The man who omits himself surrenders ground

Male omission must be treated with seriousness. The Christian man must not confuse leadership with authoritarianism, nor courage with aggressiveness. Biblical masculinity is not a license to dominate, intimidate or violate. It expresses itself in responsibility, service, sacrifice, self-control and a willingness to protect what has been entrusted to him.

The problem appears when the man notices the deterioration of reference points within his own home, follows the relativization of values he considers fundamental and, even so, prefers to believe that everything is part of an inevitable transformation. The justification is usually familiar: "It's not worth picking that fight"; "It's better to avoid friction"; "There's no point in arguing"; "I don't want problems."
