I passed 1-4 ok but I'm stuck on 5

Eric I agree totally. With single parenting taking over as the norm it's hard for kids to understand the roles. Single moms and dads work themselves to death both at work and at home. Each tries to fill a role they aren't equipped to do. It's tough work and it's confusing for everyone.

Con't...It takes time and work for a marriage to ebb and flow. Now days we work ourselves 12-18 hours a day (in and out of the home). Where do we allow the time to nurture ANY relationship? Does your husband have friends, mentors, someone to confide in when he feels spiritually wasted? Wives may be soulmates, lovers, BFF's but there are some things we can't do. Men do not want to be weak in front of us...not heart wrenching, crying out to God, what do I do weak. They need their outlet. Yes prayer is an outlet. But not tangible. Bottom line, men need accountability and validation as spiritual leaders as much as we need to know we are good wives. My spiritual platform is nurturing women because I see a need that overwhelms me. But I feel the urgency and the aura of discontent with families, specifically men and that they (as a whole) feel lost in a kind of what now frame of mind. But I am not equipped nor called to mentor men...somone else is. Listen to Him who speaks through men around you. My brothers, you will find strength in Jesus who is after all the first bridegroom.

First, as your sister in Christ: God is always stirring heart at just the right moment so I am encouraged by your obedience.

Now, as a wife of a pastor of all trades...tongue in cheek gets me in trouble w/Larry but he is always going to have that heart. Yes men need more help being spiritual leaders(S.L.). Your question to women said godly men but to say someone isn't godly enough is me talking to a mirror. I can say from my own experiences that it's easy for men to say they are the S.L. but they have a challenge incorporating it into the family relationships. We all know what the bible (Eph 5) says...women submit yourselves to your own husband as you would do to the Lord and husbands love your wives like Christ loves the church. But who has the harder job? Without a doubt men do. Cmon ladies, there isn't one thing I can do for anyone that would compare to Christ's love for me. Nothing. Now, my husband is commanded to love me THAT MUCH. And I am no walk in the park. Con't...
