>>Seeing weak men all over the place is so disturbing to me.<<

For me, the biggest problem is “weak men” regarding who they are, rather than their physical strength. I saw a LOT of it in an Assembly of God church I used to attend. The men were so “whipped” that it was hard to take. I honestly believe that the average married man in this country hopes that if he is “good” he might “get some this week”. That is beyond sad.

I remember being in a “family builders” class at the above church. There were about 30 couples in the class. One of the guys stood up and apologized to his wife in front of the class for being “too overbearing” to her and his family. It was very moving and he may have been that way. I don’t know.

After he spoke, I spoke to the class. I told them more of us husbands/fathers needed to take the example from the bible as head of the household and actually err in the opposite direction from the guy who had just spoken. I said that the man is responsible for the family, that God has put him in that position, and it means he makes the important decisions and is responsible for the outcome of those decisions. And it frees the wife to do the things within the family unit for which God uniquely made her.

If looks could kill, I would have died of a thousand stab wounds from the women in that room. Interestingly, I said what I said because I knew the families in that room. Most of the men were their wives lap dogs. One actually told me that “if you just do what she says, everything would be fine.”

And that is another problem our current culture is having to deal with...
