He understands that genuine men are determined, thus he makes decisions in the relationship. He does not delegate all of his decisions to his spouse. When making judgments, he attempts to learn her perspectives (as well as those of other interested parties) and is adaptable enough to include their perspectives into his decisions. In general, he tries to understand her needs and desires while also considering what will make her feel loved and cared for. His main responsibility is to be the leader of the relationship. This doesn't mean that she has no voice in the marriage, but it does mean that he should make most decisions by himself. She should feel comfortable sharing her opinions with him, but not so comfortable that she feels forced to do so. He should also be aware of how his actions affect her emotionally and physically, because this is how a real man shows his love. In addition to leading the relationship, a man's role includes providing for his family financially. Although women can work, they usually prefer to have an income of their own. If a woman lacks employment opportunities or wants to change careers, then this is her choice too. A husband shouldn't stop her from finding a job if it's something that she enjoys and is able to support herself with. Last, but not least, a man protects his wife from danger. This may not always be seen in the physical sense, but it exists nonetheless.
