🗣️📣Men: Stop equivocating and start leading

�️📣Men: Stop equivocating and start leading.

Men who ask their wives’ permission before making decisions are looking for excuses to escape their responsibility.

“I better get her permission so we can share the blame if this fails.”

It’s cowardly. That burden is not hers to bear.

Asking her permission is an admission that he is not leading her correctly. He knows it, she knows it, and the children who are watching know it.

It undermines his authority and the trust they place in him as a man and leader of the family.

How can they follow a man who needs to ask permission to lead? A father’s equivocating creates great anxiety in the family.

Men, you need to make it clear to your wife and children who is responsible for what in the home.

Your area of authority. Her area of authority (delegated to her by you). Your children’s area of authority. All separate.

Make the decisions in your area without asking anyone’s permission. You are the CEO of your family; act like it.

Asking for her input is very different from asking for permission. Most of the time, you SHOULD know her and her needs well enough that you don’t even need to consult her; she has enough on her plate.

Yes, women have an area of authority in the family. Unless you want her to be a perpetual child, she will need to carry her wifely and motherly load herself.

The wife should have full authority to make decisions in her area of authority and to deal with the consequences herself.

“But I WANT my husband to ask permission before making decisions.”

That’s because you don’t trust him or his judgment. Either you picked a weak man or you undermined him until he became a weak man.

The solution is to let him carry his load as leader until he becomes strong again. Men thrive under worthy loads, and few loads a man will ever carry are as important as being a husband and father.

Leave him to make the hard decisions for the family and deal with the consequences. He will grow strong under the load.

Or keep emasculating him and see how that works out.
