Difference Between A Boy and A Man...



Warmest African greetings to every one who believes that fighting to keep love alive is a good fight. I am so glad about the feedbacks I am getting from the people who got copies of the books. It's wonderful to receive the comments you have sent to me, and I am so thankful that the books are adding value to your lives and relationships.

I promised that there will be a sequel to the difference between a girl and a woman. It is right here now, before you. Enjoy, learn and share:

A BOY keeps a password on his cell phone while a MAN is confident enough to say "baby can u answer that for me"!! A BOY runs the streets & chill with his friends while a MAN is enjoying time with his woman planning ahead for their future! A BOY complains about spending too much time with his woman, a MAN plans vacations & getaways because he is wise enough to notice tomorrow must be planned for! 

A MAN takes responsibility for the challenges in his relationship, A BOY runs away from reasonability once the challenges ensue… A BOY says “Whose baby is that?!” A MAN says let’s go see your parents. A BOY says “Am not ready for this pregnancy now, A MAN says “don’t worry dear, we’ll get through this together”...

A BOY says “baby let’s go clubbing” A MAN says “baby let’s go to church”. What a BOY considers as risks, a MAN considers as priority…A MAN pays attention to the needs of his woman, A BOY is selfish and wants to be the one the sacrifice is made for.

A MAN goes into a relationship because he is ready; A BOY goes into a relationship because he feels he is old enough.
A BOY runs from the consequences of the choices he makes, A MAN sticks with his choice irrespective of the consequences that proceed out of it.
BOYs abuse their spouses and use money as a weapon of control, MEN love their spouses and stay true to their commitment, no matter the challenges they encounter in the relationship. BOYs are covenant breakers; MEN are covenant keepers.

A BOY thinks that the quality of respect he enjoys from his spouse is based on how green or otherwise his bank account is and will always loose his confidence when he is broke; A MAN knows and is confident of the fact that money is not everything and so is neither intimidated by it nor is he going to loose his confidence merely because he is broke.

A BOY is always keen to prove a point about himself and what he is capable of doing, A MAN is only keen about proving himself. A BOY feels that he should only love and not accept to be loved, because he believes that allowing himself to be loved is a sign of weakness; A MAN allows himself to be loved as much as he loves because that makes him complete and not weak…

My question is, are you a BOY or a MAN? And, are you in a relationship with a BOY or a MAN?

Blessings and more, to you and yours.

  1. Hi Brave African,
    a truly lovely post which is full of insight. It is a fact that a boy has to learn to truly love before he can call himself a man, and the teacher of that love is Jesus - who is LOVE itself.
