What is a Real Man?

Christina received an interesting comment on her blog from a man who also runs a man blog. I went to his blog and checked it out and was not surprised at the content I found; scantily clad cheerleaders and references to beer. This begs the question. What is a real man? What is a large boy? I thought I might lay down N8's Law of Mandom.

1. A real man never ever ever hits a lady.
2. A real man loves and takes care of his family.
3. A real man will protect those he loves with all his might.
4. A real man takes time to teach his children.
5. A real man knows that what goes around comes around.
6. A real man would never pass on a hug or kiss from his children.
7. A real man believes in God and relies on him for strength and guidance.
8. A real man is a leader for good things (family nights, scripture reading, saying prayers etc.)
9. A real man does all he can to make sure there is a roof over his families head and food in their bellies.
10. He shall love his wife and none other. This is the last and greatest law.

A real man is not a selfish being but knows he was put here to love, serve and protect. A large boy is a selfish being that knows nothing more than feeding his most basic desires. Ladies, if there is any bit of advice I might impart if you are looking for a spouse. Be sure you can tell the difference.

If you have any suggestions to add for the law, lets hear them.

***Disclaimer- If any of the above laws don't apply to you but you are sure you are a man, then you probably are...This is just one man's list.***

BTW-no snow yet...or in the forecast. The tractor sits waiting.

I love the laws, and am happy to report my husband lives by the same code.

Real men also are willing to stand up in front of the world and state their beliefs openly and with conviction.

It's nice to know that besides my Hubby, there is at least one more male I can point to as an example of Real Man-ship.

UTMom, aren't we lucky ladies!

Nice to meet you, I've been a fan of your 5 monkeys for awhile now. Your family is precious!
