From the bottom of my heart, I believe it is because by-and-large, with the possible exception of the South, women, whether Christian or non-Christian, are not raised to honor and subject themselves to their husbands as unto the Lord, obeying them as their head.

“Feminism” (applied opposite of its actual meaning in an Orwellian way like “liberal”) and the Women’s movement have not only created a bloody infanticide of 70+ million unborn but is the main cause of family, and, therefore, societal, breakdown.

Women have quite a price to pay to be married. If they are brought up to compete with men (almost all are), or not to cherish and embrace their true feminine nature, or not trained for such, or not a believer who is teachable to change in God’s hands, they are likely to fail. The beautiful, honorable, admirable, and desirable apparel of a married woman is thus: “a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands; even as Sara obeyed Abraham calling him lord...” (1 Pet 3:4-6).

What is your opinion of Men being raised to Love their wives as Christ loved the Church, to give up their lives for her and Love them as their own bodies?

I always figured I would complain about my wife not fully obeying me right after I got my part perfect. I find the closer my actions and decisions are to being "Christ-like", the easier it is for my wife to follow my lead.

Likewise, men, by and large, have abdicated their role as the protector and provider for their families.

Try to find a man who acts like a man as opposed to an overgrown boy.

Lay down his life for his wife?

Maybe if he can fit it in his work schedule.
