I grew up in a biblical home where my dad was the head, I married a man who’s mother thought of herself as the matriarch. They called me lazy for staying home with my children, thought my breastfeeding was gross and she tried ruling our house. I had to take a stand and refuse to let her rule while teaching my husband his roll. Me being the one to address it only created a wedge … Once he (my husband) understood his role and asked his mother to step back our marriage became blessed. He still loves his mother very much but I am now priority under God and now I love her more also because she knows to respect my place. It’s biblical for a REASON it works!!

1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Thank you for pointing out that double standard, brother Spencer!

My mother is dead, the only woman in my life my sister, she'll know when to take the back seat, I'm 40 and single I'm sure she'll be a Karen or have friends and family who is a Karen or Kevin.
She is an ABLEIST prove me WRONG, she needs to be deplatformed as do ALL ABLEIST.
I know you won't reply.

I can't find the YouTube channel for The Feminist Turned HouseWife. Can you please add the link?

You think its "good" to deliberately cause outrage, when the Bible says it is NOT good?

Tanya is right, this is very prevalent in Latin American countries. A lot of families have their mothers living in the same house with them. It's normal.

When a man has an overbearing mother, they aren’t taught to lead. They tend to not even know how to make a decision for themselves. It seems to be this vicious cycle that gets passed down, but God can overcome it all.

What if the wife is wrong and the mother is right ?

My mom use to say ‘watch how he treats his mother and that’s how he’ll treat you’

1611 KJV may I suggest you all check out the Third Adam Series
Thank you brother appreciate all you do .

Does this also apply to boyfriends who put their mother first before the girlfriend ?

I wasn't even aware this was a controversial idea. News to me! But I'm single and never been married. Fascinating

This momma’s boy mentality is definitely a culture thing. I was not raised catholic, but I am Mexican & Mexico is culturally catholic. Mexican mothers expect their sons to put their moms first. Like overwhelmingly so.

Are you kidding. No feminists making every demand they can think of, wouldn’t make this demand?

Solid gold here! If only I did Twitter.

16:08 women withhold intimacy for months and it’s a flat out rejection of a man and a dereliction of duty. It’s abuse. So men just shut down because now you have a roommate instead of a wife and helpmeet who cares more for the needs of her kids than her husband. Facts.

What a civilian mess!

Leave and cleave. Too many marriages are ruined because mom gets involved. If you can't put your mom in check with love, then you're not emotionally ready for marriage.

People don't seem to understand that many of the women in my generation specifically (gen z) are trying to manipulate their husbands into abandoning their parents and his side of the family completely. There should be a place in a marriage for both sides of the family, not just the wife's. I'm not disagreeing with putting your wife first, but to completely abandon your parents is also not something that allows for a healthy relationship. You don't understand until you've had a potential marriage partner try to separate you from everyone else you've ever cared for. Js.

So many people either have TERRIBLE reading comprehension, or they understand perfectly but twist the writer's intent, or they DO NOT KNOW HOW to think. So, they leave ridiculous, nonsensical replies to what the writer HAS NOT said.

I think it’s a love and respect thing. The mother will receive all the love from her son over her husband. She will look to the unconditional love of a child over being respectful to her husband. He wants respect and she wants love.
The book that helped us the most was Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend. Helped keep us in our lane as a couple and perspective on family.

I just added her

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:7; Ephesians 5:31.

I like her, we need more Godly women like her. God bless 🙏🏻

Husbands abdicate their role. Wives will follow when Husbands lovingly lead.

Narcissistic moms are very controlling over their kids. This is one other reason. Needy moms too. As a man we are to cleave to our wife. Not mama, mama needs to chill. We can still love mom but don’t be a baby about it 😂

I’m not a feminist whatsoever! But I will NEVER put my husband/wife before my mom 😂🤣✌🏻♥️

I understand you shouldn’t choose your parents over your spouse. When you get married you become one. However, the Church and Christian parents in general have really dropped the ball on making sure their children marry someone of equal yoke and from everything I’ve seen lately maybe parents should step up when they see their kids being mistreated by their spouses. A lot of men make bad decisions when it comes to picking women and a lot of moms aren’t going to stand for their sons being mistreated and they shouldn’t stand for it either. A lot of evil women out there only want their in laws out of the way to continue their manipulation. Maybe there is more to it for someone choosing their parent over their spouse. It’s not always that black and white.
