You want to know what a man is made of?  You'll find out when you are sitting in the middle of a big fat difficulty.  (We've seen one or two of those in the course of our near 13 years.)

Any guy can be romantic and sweet on a dinner date.  I'm not easily impressed. 

I'm impressed by the guy who loves his wife and children through life's difficulties.  I'm impressed by the man who sells his golf clubs because the family needs groceries.  (Brian did that once.  Seriously.)  

Love lived everyday.  Demonstrated by the dishes washed, hours spent at work disdained, stories read to little ones, and imperfections overlooked.  

Ephesians 5:25 -

 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church,

and gave his golf clubs himself for it."

That's a real man.

Trent Tribe's favorite way to eat corn on the cob.  Too good to keep a secret!

Seriously.  Try it.
