Chivalry is NOT dead.



Where is this man?  So strong, riding on his horse, ready to face any adversary in his way.  Ready to protect whatever needs protecting with dignity and loyalty.

This man isn't commonplace these days.  He's hard to find.  One of a kind.

Chivalry is defined in the dictionary as the code of behavior or ethics for knights, based on telling the truth, keeping one's word and protecting one weaker than himself. It is also defined as courtesy toward women.

Chivalry isn't dead, but it desperately needs to be resuscitated.

When my husband and I were first married, I was offended when he would open the door for me.  I felt "less than" when he would try to help me with something that I couldn't do myself.

A lot has changed since then.  I have realized that chivalry rocks.  I wait for my husband or Bean to open the door for me and it makes me feel sooo good when they do.

Men want to take care of us.  It doesn't mean than we are "less", it means that we are allowing them to care for us, to protect us, to be what they are meant to be.

Men and women both have very important roles.  We are both required. 

Let your man be YOUR man.  If you can't, I would suggest you analyze what is holding you back.  I have gone down that path myself.  I understand.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." 

Philippians 4:8
