Take a look at what can happen in a marriage relationship when a man chooses love as a lifestyle.
While the wife is to respect her husband; God intended for the husband to love his wife as he loves himself; because he loves God. Knowing that God is able to help him live freely from any bondage from the past; childhood horrors; insecurities; hang ups; inner conflicts; fear of not measuring up; ignorance; incorrect teachings, and just being scared...not knowing what to do in the marriage or how to treat the woman; his wife.
The Challenge: However, if a man is still living as a mere boy [child-like in his thinking and care-free in his actions] or think himself to be a single male [ having no responsibility ], or just a mere man [responsible, but, only for himself]; he does not ,yet, like or better still, love himself. Nor is he, ready or willing to love his wife. And it becomes more difficult to love or show true love for his wife in the relationship.
Most marriages are facing extinction today because of lack of knowledge.
The Solution: Love one another....Pray for your man and allow God to reach his heart. (smile)

I think you were absolutely correct in identifying fear, insecurity, and a lack of self-love as reasons for a man's inability to display love. Honest communication can banish the fear and insecurities, and provide the knowledge necessary for a long and loving relationship.
