Who’s the Boss In Your House?
We’ve all heard of the strong black woman or the single mum raising her children ‘right’ on her own, but what happens when you have this criteria mixed with the presence of a father figure?
Who’s the boss in your house? Is it you the strong black, white, asian, oriental woman or is it your husband?
I read a very short article today as I sat in the doctor’s waiting room about the woman who puts her husband down with snide, rude or condescending remarks, trying to be funny. One thing though, your husband isn’t laughing and if the tables were turned, nor would you be!
I’ve been guilty of it and you can be sure I have repented today.
It’s alright being the boss of the children or at work, if you’re in charge, but at home, hand it over to your husband.
I’m all for women’s lib, I demand women’s rights constantly and do not for one moment believe that men are superior to women, but at home I’m learning I’m not the boss, my husband is. That’s God’s divine order, don’t mess with it!
It’s important especially if you have a daughter(s) to let them see and know who’s the boss in your house, because it will help them build a healthy relationship with men in the future.
Do you have a close knit extended family?
Is your dad a strong authoritative type person or is it your mother?
Does the opinion of your dearest and oldest friend hold more sway over that of your husband, who you promised to ‘love and obey’? If you didn’t you should renew your vows and add them, you can’t mess with God’s system, the sooner you and I realise that God’s order of things is the best, the better for us.
So, answer truthfully now, ‘Who’s the boss in your house?’
