Enjoying Your Man



Men are brought up to be the head of their home. It is drummed into them from childhood that they are to lead their wife and children. They are to be in charge and in control of the wife and children. They have the final say over the home. They have been elected by God for this post and all human that fights this election fights a lost battle.
 Personally I celebrate this truth. I respect and honour the post of headship given to a man over his family. It is the way it is, it is the way it should be. Call me old fashion, it is what it is. Any woman that wants to have a true man in her life will have to accept and celebrate this truth. When I say a true man, I mean a man in every sense of the word. A responsible male who knows and understand his role, purpose and placement with regards to his home.
 However, I cannot but be disgusted when I see irresponsible men who have no understanding or respect for their position as the head of the home. Men who abuse, use, feed off, maltreat, violate, manipulate, embarrass, denies, incapacitate, dehumanize, desert and damage their wives with the power they have as the head of the home.
 On the other hand, no woman will enjoy her life if she takes over the man's place as the head of the home by default. For whatever reason, a woman that takes over the role of the head of her home when her husband is alive and well is undertaking a thankless job. Everyone and everything will be against her. The husband, the children, the in-laws, her family, the society, etc. Even if she did so because the man fails to step up to his responsibilities,  she will still be blamed. So a woman must allow her husband to be the head of the home. Don't even try to unsurp his position.
 The only legitimate thing a woman have a right to do if her husband is not responsible or good to her and the children (as the head of the home) is to leave him, and not dethrone him as the head of the home while there is a home.
 Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured!
