"When you get married, who will be in charge?"

My oldest girl asked me this question the other day. I responded with:"when I'm married, my husband (your Daddy) will be in charge." The girls were perplexed since they knew that this is my house. I continued to explain to them that the Bible says that the husband is head of the house which means that he is in charge of the family. Then I gave an example that if I said yes and my husband said no, then we would talk about it. If we still disagree then he will have the final say. We would respect each other and his answer would be the final one. That is the house that God blesses all the more.

This concept is so foreign to my girls, but something that I want to teach them and show them in the coming days, weeks, years.

Catch those teachable moments with your kids or the kids God has put you in charge of for a time.
