Love is a learned behavior. If you don't learn how to love yourself someone will teach you how to hate yourself.

You want a woman who, if needed, will be the CEO of the home. In essence, you want a woman who understands the difference between ambition and busyness. You also want a woman who understands that submission is strength, not weakness. Meaning, she understands the importance of your leadership but she is also strong enough not to allow you to run over her.

I had to learn how to be faithful. When I was dating around and moving from woman to woman, I did not understand and know how to be faithful. Subsequently, once I entered into marriage, I had to learn how to be with one woman. For me, that was the biggest challenge of all.

Don't make excuses! Make changes!

You'll get humbled right before you're blessed. It's just a test to make sure you can handle what's next.

The number one lesson I received from my father is to be responsible for yourself and your family. The responsibility you embrace is working, paying the bills, and coming home EACH night, just as a start.

Embrace the struggle and let it make you stronger. It won't last forever.
