My ultimate goal when creating 'Intricacies of Manhood', was to try and help preserve the family structure, by offering some insight on some of the most important variables necessary to maintain relationships. There are so many single parent families now a days that it is almost frightening. The family structure has diminished to a dream, in comparison to what was once an entity. Many single mothers, are doing a good job raising children, but they can only offer certain elements of the family structure. It is priceless for a child to be able witness the interaction between his mother and father daily around the house. The way a man respects his woman and vise versa. Or, even when respect isn’t present in the household, it can be as a guide to what is necessary to show respect. There are many single mothers today that are raising there young boys graciously and stern. Showing all that is needed to make it in society, but they have to learn about being a man using bits and pieces of the men that come in and out of their lives, from experiences in their lives, or mentors whom they see on a regular basis. The trouble with that is, they spend most of their time at home with their mom. Now its great to want to be like your mom, because she is hard working, respectable and strong, but its a whole other thing to want to be your mom!Society, as a whole, here in America, is a beautiful place. Full of all of our hopes and dreams, full of are wants and desires and they are all but just a finger tip away from us. We can obtain all of the financial gain we desire if we just work hard. We are taught from an early age to achieve, achieve, achieve and obtain the things that we desire, so that we can become independent. All of this sounds wonderful! Its like a dream or something from a fairytale. I sometimes wonder, is our dream constructive to our inner being, or is it a curse to our morality as people.Some of us have become so independent, that we are consumed by greed and selfishness. We tend to loose respect for what is clean and wholesome. It’s all about ourselves and financial gain and we loose sight of what love, kindness and real caring is all about. Think about it. How can you maintain a loving relationship, when your true passion lies with your career or making the big bucks. We have become so independent here in America, that we don’t even look at marriage as a life long endeavor anymore. It’s merely something that most people just want to give a try and see if it works.Our ambitions have become our down fall, or a cancer to the institution of marriage.It is so easy for us to do whatever we want, the choices that we make have no concrete meaning. If you marry someone today you can divorce them as easily as you can purchase a piece of chocolate cake. Should it be so easy to break a life long vow. Or, should it be more difficult to be permitted to make a life long commitment?I wanted to ponder with the idea that these elements could be the cause of our huge percentages of divorce in our society today so, I wanted to point out some of these variables so that my readers can grasp a better understanding of some of the points made in 'Intricacies of Manhood'.
