Just Asking with Peter Banzon
I’m a mom to 2 kids, been married for 8 years now. I know that my husband should be the head of our family pero mali ang mga decisions niya at kami ang nagsa-suffer kaya ako na lang ang nagde-decide sa aming pamilya. What can I do to boost his self esteem?
When God created man, the Bible says “male and female He created them…” (Genesis 1:27)
You and your husband were created by God to complement each other. Married life is a continuous learning process. If your husband has difficulty making correct decisions then you must make an effort to help him make good ones. This means involving him by consulting him, asking suggestions or offering ones yourself. Even if you are better at decision making, you empower your husband by intentionally arriving at decisions together.
This may mean decision making will take longer but by working together you make him feel needed and important. Your husband’s being head of the home does not mean he must do everything by himself. It means blessing and benefitting the family by working together, by combining skills, talents, and abilities of each other. This will also model for the children how a family should do things together.
