When I married my husband 30 years ago, I had recently rededicated my life to the Lord at a Harvest Crusade. I committed to God to live the rest of my life as a biblical Christian, wife, and mother. My daughter was not a Christian at the time and was appalled that her once independent successful businesswoman mom was now in her words, “Going to be a doormat.” She was skeptical of Dave, who actually is a gentle, kind, godly man, but she feared he was going to dominate me.It wasn’t until she became a Christian several years later when she and her fiancé accepted Christ in a biblical marriage class that she had an awakening regarding the truth behind biblical gender roles.Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/champja

Jesus is at the very top of that list.Despite all the available examples in scripture, men still find themselves struggling in ways specific to them. Their sin occurs because men (like all) are not free from sin, and because men are made differently from women.Here are five habitual sins men especially struggle with:Photo Credit: ©GettyImagesRawpixel

Are American churches really drawing more women than men? Do a significant number of committed Christian men hate – or, at least, strongly dislike – going to church? If so, why?
