Suggestions for Healing the Wound Need a new design – a form of manly leadership that is neither dominant nor abusive, but noble to men and endearing to women • Begin with a clear understanding of who you are accountable to • Begin to use the sword of the Spirit • Get encouragement and support from other men

  7. If married and you’ve decided this is an issue, tell your wife YOU will take responsibility for addressing it • Ask for your wife’s support in prayer – not her involvement • Ask, “What is God calling me to be at home?”
