The Foundation of Great Relationships

When it comes to a house or any building the foundation is the most important part. If the foundation is messed up, the building won’t last. Many men struggle in their relationships because they haven’t taken the time to build a good foundation for their lives. This often happens when they don’t have an example of a good man in their life.

On the show this week, we talk about why we must build our foundation as men if we want to have great relationships. This can help us find the right woman for us or it can also help us improve our marriages. The truth is it will take work, but we are men and work is what we are good at! So start working on how you can build your foundation as a man as you listen to the show.

Good Foundations are Built on Character

- To be inwardly strong, we must be men of character

- We must embrace strong beliefs and passions that we live by

- Men without character are selfish and self-centered

- Men with character can empathize and see the big picture of life

- Character gives you the ability to serve others

Good Foundations Welcomes Growth

- When you have inner strength, you can recognize your strengths and weaknesses

- This gives you the ability to change and grow

- When a man has inner strength, he is willing to recognize when he is wrong and learn from it

- Weak men will deny their weakness and try to prop up an image

- We must recognize our need for growth if we want to be inwardly strong men of character

- Self-control and self-discipline can flow from our inward character

- It can also give us the strength to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves

Good Foundations Attract Women with a Good Foundation

- The interesting part of inward strength is it attracts women of inward strength

- Insecure Men will often attract insecure women

- Men who have character, strength, and security will often attract women who have the same attributes

- Our character helps us see what is important in potential women

- We want to work on our inward character so we can bring our whole selves to a relationship and not just part of ourselves and hide the rest

- Strong men are the ones who are the most open and upfront about themselves
