Strength is a very positive characteristic, but it is not the strength of a man that attracts a woman. She will feel secure by your strengths, but it is the gentleness of a man that attracts her. Because the man was made from the dust of the ground and the woman was made from his rib, everything that is in her is in him. She needs the things in him that identify with the things in her. This is why a woman is attracted to a man who is caring with children, affectionate, a good conversationalist, and romantic. These are perhaps what would be considered feminine traits. What she needs is for him to get in touch with his feminine side without feeling that his masculinity is being threatened.

The masculinity of Jesus was not threatened when he wept at the gravesite of Lazurus, when he washed his disciples' feet, or when he showed an open display of affection for children. The Bible states in the book of Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 3, "yea I have love thee with an everlasting love, therefore with love and kindness have I drawn thee." It is with gentleness that God has drawn us to him, and if a man is to love his wife as Christ loved the church, he will find that love and kindness will draw her to him as well.
