Marriage & Manhood

January 5th, 2010

I ran across a blog post that is worthy of your attention at the Archdiocese of Washington

Among the measures of mature manhood that God Himself sets forth is faithful, stable, committed marriage. After observing, It is not good for the man to be alone (Gen 2:18) God says ….A man shall leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and the two of them shall become one flesh. Thus God indicates an essential description of manhood. This is what a MAN does. Three things are taught here:

  1. A mature man recognizes that it is not good, not healthy, for him to remain alone and unattached. …
  2. Having properly sought a wife he marries her and leaves his parents to establish a home. …
  3. A man clings to his wife. …

Go and read Msgr. Pope’s (what a great name for a priest) entire article by clicking here to get the full details. I have provided only the skeleton here to peak your interest.

h/t to New Advent

    Wow. Msgr. Pope is amazing! I just listened to the audio on this.

    Men, this is stuff you want to hear. Don't you wish that you could hear such manly preaching every week?

    Thanks, Rob!
