My wife and I have four sons 10,11,12,14 - we are raising four ‘real men.
They will go to Liberty University for college.
So be encouraged another generation is on the way. But be warned only ‘real women’ will be allowed to court our sons.
Blessings

Jade,

Take courage, because men like this DO EXIST! I know many of them who live up to the vast majority of the requirements on this post. But I think it is also important to keep in mind that no one is perfect; you will never meet a man who fulfills all of these qualifications perfectly. However, God is raising up a remnant of young men who are striving for godliness, who are not afraid to defy our cultural norms and serve God. So don’t despair. God is very capable of bringing the right man into your life at the right time.

One more thing (and I’m totally preaching to myself here). I know from personal experience that it is so easy to get overly focused on how I think the guys should act, or on the “‘prospects” around me. But as single young women, that is not where our attention should be. Yes, we should use discernment in evaluating the young men in our lives. But our primary focus and goal should be to grow in how to be godly women who are worthy of Real Men. I think it’s very possible that the guys are wondering if there are any Real Women left! So let’s try to do everything we can to live up to how God’s Word says WE should live. And ultimately, it is only by the Grace of God that any of us can become more like Jesus.

I know it can be discouraging when we see so many bad examples all around us. But Real Men do exist, and God is not limited by the odds.

Hope this helps. God bless you.

All of these qualities are awsome and I will definetly be putting them on my ‘Prayer Requests For My Future Husband’ list (I know it sounds kinda wierd, but I didn’t know what else to call it). But, the problem is that I on’t even think that such a man can exist. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope he does, but I feel like all the guys I know and see around me are the ‘teenie-bopper, boy-band’ type. I know that I shouldn’t be getting discouraged, I’m only fourteen. But even my parents say that I’ll be waiting for this guy for eternity. Does anyone have any advice?

It’s really encouraging that there are men out there that care and strive to be all who God wants them to be! When you look at the world they portray men as being gross and consumed with themselves, but it’s nice to be reminded that that’s not true and that there is a man out there that would be a good partner one day.

There are A LOT of great Bible references and examples to support what a real man is. But, I have a little bit of my own thoughts to add to this. These are my guidelines that I follow when dating and looking for a future husband. (I don’t know how familiar anyone who reads this is with the Book of Mormon, but I will just say, the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.) In Alma 48:11-13, 17 it says;
11. And Moroni was a STRONG and MIGHTY man; he was a man of a PERFECT UNDERSTANDING; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the LIBERTY and FREEDOM of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;
12. Yea, a man whose heart did swell with THANKSGIVING TO HIS GOD for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did LABOR exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.
13. Yea, and he was a man who was FIRM IN THE FAITH OF CHRIST, and he had sworn with an oath to DEFEND his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.
17. Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

Men, let’s rise up and embrace our true purpose as “children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which we shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the word of life-in order that we may boast on the day of Christ that we did not run or labor for nothing” (Philippians 2:15-16). My thanks goes out to the two ladies who wrote this. Thank you for giving us a womanly (and biblical) perspective on true manhood.

These actions that a man must have are very simple, but it seems in this generation that most men go out of their way to accomplish the foolish and wrong ways. This website is a real blessing, and I hope to become a Man of God in all my actions, and not fall into what the world wants me to follow. With God He can make US into the Men He Created US to be.

this article as i see sends a reminder to us guys of what God wants from us and not what humans want and that we should reach Gods goals for as it shows in this list of examples and verses.
