Our modern-day society has put too much pressure on women to take up the mantle of fighting for love and breaking (and sometimes broken) marriages. What ye men forget is that you have an equally significant responsibility on her. Maybe some men understand this, but they have no idea where to start. How about referencing the bible? Let’s get started.
