Who Comes First? Wife or Mother: A Husband’s Real Talk | Loveseat with Ibukun Adewusi

Welcome back to the Loveseat! One of the most common dilemmas in marriage — and one of the least talked about. Who comes first, the wife or the mother? In this episode, I am going straight to Genesis 2:24 to answer that question once and for all. We are unpacking what it truly means for a man to leave, to cleave, and to become one with his wife. Because the answer to this dilemma is not found in opinions or traditions — it is found in the Word of God. I also have a specific word for the husbands, a word for the wives, and a word for the mother-in-laws — because this conversation belongs to everyone at the table. Whether you are a husband navigating this dilemma, a wife trying to understand your place, or a mother-in-law wanting to honour your son's marriage, this episode is for you.
