Nevertheless, with the focus on the men, we must not forget the other side or think the problems in society today are solely because of the men.
They cannot fulfill their roles as they should without proper support from wives and children. Many men leave the home because of nagging or critical wives.
God has gifted women with the ability to influence for men--for better or for worse. Many women abuse those powers to manipulate men in order to get what they want.
It is no wonder men spend hours at work or lose themselves in video games and movies or escape to hobbies and friends.
Women have a vital role of encouraging men to stand up for what is right, to pursue God before us and to invest their time in what really matters.
That encouragement cannot come through constant nagging for a man to do something or through constant criticism when he does try to do something or through twisting his words to gain a particular result.
Encouragement from women (and men) must be founded in the source of truth, God's Holy Word, as well as the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit, and must be done solely for the glory of God, not out of selfish ambitions.
Where are you, women of truth?
