Husbands be tough for your wife, but be tender with her.

Amen.

I wish I would have heard those words as a young man.

Young married man.

As a young married man.

Yes, because there is a toughness about being a man.

There's a toughness about the work that I think is required of men.

Not to say women aren't tough.

Right, that's not a conversation.

Now, yeah, I'm not to, please don't read that kind of stuff into it.

But the point here I'm trying to make is that at times our toughness can be toughness in

the wrong place.

So, we'd be tough for our wives yet tender with them.

So today, we're going to talk through how to do that, where that phenomenon even really

comes from.

Obviously, it comes from Scripture, but we're going to unpack that.

And hopefully it'll, in live men's hearts, husbands' hearts to be tender intentionally

with their wives at home, with their children at home in a way that they aren't outside of

the home.

And that their toughness would be amplified by the knowledge knowing that this is a good

thing.

There's a good and right place to have toughness.
