the Military Channel. When they cry or laugh in the movie it is a signal as to what gets to them. It's a no brainer guys. Those movies are your boot camp to successfully dating them by knowing what trips that emotional trigger.
Show them some respect. Choose the right gift. They will always tell you what would be dear to them. Just listen or you might be wearing that next mop, crockpot or fishing pole you buy them.
Take those daughters out once a month, just the two of you. Open doors, listen to them talk 90 miles an hour. Roller sake if you must and make sure you survive. Let them choose the movie. Take them out for a nice dinner without trays and golden arches. Show them the respect they should receive. Because their are plenty of clowns out there willing to date your daughter and just honk on the horn for her to come running. First time with that just disconnect his horn in front of him and send her back in the house. The second time that happens disconnect that guy from your drive way.
Because here is a clue. If you don't someone else might do it for you. One last thing. When they say it's ok, it's no big deal, deep down inside it is a big deal. Satan just loves to destroy relationships and some before they even have a chance to start off correctly. Don't fall for that one. Love them for who they are. Don't try to change them into something they are not. Rene went to one Roller derby match and I know she would go again to be polite, but she really doesn't want to go.
Most of all lead. Pray before your date with them. Read the Bible together. The best leader is a servant. Just ask Jesus!
1 Peter 5:8New King James Version (NKJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because[a] your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour
Tomorrow we will look at Building Up Your Buttercup!
Until then.
God Bless,
Marty
