Steel and velvet – he’s firm and well-tempered he provides his family with security and raises the admiration of those around him. Andelin compares a man’s character to a building with a strong foundation and steel supports, but also with interior decorations, artwork, and landscaping. It was to help me learn to be a more balanced man as I prepared to be married. In the 1970’s, Aubrey Andelin wrote a book I read called Man of Steel and Velvet. We like his voluntary soft side, even though he’s the man of steel. We like that he can also be that dorky, vulnerable guy, don’t we? We like that he’s loyal and sensitive and compassionate. And we like that about Superman, but there’s something else about Superman we like – Clark Kent. What’s not to like about him? The man of Steel! No one can beat Superman – unless they have Kryptonite.
