Summary
I’m discussing the importance of prioritizing your spouse over your children within a marriage. I observe that many husbands often value their children’s words or desires over those of their wife, unintentionally placing their wife in a competitive position with their children. This, I argue, undermines the wife’s priority in the marriage, shifting her from being the foremost concern to a secondary one. Prioritizing your spouse isn’t about neglecting the physical needs of your children, such as a young child needing to be fed. Instead, it’s about the valuation of your spouse’s opinions and preferences. If a husband consistently sides with the children over his wife, it can create significant marital discord. Hence, I emphasize the necessity of making your spouse the top priority in terms of whose opinions and desires you value and act upon in your daily life.
