0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:51What is the difference between a man's role in a marriage, a woman's role in a marriage and god's role in a marriage okay okay well god is easy that's an easy one it's god's job to change everybody everybody else leave that to him that's not your job so that's that was easy who the man and the woman's role so let me let me start i ain't scared let's do this let's start off with this let's talk basketball yeah you use the same analogy I use. Listen. You use the same one I use. I love this. Let's take let's take men, male and female roles out of the equation. Uh-huh. And let's just say this. Somebody got to play point guard.

1:32What, we can't both dribble at the same time? It's only one basketball, okay? You can't both bring it up with the court at the same time? Somebody's got to be center. Somebody got to get that rebound. Somebody got to start the fast break. There is no, let's say it this way, there is no organization that does not have clearly define roles. No successful organization. No successful organization. There might be some that literally, but that's why they're not successful. Exactly. I'm a pastor. Obviously, I believe the word of God is the way to live. A lot of people don't realize this. The marriage and family was the first organization ever created in scripture.

2:06Before there was business, before there was church, before there was government, there was family. So when you look at the family as an organization, there are roles. And what are the best use of the roles for men and women in marriage? All right, you're going to pin me in the corner. This is my belief, and you're free to disagree with me. I think the man has a few roles. I think one of the primary roles is to protect. I think it is the man's role for his spouse, for his children, to protect physically and to protect emotionally, which is very interesting in this generation because some of the greatest threats to our family won't come at the front door, it's going to come through the internet.

2:54And I've got to know what's on my kids' phones and what's on their tablets and I've got all that other kind of stuff. So I think protection is major. I think it is the man's role to be the provider of the household. And this is where I get in trouble. Are you saying a woman can't make more than a man? And what if she makes more than a man? And do you believe in stay-at-home dads? This is where I will get canceled. I do not believe in stay-at-home dads. And I'll tell you why real quick. If you're going to cancel me, let me say this first, because I don't think work is about money. What's work about?

3:25I think work is about God's place you on this earth to fix a problem that nobody else can fix but you. And it has nothing to do with income. And I think as a man in particular, if you haven't figured out what the problem on this earth for you to solve is, there will always be a discontent on the inside and it has nothing to do with income yeah i call it i call that purpose yeah yeah it's what's the purpose you're meant to do to solve that problem to help fix are you saying that raising kids is not a man's purpose let me get in trouble i don't think it's a woman's purpose because them kids are going to be there for 18 years that woman's going to live for 60 70 80 years i think even women need to have a purpose outside of, I just want to raise kids and then sit around for my grandkids.

4:13Like, no, there's a greater impact. Not there's anything wrong with that. And once again, fulfilling your purpose doesn't have to come with an income. So I'm not saying everybody has to be out here working in corporate America or whatever else it may be. I love how you're looking at me like this guy's going back himself into a corner. So when it comes to provision, here's what I would say for a man, you've got to make enough money for your family to have a roof over their head and food on the table if your wife makes a lot more than you great it just means the quality of life the level of living the experience you can have are gonna be greater but if she does not want to work we will have house to live in we will have food on the table we'll have closing on our back and everything after that is icing on the cake
