The MENtal Fight Of Your Life

By Freddie Floyd Jr.

The book's first five chapters speak directly to young adult men as they grow into adulthood. This teaches them the importance of standing their ground to be real men, fighting against themselves to not give up on themselves as men, how to love their wives, and understand her position in their life. The remaining six chapters are directed to both genders as they grow and attempt to understand their walk-in partnership. From having standards in relationships to asking the big question before you say, "I do."

We live at a time when men call right, wrong and wrong, right. At a time when evil is called good and good is called evil.

—Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)

Preface

The first five chapters of the book speak mostly to men and how we are called to stand up and fight for our families. The remaining chapters will then begin to shift to both genders attempting to get a better understanding of the two sexes. How they should treat one another, take responsibility for their own actions, and raise their standards in relationships.

God instituted marriage before he made the church. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. The two shall become one flesh. God brought man and woman together, but a man without God is but dust.

Introduction

The word love means different things to different people, depending on your background. To love with God's love in your marriage, you need to be connected to Him and joined spiritually to your spouse. To have a great relationship, there needs to be a high level of respect on the part of both partners. Couples who are less intentional and accomplished in this area will find that their lack of respect holds their partnership down to a lower level of well-being.

There are some simple steps one can take to stop habituated patterns that are disrespectful and replace them with more responsible ways of relating. Whether your relationship has just begun or you've been together for years, we all want a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship with the one we love. You can choose what kind of relationship you will have. It is within your reach! Of course, some of it has to do with picking the right person in the first place. You need to look for random acts of consideration and kindness. Men, know your role or position when presenting yourself to a young lady, and ladies, have quality standards.

Chapter 1

The Fight

Fighting is an all-too-common phrase for black men in America. We have been fighting since the beginning of our existence, but the type of fight I am preparing to discuss in this chapter is not the fight most may think of. This fight that we are about to discuss could be more volatile than one can imagine. You watch television, and perhaps you notice how people cheer and get excited watching men fight.

Men fighting on television has had some of the highest ratings on air. Whether we are watching wrestling, UFC, or boxing, it makes no difference. People cheer when men are going to war against one another. You can go to your job the day after a big fight, and the talk at work is about who got knocked out. The physical battle has become so ingrained in our society that you can even go to a YouTube channel and watch people fight and cut the fool. We cheer for foolishness. But what about the fight that we have going on in our heads? No one talks about the battle that we, as men deal with daily, have dysfunction that's right between our ears. It's hard being a man, and we must constantly fight. But there is no bigger fight than the battle against the urge not to give up. It's time that we stop making excuses for life and become the man that God envisioned us to be when he created us, despite our dysfunction. God is still on the throne.

In this chapter, I want to speak about the first family from the first book of the Bible. I call it the book of beginnings.

The very first book, as we know, is Genesis. According
