Dominick, your writing on this commencement speech transcends the topic. Many of us need help to process all the media is throwing out these days. Thanks for sharing your perspective and your heart. Both are encouraging.
As always, exceptional perspective! My wife and I may be old fashioned, but when our first born arrived we had a very careful conversation about what it meant to go forward as a family. We decided jointly that she would be a stay at home Mom, and raise our children as her primary responsibility. We had three beautiful children and she did an amazing job keeping our family going in the right direction, despite numerous relocations around the country along the way. Had she wanted a career outside our home, she was free to pursue it, but that never became a concern. I don’t think she has any regrets of her choice of her vocation, and our kids were so much better for it.
Dave, your testimony is especially encouraging for us younger dads to hear. The conversation about roles in the home can sometimes feel like a powder keg, and often I think we miss the forest through the trees. When both husband and wife submit out of reverence for Christ, we experience the grace of heaven in our households, even if the particulars may vary between families. Thanks for sharing how this has worked itself out in your home.
