Becoming an adult and raising boys has often raised the question: "What does it mean to be a man?"

At a time of increasing negativity around masculinity, the question seems more pressing than ever.

But masculinity is good and has never changed.

"God created man" […] "male AND female He created them." -Genesis 1:27

If we look to the Creator rather than trying to define ourselves, we find that true masculinity is being what's needed for balance, well-being -to be whole.

Sometimes what's needed is stern and others, soft.

This is universally true: in the bedroom, nursery room or board room.

Masculinity is the other half of whole.
