Key Questions Discussed:

1. What does it mean to be a 'good man' in today’s society, and how does that differ from past generations?
2. How do good men navigate a society where traditional male roles are less relevant, and how do they still bring value?
3. How do fathers play a role in raising sons to understand gender dynamics?
4. What does leadership look like for a man in marriage today?
5. Practical ways for women to show their husbands they are valued.
6. How can parents raise sons to navigate modern dating and relationships?
7. Why do some men feel disengaged or devalued?
