In today's video, we delve deep into the dynamics of marital happiness and the pivotal role a man plays in setting the tone for the family. It's often said that an unhappy wife is a reflection of her husband's leadership. As the protector and provider, a man's duty is to set a clear vision for his family, ensuring that both partners complement each other in their journey towards collective success. If your wife is discontented, it's time to introspect and ask yourself: Are you truly leading your family in the right direction? Join us as we discuss the importance of stepping up, setting the right expectations, and guiding your family towards a prosperous future. Remember, it's not about pointing fingers but about taking responsibility and leading with purpose.

Note: While this video emphasizes the man's role in the family, it's essential to remember that every relationship is unique, and both partners have a shared responsibility for the happiness and success of their relationship.

How to insult your kids

Tweet: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1685618748495974400

Hey everyone! Today's topic might have caught your eye, but rest assured, we're NOT here to promote negativity. Inspired by a recent incident with Cardi B, we're diving deep into how we should react when faced with haters or negative comments.

We all face criticism, be it online or in real life. But how should we, and more importantly, our children, respond? 🤔 In this video, I'll share a simple yet powerful technique I've taught my kids to handle such situations.

Instead of getting dragged into a war of words or letting negativity affect them, they've learned to respond with a calm "Ok thanks".

🙌 Why? Because by doing so, they're not giving haters the satisfaction of an emotional response. They're rising above, showing maturity, and moving on without letting negativity weigh them down.

👉 Watch on to learn more about this technique and how you can implement it in your life and teach your kids the same. Remember, it's not about stooping down to someone's level, but about rising above and showing them that their words don't define you.
