Why is the onus always on the woman to create a healthy relationship? If man is the head of woman, and Christ is the head of man, where are the books showing men how to put away their idols – I don’t mean giving up beer, tv, money, sports, cars, whatever – I mean turning from idolatry of these things – and instilling a proper respect and desire for God. Most women (although they may not realize it) would do anything for a man whose heart was truly focused on God. What woman would not want to be loved as “Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her?”

rEASONABLE COMMENT!

Promise Keepers has done a LOT toward that end.

FGBMI also has done some but not as much as they could have.

Some astute pastors do a lot. Others seem to worsen the situation by demanding everyone become churchaholics to the sacrifice of the family.

Where did you get that idea?!? Please give me some references (with URLs) that state that it is "always on the woman to create a healthy relationship." I'd really like to see what people believe and are publishing this.

As for Proverbs 25:24, it simply states, more or less, that a man will be in a living hell if his wife enjoys arguing with him rather than getting along. A very true Proverb...
