Take the lead...

Most wives are take charge, do whatever it takes kind of women. Unfortunately, that incredible character trait can lead to us as husbands letting them take over way too much responsibility. Despite their innate abilities, our wives need us to step up as husband and father in our family. They are looking to us to for direction and leadership. 

When our children need discipline, step in before your wife has to. When it is date night, plan the entire evening.  If there is a difficult conversation that needs to take place, start it and stay engaged. When you want to disengage, tell yourself, "Take the lead."

Your wife and children are looking to you for direction, if you aren't doing your part, start now.
