Men were not made to please women. Both were meant to complement each other.
Men were made first and were given the task to manage and take rule over all the living things in the world.
“Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.”
Genesis 2:15 NKJV

As a matter of fact, personally, women should have not been made in the first place if it wasn’t for the Lord’s love for his creation.
“And the LORD God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Genesis 2:18 NKJV

But society constantly tells us that men should act like a Gennie to his woman, its not how the Lord decided for his creation to be.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
Ephesians 5:31 NKJV

Both, men and women were designed to be one in dominion over all living things in the world. They were not created to have dominion over each other.
Women should be the man’s helpmeet, they are to submit to their husbands and not the other way around.
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.”
Ephesians 5:22-23 NKJV

Understanding that culture is a difficult thing to beat may possibly be true but unless one keeps the truth in their hearts, following the Lord’s commands and decrees, and renewing one’s mind. Nothing can be impossible.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 NKJV

Men, hone your woman to be the Godly woman they ought to be. You were made to be leaders in your household, hence you ought to lead them closer to the Lord and pull them from the world.
Women, you are to be mentors to the younger generation: teaching them to be pure and self-controlled. You are to be witnesses: mirroring your man to be more like Christ. And, you are to be examples: worthy and honorable.
“to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.”
Titus 2:5 NKJV

“Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,”
I Peter 3:1 NKJV

“Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.”
I Timothy 3:11 NKJV

Take heed in the Lord’s word, lest one stumbles.
