TMV Episode 56 - Marriage Conversations - Raising Boys - Part 1In this fun and illuminating edition of Marriage Conversations, we welcome back our wonderful husbands to the show to answer some questions that have been sent in! The meat of this episode is spent considering the important task of raising boys into upstanding and strong men, and we all chime in with some ideas for how this can best be achieved in today's world. In particular, we also look at what moms can do if they are raising a boy without a father. We also go through a few suggestions from the husbands for the types of questions men should be asking their wives more often, the importance of spending quality time together, physical touch, and date nights! To complement that, we cover some behaviors and patterns to avoid; these include being too self-involved, and combatively bringing up flaws in each other. Important lessons that emerged today include the need for an available community of good men around growing boys, and always keeping God's design in mind.
