Marty, I don;'t have a lot of time tonite to show you the similarites with examples that you seem to need. I will make an effort tomorrow but here is a simple point:
Quote:
I ask my boys to say tell me "what the mind of a man" and they will repeat:
What the mind of a man can concieve and believe, he can achieve with a positive mental attitude.
I ask them: What kind of attitude do you have? They Say, "A positive mental attitude." And I ask how do we keep a positive mental attitude. And they say "with smiles and goals" And I ask, "Who is going to help you learn how to write your goals?" and they say "You are". I ask to see thier smiles and they show me huge smiles.
I then ask them to tell me about winners. They say "winners never quit, and a quiter never win" And I ask them, what are you? They reply "A winner". Sometimes I ask them to scream it real loud. (My wife hears this and knows what is going on)
I say to them how much does daddy love you? They hold thier arms out as wide as they can and I say "well that does not come close but its close enough"
I make them stand infront of the mirror and say how much they like themselves and give themselves big smiles. and finally I ask them who are MY heros? They say I am and mommy is. And I repeat thats right I only have 3 heros in my life
Good core values. ANd a good start but they are all about 'self' and 'acheivement'. nothing there about OTHERS and especially women. They do take up half the space on te planet and Marty, Women are NOT LIKE US! (men) they are wired differently.
When were you going to ask the the question that you don't seem to know the answer to, which is: How do you love a woman, and How do you know a woman FEELS LOVED? WHen you know the answer yourself you may find that your relationship will change. Read The FIVE Love Languages.
