Hey guys. Welcome to the Five Minute Fatherhood podcast. I'm your co-host, Jeff Bethke, along with my friend and mentor, Jeremy Pryor. Join us Monday through Friday as we chat about quick tips, skills, and ways to help equip you on your journey as a father to build your multi-generational family team on mission.

Stay tuned.

What's up guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So we want you guys to build awesome family teams, and that means your

relationship with your wife is so critical. And so my favorite marriage advice is straight from

the Bible. There's this amazing verse in 1 Peter 3.7, and he simply says,

husbands live with your wives in an understanding way. And what I have taken from that

is that I think that every husband should go to school to get a PhD on his wife. You should

understand her at an incredibly deep level. What Peter is saying here is you need to understand

your wife, live with your wife, but you're

doing it the way that you're designing your lifestyle, the way of life, is through the understanding

of your wife. Another way to say this, Paul said in Ephesians 528, husbands should love their wives

as their own bodies. Now, what happens with your own body is you kind of like, you just, you,

you have a PhD in your own body. If you like spend much time thinking about like, oh, like, I know what I like to eat. I know how I like to sleep. I know what happens when I don't, you know, get exercise or I know what, you know, I know all these things. I know, I know my body really well. I inhabit it. I've got, you know, my 10,000 hours of

experience of, in, you know, embodying myself. And Paul's like, that is the way in which you should

love your wife. It's the same thing Peter's saying. You have to understand your wife. And so,

part of this, you guys, is a lot of times we will, as men, have sort of a, I would say,

sort of a general template of wife, right? And then we compare our wife to that template. And if you

want to figure out a way to destroy your marriage, like constantly try to get your wife to live

up to your template of what a wife is.

Like that is not what Peter's saying here.

That is not what Paul is saying here.
