Fascinated by Femininity: What Finally Opened My Eyes
Why is being made in the image of God the best starting point for dating?
For a long time, being fascinated by femininity wasn’t even on my radar. My view of women was shaped more by personal brokenness than by God’s design.
In this video, I share how that perspective was challenged and changed — and what finally opened my eyes to the beauty, depth, and purpose of femininity through a biblical lens.
Whether you’re a man trying to better understand women, someone navigating same-sex attraction, or just wrestling with identity and relationships, I hope this encourages you to think deeper — and pursue wholeness in Christ first.

In this video, Marco responds to that perspective, offering a thoughtful critique of this kind of grief and sharing practical, hope-filled ways to break free from it.
