Special episode for guys - equip your wife to equip successful kids - Season 2 Episode 2

In season 1 episode 4, Tammy and Josh talked about prioritizing your purpose and your marriage ahead of your kids so that you would be equipped to be an even better parent.

This time, for the first time, we’ll have an episode without Tammy and instead Josh is joined by his longtime mentor and friend Tim.

This topic is specifically for the guys, so ladies, you can tune out for this one and just recommend this episode to some of the men in your life.

This is a podcast about parenting, so why would we dedicate an episode to how to be a better husband? That’s certainly counterintuitive!
Kids need their mom to be at her best, and it’s a big part of our job as dads to make sure that she has what she needs and that we’re on the same page.

We talk through 5 ways that husbands can equip our wives and do our part to equip our kids to develop into successful adults:

1. She’s for you, not against you
2. Your wife is the most beautiful woman that has ever lived
3. If you work hard to meet her needs, then she will be freed up to meet your needs better than you can yourself (security, stability, provision)
4. Ask her once in a while if she would marry you (and treat her in a way that you’ll get a ‘yes’)
5. What kind of man do you look up to? A selfish cheater or a selfless supporter?

This is far from an exhaustive list, and even these 5 can seem overwhelming, but you can pick one and take one consistent step to enjoy your wife more and more every day.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that these concepts are correct or are right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
