Fighting for Her: A Warrior’s Call to Love and Protect the Beauty

In the beginning, God created Adam. For a while, it was just the two of them—God and man. The Bible doesn’t tell us how long they were alone together, but we do know this: it was a time of closeness, of conversation, of connection.

God gave Adam the world and said, “Explore this. I made it for you. There are challenges out there, but I made you capable. You have what it takes because I put it in you.” That’s the heart of a Father who didn’t just make man to follow rules, but to walk beside Him in deep, daily relationship.

That same heart shows up again when Jesus walks the earth. He doesn’t just teach His disciples—He loves them. He walks with them, eats with them, prays with them. He heals their family. He meets them in their struggles. This isn’t a new approach—it’s how God always intended us to live: in close, intimate connection with Him.

But something was missing in Adam. Not a flaw—but a reflection of God’s fullness that Adam alone didn’t carry. Adam didn’t encompass the whole image of God—especially the beautiful, imaginative, nurturing parts. So, God created Eve. Not “apart from” Adam—but a part of him. Like the final puzzle piece, or the missing Lego that completed the work of art.

God placed in Eve the part of Himself that breathe color into the world—sunrises, poetry, compassion, and creativity. This enraged Satan.

Why Satan Targets Women – and the Beauty They Carry

Satan already hated Adam because God gave mankind something angels were never had: dominion over the earth and the promise of sharing in God’s Kingdom. But when God created Eve—when he gave humanity even more of His nature, especially beauty and creativity—Satan’s rage intensified.

In the Garden, Satan targeted Eve. Not by accident. Not because she was weaker. But because she carried something that Satan envied and feared: the part of God that gives life, inspires hope, and reflects divine beauty.

The Bible says in Genesis 3:15:

“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers…”

That’s not just about Eve. That’s about every woman. God declared war between the enemy and women—a battle that still plays out today. And why? Because through a woman, God would bring the Savior into the world. Because through women, life continues. Because through their faith, nurture, and strength, families are shaped, children are raised, and futures are formed.

Women are life-givers, both physically and spiritually. That’s why Satan fights them so hard. That’s why the lies come at them so relentlessly: “You’re not enough. You’re not worthy. You’re not beautiful. You’re not chosen.”

It’s all a strategy—to try and stop the unshakable power God placed in women from coming to life.

Childbearing as a Reflection of God

Think about it: a woman’s body creates life. A child is formed in her womb, is fed from her body, protected within her for nine months. They’re given the three essentials of human life—food, water, shelter—all from their mother.

That’s not just biology. That’s a physical representation of what God does for us spiritually. He surrounds us. He feeds us. He sustains us. And just like the womb is a place of unseen growth and future purpose, so is our walk with Him.

Every pregnancy, every child, every new life is a reminder of God’s creative love.

The Tower, the Sorcerer, and the Dragon

So many stories we love echo this theme: a beautiful woman locked in a tower, held captive by an evil sorcerer and guarded by a ferocious dragon. She’s waiting—not for a savior, but for someone willing to fight.

I’m not saying that all women are prisoners of a brick-and-mortar tower, getting their beauty and vitality drained by an evil sorceress or sorcerer with a fat dragon at the base of the tower. I am saying that this story is real, in a spiritual sense. The tower is the mind, where the walls can be so high and formidable that you cannot see light anywhere. The sorcerer is the enemy, whispering lies at every chance and major milestone. The dragon is Satan himself, looming, accusing, and trying to block the way to freedom.

My wife has her own tower. Hers is made of fear, grief, and memories of losing her mom too young. For years, I believed that she just needed to move on. But I’ve realized those thoughts—the ones that tell her she isn’t enough, that she’s stuck, that she can’t be present—they are not just emotions. They are attacks.

They are the work of the sorcerer; casting lies into her mind. Lies that steal her beauty and vitality—the very things God placed in her to reflect His love.

A Call for Men to Rise

That’s where I come in. As her husband, I’ve trained for this fight. I pray, I’ve battle, and I am learning to recognize the enemy’s voice. When I find her tower and hear the lies being whispered, I don’t sit back.

I climb.

When I reach the top and the sorcerer turns to face me, I tell him:

“You’ve messed up buddy. You’re not that guy, pal. I am not alone—I wear the armor of God. And your lies don’t win here anymore.”

Then the dragon attacks. Doubt. Fear. Stress. Conflict. Temptation. Everything Satan can throw at us to stop us from reaching that “happily ever after.”

But this is what we have learned: when I fall, she lifts me up, using the beauty and nurturing that God designed her with. When her light dims, I remind her of who she is, the woman who was worth me traversing a bottomless cavern, climbing a tower filled with evil. We lean on each other. We don’t fight alone. Because together, we reflect God’s image more fully.

A Story for Everyone

This isn’t just a message for husbands and wives. It’s a reminder for all of us:

-              God created us for intimacy, not distance.

-              He desires closeness, not performance.

-              He walks with us. Talks with us. Fights for us. And he invites us to fight for each other.

So whether you feel like Adam, alone and unsure…

Or like Eve, under attack and misunderstood…

Or like a warrior climbing a tower for someone you love…

Know this: God is with you. And He misses that connection just as much as you do. He’s still offering it. Every day.

All he asks is that we believe. That we trust. That we walk with Him again.

Happily Ever After

It won’t always feel like a fairytale. But with God, it will be a victory story. And if we keep fighting—not in our own strength, but with His armor, His Word, and His Spirit—then yes…

We’ll make it to happily ever after.

So if you’re feeling far from God, under attack, or unsure of your place in the story—remember this:

God hasn’t changed. His heart hasn’t changed. He still walks with those who want to walk with Him. He still fights for beauty, still calls men to rise, and still breathes purpose into every woman.

We are part of the same story that started in Eden.

And the invitation is still open: Come walk with Me.
