Why men hate church

I have no idea! I don't know as it would, but if the men that did come, were taught that they were to be godly men. And women taught how to be a godly woman, to love their husbands, to TRAIN their children. Not let the TV do it, or the schools do it.

Any man that loved his wife as he did his own self, would have to have an awfully hardhearted wife, for her not to love him back.

A man nor a wife is not to manipulate each other or the children. Children have to be trained, and yes, I believe in spanking the children.

If you notice, in God's Word, He has told us many things to do, or not do. But He does not make anyone do anything. I thank God, that He sometimes disciplines us, if we are disobedient, and again, that is for out training. You can still go against the discipline and end up hardhearted, with your conscience seared as with a hot iron.

1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

(That throws withholding sex, out the window)

6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

These are the things that they should be taught before they are married and if they do not agree, they shouldn't marry. They should agree on how they will raise their children. How they will handle money. That the husband is the Head, that means that he is responsible for the family. That doesn't mean that he is the big boss, and everyone should shake in their boots if they disagree. If they disagree, they should be allowed to say so. And have a good reason. And a kind and gentle husband will listen and not be too arrogant to change his mind. A wife should not deliberately go against her husbands wishes.

And a husband has no right to demand that the family do things----just because he said so. He should always consider that the Word says, “that a man is to love his wife as he does his own body.”

These are some of the things that I would teach, along with 1 Cor 13. And possibly when the Husband saw that his wife really does love him, he might just come to a home meeting to see what was going on.
