This is what happens when a person does not recognize a force that is bigger and more important than themselves.

That force is God. When we put God first, everything else to include parenting, makes logical sense. Without God, there is nothing more important than self. This is why we have so many sociopathic personalities in America today. This is why we have a society focused on what government can do for them with no thought of future generations or the ethics/morals of taking from others to provide for them. This is why feminist achieved their goals. This is why we have so many dysfunctional families. This is why so many husbands and fathers fail.

My world makes sense when I follow God. When I fail to follow God (place myself above him) it does not work and it’s reflected in every aspect of my life.

I am certain that it is healthy for a human being to believe in something that is bigger than all of us. It provides the perspective that is necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Our Creator designed us that way.

Indeed, this is true.
It is to my shame that I am struggling, in fits and starts, and fairly discouraged in my walk with God... and in a macabre/catch-22 way it feeds on itself: wanting to do better, I try [and fail], I beat myself up for thinking I can do it (i.e. not relying on God), then I find myself wanting to do better...

I am certain that it is healthy for a human being to believe in something that is bigger than all of us. It provides the perspective that is necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Our Creator designed us that way.

And it is sad that there is so much noise* drowning out our Creator's call, but then simply because it is effective is why the Enemy would employ the tactic.

* Note: just see what happens when one tries to move something 'broken' back into its proper place; all sorts of "screaming" and crying, sometimes emotional/hysterical & sometimes logical/cold, but 'screaming' nonetheless. You can see this in society WRT firearms; the reason they are all barred in so many places is not because of safety but control, and this control stems from the underlying assumption that "rights" stem from government/society/anything-but-God. It repeats itself in abortion; the unborn cannot be a 'person' (because abortion would then neoclassical be murder) because: "it's a woman's right," "it's part of my body," "it's got abnormalities," "it's settled law," "it can't survive on its own"... again, anything but "a baby is human, made in God's image."

She DID recognize forces bigger and more important than herself.

Secular Humanism and materialism, fueled by selfishness.

What do you mean "fail" and why do you reference husbands and fathers without referencing wives and mothers?

Funny how that works, huh?
