If you've read much of my blog before, you might be are aware that I view the relationship men have with their wives above their relationship with their children. I thought I would dedicate a post to share my thoughts on this topic.
Obviously both being a good father and husband is important, or I would not have dedicated a blog to both relationships. However, your wife is more important than your children! I say this not to take away from the relationship between father and child, but only to stress the importance of the sacred relationship that is marriage. Your children will grow, move out, create family of their own within the marriage relationship. Marriage is the foundation of life. Children are great, but they too turn to marriage.
Often in pop culture or entertainment we see people neglecting their spouse to be with their children, because their children are the most important people in their lives. In reality your spouse is, or should be, the most important person in your life (on earth!). So husbands, treat your wives like it!. This is one reason I started this blog, to create dialogue and share ideas, because I want to nurture my wife and make her happier than she ever imagined she could be!
Ideas and Discussion on how to be a Better Husband and a Better Father!
So how do u deal with the situation when the wife has put the kids before you as a husband... and now you're drifting apart? Just sayin'....
ReplyDeleteIts a great Question. My first thought is to have a heart-to-heart with her about it, let her know that you put her above your children and ask her to do the same. I think if you feel that way and consistantly show her, it will rub off on her.
