Do you rebuke them? Are you heavy handed about these issues? Do you try to handle abusive situations on your own, or do you involve the authorities?
Do you regularly teach/preach to men about how to provide and care for their wives and children?
Just curious...sometimes I wonder if the reason there seems to be a weaker presence of men in some churches because they aren't taught or prompted to be stronger men at home....?

I personally tell men who are abusive if I know about it and it happens I will take the responsibility of calling the Police on them myself and press charges.. there is NO reason for abuse in any situation!!!
concerning the man who won't support his family there could be a myraid of issues... depending on the situation... the full story would have to be known..
