I get the feeling this guy does a lot of dishes, and cooking, and floor mopping, and baby holding.
Women are complicated, yeah they like it when Grizzly Adams holds a baby or helps with the dishes, it shows a tender side of a strong man. Both sides are necessary, and in it's proper context. While this won't hurt they are way past it, and need professional help, preferably someone who has never heard of "promise keepers".
