Leaning Say These Three Words: “I Need Help”

q

There is a misconception that men are afraid to say those magical three words, “I love you!” Those three words roll off the tongues of men with ease. Nowadays, we say “I love something” all day long. Those are not the same three words. The three words I am referring to are “I need help!”

It does not matter how big or small a job or problem may be, some of us will not ask for help. Oftentimes, the issues in which we need the most help stem from our emotional instability. From biblical times until today, men have always been more fragile than women. Men cannot handle most of the truth in life, so they try to rewrite the truth to fit how they want the story to end. For example, Cain and Abel in Genesis chapter four, where Cain killed his brother Abel because his offering to God was accepted and Cain’s was not. It almost seems like every day we hear about one man has killed another man because they got into an argument. We hear about the father who has killed his family because he and his wife are getting a divorce. Men are increasingly shooting up schools, churches, businesses, concerts or anyplace where they can harm many people.

Why? Because a lot of men are emotionally unstable. It is imperative that men understand the root cause of their emotional instability. It is important for men to recognize their need for help. There is a sense of pride that will not allow a man to seek out the help he needs but instead will sit on the couch and pretend that nothing is wrong. Men will not admit they need help but instead will walk out of a marriage and in some cases leave children without a father. This must be the single most destructive issue of today: the absentee father. Men leave relationships for several reasons, but to leave and not be involved constructively in the lives of their children is doing serious, if not irreparable, harm to our society.

Father absenteeism is a crisis in this country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, almost 20 million children, more than 1 in 4, do not have a father in the home. Many of the ills facing society today stem from young children not having a father in their lives. Research shows children whose fathers do not live with them are four times more likely to grow up in poverty. They are more likely to face abuse and neglect and have behavioral problems. Children who do not have their dads in their lives are twice as likely to drop out of high school, and they are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, commit a crime, and end up in prison. Statistics also show teenage girls who do not live with their father are seven times more likely to become pregnant than those who do.

I understand a man and woman not getting along; my first wife and I did not make it past seven years.
