In today’s society, many men are consumed with the need to provide financially for their families, often at the expense of their relationships and personal well-being. This societal pressure to be the breadwinner can lead to men being absent from their families for long periods of time, resulting in strained relationships and a lack of connection within the household. This distance and absenteeism can also have negative effects on men’s mental and physical health, leading to increased rates of stress, depression, and diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular issues.

Furthermore, this focus on work and material needs has led to a lack of male involvement in family affairs and spiritual guidance. Many men are no longer present for important events and decisions within the family, and their absence has contributed to a decline in religious beliefs and practices. It is essential for men to reclaim their role as leaders and providers for their families in a holistic sense, including emotional, moral, and spiritual support. Without this balance, society as a whole suffers and sees an increase in negative behaviors and problems.

It is time for men to prioritize their relationships and overall well-being, and for society to recognize the importance of men’s roles within the family unit. By addressing and addressing these issues, we can create a more harmonious and fulfilled society.
