THE ROLE OF THE FATHER (IT IS SELFLESS & GIVING)

You can say that God has given us each a role or roles, as well as special gifts, to use for the benefit of others.

Now you mentioned the Greek myths. They teach us the importance of bravery, intelligence, and tell us about right and wrong. They show that we can be rewarded or punished for our good actions or our missteps.

You also mentioned "love". The father loves his wife and his children. But love is not so much a condition (I am loved by my father, I love you), it is an action. I lavish you with love. I do things for you. Not for me, but for you and for us.

And if the father loves, he can expect to receive respect and admiration, for his actions.

That is how it works. The wheel of love goes one way from father to wife and children; and back comes respect, admiration, awe, maybe a little fear.

And remember that this is all happening now, in the real world, in real time. It is not so much a promise about à theoretical future - that a man who lavishes love on his family will be praised and respected - it is something the father must catch up with, and do right away, starting from now.

For me, things get a bit dangerous because as part of this paradigm, when the father loves his wife, she, in return, must obey him. Love demands obedience. No! It is not a hierarchy or pyramid like that!!! It is a circle. Love and respect flow both ways, these days.
