The disturbing new trend of disposable first marriages

All I mean by this, Cletus and John , is that I don’t want a lack of men’s teaching, so it looks like we think men are off the hook. I meant women being beaten up here as in beating the sheep — harping on their failures all the time. I appreciate John offering insight on male causes of divorce.

What you all said is true, but our true adversary is the devil. He is the cause of all this strife in the marriages. He is our real enemy. He is the one that kills, steals, and destroys. He has been after the marriage and family since the beginning of time. He did that with Adam and Eve. We must take all these things to prayer. We must pray for our own marriages, the marriages of our friends, our pastors, our neighbors and pleading the blood of Jesus over all of it. We can fight with Prayer.

And sadly, men become irrelevant due to not being in the social and schooling loop, especially if they travel extensively.
It is very easy to loose track and become a little distant from the issues. Often men will just 'relax' and take very good heed to quiet in their down-times. This is not an excuse but rather just one of the reasons that men are often seen as distant from the nuts and bolt of society and their families.

The men can seem to be harsh at times when they are ill-equipped to handle family pressure. Although the buck stops with them, they really do not know what to do when faced with many social complications. If they are involved in a work situation that is well organized and requires them to be on the ball so things get done quickly and with a minimum of fuss, going home to a crazy mixed up noisy family can be alarming at times.

Generally men want things in order where you can see the end from the beginning. The women might be able to have a deep phone conversation while the kids are screaming, but not so for most men. They work differently and also think differently.
If it is broke - fix it. If it is not broke, leave it alone.
Unimaginative is a judgement I hear about family men from women.
That may be so. If your tablet or phone is never far from your grasp, perhaps that also contributes to the divide.

Yeshua died for us while we were lost, sinners and broken. It is a harsh world full of ambiguities and pitfalls especially if the man does not or can not communicate readily - especially in a situation of turmoil and strife.

Often the father is considered a sociopath for his treatment of his children. Abuse is a primer when it comes to the social services. If they ever get to question your children, for whatever reason, the abuse card is used and you can kiss your family goodbye. The social services are really an oxymoron. Very sad is the dad that gets on the wrong side of any of them - mostly women, who seem to have an invisible ax to grind. There IS NO redress against them... They seem to be a godless entity and are untouchable. Most men I know are angered by this. That make things even worse when outsiders come in uninvited. (keep up your ACLJ subscriptions)

I do not want that either... and to be clear men are more on the hook than women because they are to be the head of household and even in church. When God came walking in the cool of the evening in the garden and called out to Adam... He spoke to Adam first.  Adam blamed his wife and then God spoke to Eve.  so lets just acknowledge this... men are uhm... i dont know the word but i know the scripture... to whom much is given much is expected.  men have more of a responsibility on certain things than a woman does and this accountability is to God.  God has a lot of names, but none of them is Milton Bradley.... He aint playing games. 

We need to exhort young people of both genders to fulfill their God-given roles. I know I sound like I’m hard on women, but it’s only because I’m preaching to my own kind. Men have their own issues.
