I read a really great article on Mark Merrill’s blog a few years ago, and i just found a copy I printed then to remind me, so I thought it would be worth sharing. By the way, if you don’t already read articles by Mark – you should! His website is here: www.markmerrill.com. And his wife Susan has a blog directed to wives here: www.imom.com.
As usual, he says a lot of important things – things for us to consider, and not just consider, but to actually act on and do.
Here’s an excerpt from his article:
The next time you are acting like a gentleman toward your wife, take a moment to reflect on what other ways you are demonstrating that same kind of care in your marriage, or maybe where you are missing it. Courtesy and chivalry do not make women inferior; if anything, they elevate women. They don’t say that women are incapable, they say that men are supposed to love selflessly. Being a chivalrous man will strengthen your marriage.

Chivalry may not quite be dead, but it’s certainly on life support.
