His wife stands with him when all others, except God, will forsake and abandon him. The true measure of a man is contained within the way he regulates, and conducts himself within the most important relationship he will ever have in his life–his marriage. The true measure of a man is contained within one who has learned to be truly content within his circumstances, instead of consistently being unsettled, trying to always fix himself using outside sources that will never fix an inside problem. Because all that he has, can be taken away from him at any time–and he knows this. The true measure of a man is contained within the fact that he is truly thankful unto the Lord for all that he has. The true measure of a man is contained within his mature way of dealing with problems as they come about-he doesn’t become a “victim of circumstances”, act out in a passive-aggressive way, nor whine, cry and complain loudly because things don’t go his way. The true measure of a man is contained within the relationships he builds with his children, whether small or grown as they will carry the lessons learned and follow the clear example he teaches, far into adulthood, and his memory will live on, long after he is gone. The true measure of a man is contained within the way he treats his family, immediate, or extended, as he treats them like the fine treasures they are, because they add so much to his life. He treats them as he would want to be treated, with kindness, gentleness, tolerance, and understanding.

The true measure of a man is contained within the way he treats the friends that are choosing to be in his life.

The true measure of a man is contained within the deep commitment he shows toward God, himself, his marriage, and his life.
