• Most passionate romances seem to end up with evenings in front of the TV.
• What went wrong with our fairy tale:– None of us really ever thought the enemy was real
(sorcerer, dragon,…) we thought we could have her without a fight and that the biggest battle was asking her out.
– We have also not realized she is in a damsel in distress (wounded)
• Eve is the crown of creation, she embodies the exquisite beauty and exotic mystery of God. And she is a special target fot the Evil One.

Eve’s Wound 182
• Some women’s wounds came with violence and others with neglect.
• She is haunted by the questions:– Am I lovely?
– Will you pursue me?
– Do you delight in me?
– Will you fight for me?
• Every woman needs to know she is exquisite, exotic and chosen
• She has been wounded and heard, “you are not beautiful and no one will really fight for you”

• Like many of the men’s wounds their wounds come at the hand of her father.
• A little girl looks to her father to know if she is lovely.
• The power he has to cripple or bless is just as significant to her as it is to his son.
• Violent fathers Janet’s story183
• Passive fathers Stasi’s story183
• John and Stasi’s story revisited 184
• The number one problem between men and their women is that when we men, when asked to truly fight for her…….hesitate.

Offering our strength 184• Proverbs 30:18-19
• A different look at sex:
• The man comes to offer his strength and the woman invites the man into herself, an act that requires courage and vulnerability and selflessness for both of them.
• The beauty of a woman arouses and man to play the man; the strength of the man, offered tenderly to his woman, allows her to be beautiful, it brings life to her and to many.
• The same is true on how we offer her our words

• “Life and death in the power of the tongue” Proverbs 18:21
• John’s words to Stasi 185
• If a man refuses to offer himself , then his wife will remain empty and barren.
• A violent man destroys with his words.
• A passive (silent) man starves his wife.
• John’s friend’s new bride 186
• We are called to sacrifice our strength for them,
• This is what makes Maximus or William Wallace heroic. They are willing to die to set others free.

• Joseph’s story 186
• “they will be called oaks of righteousness” Isaiah 61:3. There under a man’s strength the woman finds rest.
• The masculine journey takes a man away from the woman so that he might return to her. E goes to find his strength and then returns to offer it.
• He tears down the walls of the tower that has held her with his words and his actions.
• He speaks to her heart’s deepest question in a thousand ways, yes you are lovely, yes there is one who will fight for you.
• Since most men have yet to fight the battle, most women remain in the tower.

Using Her 187
• Most men want the maiden without any cost to themselves.
• That is what draws men to pornography:
• He gets to enjoy the woman at her expense
• When a man insists on being energized by the woman, he uses her to get the feeling he is a man
• It is a false strength because it comes from outside and not from his deep center
• Tamar page 187-188

• Most men marry for safety, they chose a woman who will make them feel like a man, but never really challenge them to be one.
• Why don't men offer what they have to their women, because we know down deep in our guts that it won’t be enough.
• Barrenness of Eve 189
• What if it does not work?
• Work for what?– Validate you as a man?
– Resurrect her heart in one day?

• You can’t bring your question to Eve. No matter how good of a man you are you can never be enough.
• If she is the report card on your strength you will ultimately get an F, but that is not why you love her, to get a grade.
• You love her because that is what you were made to do.
• That’s what a real man does
