The man is to be the head of the home!! • With both physical & spiritual responsibilities! • When a father neglects his responsibilities in the home he neglects his sacred duty which could have eternal consequences for MANY besides himself!! • It takes courage to be a REAL MAN!! • There will be many trials, challenges and disappointments - but only a REAL GOD FEARING MAN will experience the joys in this life that will translate into joys for all eternity!!!!!
