As issues arise in our families, whether it be our wives that are struggling or our kids misbehaving, it is very natural and easy to blame them.
However, in my own experience i have found that one way or another it always comes back to me and my role as a man. As men, we are initators. Our actions and words (or the lack of them) become like seeds, from which either life and peace or death and destruction grows.
Rather than blaming our wives and kids, I am convinced that we men always must start with ourselves, asking God to search our hearts and show us where we may have failed. And as we address our own actions and attitudes, it becomes a seed of change that soon impacts the entire family.
While the buck stops with us, change also begins with us
