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 am not a pastor. But I have been around ministers etc my entire life.
I think without being over intrusive or name calling.
It is every brother or sisters right in the body of Christ to talk to folks about serious situations.
I always run my idea or thougts by someone I respect.
I will approach someone if they have a noticable problem.
When I was around 20 years old.
this man in our church was just beating his young son in a stall in the Men's bathroom.
When he came out after hitting his son.
I looked him right in the eye's and said, what are you doing to him at home?
