Do we Have a Man-crisis?

I have four amazing boys - Parker (8), Cohen (6), Brooks (4) and Smith (1) - and I take the job of training them to be men very seriously.  I am grieved at the trend I see in our society of boys not becoming men.  This has major implications on marriage, children and the Church.  I believe our culture has helped 20-somethings extend adolescence rather than transition to adulthood and the Church needs not follow suit.  We must reverse the trend!
