Men are scum???

Dear Sis-in-Christ

Two months ago, I woke up with serious abdominal pains. I found out I had an ectopic pregnancy. 1st Gynae said, let's try to handle this medically. I was admitted and given medication. By Day 3, it was obvious it wasn't working.
Hubby says, it's time to move. So we go to a new Gynae. In 2 hours, I am being prepped for surgery.
Before we stepped out of our car, he and I held hands and declared I was going to walk out of the hospital healed. As I am wheeled into the theatre, I know he is out there
Not googling porn, not guzzling drinks to calm his nerves or pacing because he needs a "fix" but interceding.
The nurses asked him to go home, we have 4 kids after all. He insists on staying till I come out of anaesthesia.
This is despite the fact that it's an excellent facility
Nurses are fantastic and Gynae is a rockstar. I tell Gynae, since my contraception failed, can we make it permanent and he says đź‘Ť
So tubes are taken care of as well.
Two days later, I get home and Hubby had bought new furniture and wall hangings to give the place a new look.
He takes time off work to be there for me as much as he can.
But what I want to emphasize on is his spiritual strength.
A few nights I woke up in pain or something and he lays hands on me and just takes charge.
On occasion, I woke up to him agonizing in the spirit. Just the fact
That he doesn't panic even though he doesn't understand all the medical lingo is enough. He made it his job to ensure I took my meds cause I hate pills. He even examines my scars often to be sure they are healing.
Why am I sharing this?
Some of my Sisters in Christ have bought
Into the men are scum movement and sabotaged themselves.
It is not your duty to do all the spiritual heavy lifting while the man runs amok. If you set this standard you will find that there are men who pray, do the word and actually lead by godly example. He doesn't have to be a
Pastor or Deacon.
He simply needs to share your passion & devotion for God and be able to inspire same in any children you will eventually have.

I do not share this to denigrate the men are scum movement; they are fulfilling purpose.
I just wanted to give you a diff view.
