       Nevertheless, sometimes the woman leads because the man is unconfident and won’t lead her. Whatever the reason for the woman trying to lead her husband, this is not the way God has designed the marriage relationship to be. Now, a man might be like this because he grew up with an overbearing father, who caused him to be discouraged, or without a father at all. A man who is unconfident or unmotivated in life can learn to become more confident and further motivated. Again, it is important for the man to learn what is at the root of his problems, and there are many Christian self-help books that will help a person to do this. Sometimes, in more severe cases, the man may need counseling to try to discover the underlying issues behind his unconfident attitude so that he can then learn to better himself by becoming more confident. I should also state that not every man has the same type of drive in life, obviously, as some are more driven than others. There are both introverts and extroverts as well. I’m not saying a man has to become an extrovert to be confident. There are many introverts, myself included, who can display confidence.
