It is easy to forget the importance of the family when a man is trying to reach certain goals and accomplish certain things. But what must not be forgotten is that one of those accomplishments should include training his children in righteousness and loving his wife like Christ loved the church. I think we as men try to push aside this responsibility and ignore it because we have bought the world’s idea and belief that no reward comes from spending time at home with your family, but rather it is outside the home that all the rewards and accolades of life come. Therefore, the less time spent at home allows one to reach his goals sooner and have even grander goals.
This is a sad statement on Christian men. We have bought the world’s bag of goods and don’t even have the discernment to see that the goods aren’t very good.
