I wise person told me that the grass is not greener on the other side, it is greaner where you water it.<BR/><BR/>Relationships are this way too. My observation is that most men 'hide' behind busy-ness, and things like sports, or even isolate themselves doing 'church-stuff' rather than develop these type of bonds with other males. <BR/><BR/>There is something in our culture that says it is non-manly to confide in another male. This is bunk.<BR/><BR/>Jesus is the model, and last time I checked, he confided in 12 dudes... though one turned out to be a dudd.<BR/><BR/>Preach on Bro!<BR/><BR/>God Bless<BR/>DougDougALughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335959723414264767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1166040754893024132006-12-13T15:12:00.000-05:002006-12-13T15:12:00.000-05:00Wow, Mil-Gurl!!!

I have made many great friends since I've been married. My wife and I make sure that we give each other the relationship times we need. I know it is important for her to have time with her friends without the interuption of the kids. And I give her that time. <BR/><BR/>She knows that I need to be alone with the guys if I am going to be able to talk with any level of depth at all about my struggles. So she makes sure I get that time.<BR/><BR/>My relationships are deeper because I make them a priority. They are deeper because I <I>make</I> the time for them. But that is me. I need them. Other guys don't think they do. It doesn't matter that I think they do, each man will do whatever his emotional level will allow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1166034515392354472006-12-13T13:28:00.000-05:002006-12-13T13:28:00.000-05:00Ahhhh!

They fished together, they camped, they hunted, and the tore stuff up then smacked it with hammers. Now that dad is older he no longer camps or hunts and his hammering stuff is left to the younger man, his favorite son-in-law, his only one, but still. Dad still fishes but the friend he went with isn’t in good health so he drives him to the doctor instead. My uncles come over for football games and one uncle fishes with him. They bonded with the sweat of their brows not by sitting in the chairs looking at computers. <BR/><BR/>You’re right men need to sweat together. My man does that with friends from church and I find it to be a good thing. <BR/><BR/>Dudes Milly needs French drains I have shovels. I’ll grill meat for you, red meat. You could really bond.Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1165989912154165192006-12-13T01:05:00.000-05:002006-12-13T01:05:00.000-05:00Y'know, Jesus always sent the guys out two by two....Y'know, Jesus always sent the guys out two by two.
