For the men who receive this newsletter and for the women who have men in their lives (e.g. father, son, husband, brother, fiance, boyfriend, male co-worker/boss, nephew) I am including this 40 seconds video from Mark A. Driscoll.
I have dedicated my studies, counseling, leadership, and messages to teach women about their emotions...how to understand them and regulate them.
Tomorrow I will celebrate 54 years of marriage to my husband John and together we were
blessed with two sons. I was raised in a dominantly female home and for years I struggled as a "mood manager" in my home to understand and cope with the male's emotional issues as well as understanding my own emotions.
Over the years, I've come to understand how men and women process stress, trauma, grief, despair, betrayal, shame, guilt, and abandonment in different ways. So many men are in a silent struggle because they are socialized to be strong, resilient, tough, suppress their feelings, provide, and protect at all cost. I learned to listen, pray, understand, and make room for grace instead of withdrawing, shutting down, passing judgment, shouting, blaming, dismissing, or badgering. With all of the stress from the external world for a black male...I prayed for wisdom to create a safe internal world in the home so the men in my family would lay down their armor and exhale as they walk through the door. I'm still learning how to let go of old reactions, speak up, and not take everything so personally. My self-worth, my own journey of healing, self-discovery, prayer, and gained knowledge about emotional intelligence have helped save my marriage and my sanity while also improving my patience, empathy, perspective, peace, discernment, and family relationships. This short video clip, in my opinion, speaks volumes about testosterone and masculine feelings. I pray you find it helpful.
