Social scientists have found that evangelical family men who attend church regularly are the most loving husbands and the most engaged fathers.
Compared to the average American family man, evangelical men are
• More loving to their wives
• More engaged with their children--3.5 more hours/wk than secular men
• Lowest rate of divorce--35 % lower than secular men
• Have the lowest rates of domestic violence of any group in the US.
One of the nation’s top marriage researchers is a sociologist named Brad Wilcox of the University of Virginia, and he wrote an article in the New York Times saying
“It turns out that the happiest of all wives in America are religious conservatives. Fully 73 percent of wives who hold conservative gender values and attend religious services regularly with their husbands have high-quality marriages.”
Wilcox then turns to his secular colleagues and says: “Academics need to cast aside their prejudices about religious conservatives and evangelicals in particular.
Conservative Protestant married men with children are consistently the most active and expressive fathers and the most emotionally engaged husbands.”
This is not a pep talk from a religious leader. These are the results of rigorous empirical testing. They are evidence based findings showing that Christianity does have the power to reconcile the sexes, as I put it in the subtitle to my book.
We should be confident about bringing into the secular arena to debunk secular narrative--and also into the church to help men to see that if they follow God's word, they will have happier marriages and families.

Your 200k can be helpful in digging the foundation.
@Xchange1 delete what again? 😂 You deserve all joys coming your way this season 'cept of @Arsenal winning d league, 'cos I will not hear the end, and i'ant ready for that endless barrage!! Congrats bro for yesterday, and today
Such innocence and depth, his consciousness at such a young age, no wonder @2PAC is the most political conscious lyricist of his generation, even until now. Such marvelous of evolution to influence an entire culture
The US is like a continent. Driving from East to West Texas is about 11 hours by road. Just Texas!
Texas is bigger than France.
Driving from Detroit, Michigan to Escanaba Michigan will take you the whole day!
I’ve been on a flight for 3 hours WITHIN the US! From one state to another. 😭
Every state has its own laws, different time zones and weather.
You really don’t need to leave the US for another country unless you just want to travel.
As a @ManUtd fan, I detest @ManCity, our performance this season has been terrible, pls let's continue that charade tomorrow against @LFC, at least reduce the a few notes of decibels from the noisy, result-getting next door guys. Thank you.
The @Arsenal implosion begins shortly, considering their next 5 games and UCL, 4 pts dropping is assured. Last 5 games with @OfficialBHAFC, @OfficialBHAFC has won 3, today may not be different #BHAFC
@osasuo@BOGbadams Truth is BAT consider himself a student from the Awo school of thought, he has an opportunity now to prove it, but we must realize that the social-political expectations are different, hopeful BAT may filled the shoe, I pray he does
@osasuo@BOGbadams 3. Both try to practice socialism to the extent that the macro economies of their times will permit them. Both attempted federal kingship only BAT so far has been successful maybe an edge for BAT, pls note: these are mundane considerations btw Awo and BAT
@osasuo@BOGbadams Let's try and compare
1. Both believe in strong regional autonomy, which means strong regional economy b4 you can replicate it at the federal level
2. Both men enjoy crazy, fanatical followership just by the strength of their character and patience
@osasuo@BOGbadams I think their is a base to compare both leaders, though Awo is a towering political figure that re-invent political relevance in his time(but I am sure @BAT will be extremely humbled that his name is mentioned with Awo) he(BAT) as always considered himself a sort of awoist
