Yes ma'am... that is actually my point.

I was taught to be a gentleman... but I was never taught the fine art that your husband had mastered.

I thought people just did right because it was right. I didn't know that you had to make people do what was right.

If it was late then everybody just goes home? Right?

That's what we did... and I thought everyone else did too.

The girls in my house have been known to say "Girls rule... boys drool"

I have taken that as a lesson plan for my son. I tell him... "Girls rule... WHEN boys drool". I tell him that you have to remain in control of the situation. Not in control of people... per se... but in control of the situation. When it is time to go home... then don't take no for an answer. When lines are beginning to be crossed you have to take control of that situation....

These are things I was ill equipped to execute.

I have talked to the young boys in church before and told them... Do you plan on being the head of your household? Yes was the answer, of course.

If you plan on being the head of your household then you MUST be the head of your dating relationship. Your place as spiritual leader begins when you ask her out that first time. That is where you set the stage for the future.
