Ep. 198: The Roles of Men and Women in a Healthy Marriage the Way God Intended ft. Kay C. James

Video
Men’s Alliance

Kay C. James is a conservative leader and former President of the Heritage Foundation. She has held key roles in government, including Director of the Office of Personnel Management under President George W. Bush. Known for her work on healthcare, welfare reform, and education, James is also an advocate for limited government, free markets, and traditional family values. In this episode, Kay shares her "controversial" (in today's society) views on the roles in a marriage and a family, the duties of a husband and wife, and what marriage should look like when we are cherishing it and experiencing it the way God intended. This was a great conversation with a lot of great eye opening moments for both men and women, with the overall takeaway being how much work it takes to have a long, happy, healthy marriage like Kay of 50+ years.
