Doug Kramer speaks up on Chesca Garcia’s viral ‘marriage’ post

In his second post, he explained what the word “submission” meant to his family.

He explained, “In our setup for our family, when there’s decisions or choices that need to be made, I consult my wife first. We talk about it. Her input and suggestion matters because she is the mother of my kids and I love her. In the end, I will consider all things and make the final decision that will be best fit for my family.”

PART 2 OF 3: . . Take this for example, why do you think there’s no 2 CEOs to run a company or 2 Presidents to run a country? Because there has to be 1 leader, one voice that you hear deliver the important statements. But I’m sure every decision these leaders make, they consult first and weigh what is the best decision to make. And yes, I know a company and country is different than a family. But if you work on your family properly, then society will become a better place. Character building starts at home. . . Now here’s something that “interested” a lot of people. . . Ephesians 5:22-24 “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.” . . What does submission to your husband mean according to the Bible? Does it mean like this, “hey you woman, make me a meal, or wash the dishes now. Or give me what my body wants?” Is this the kind of submission you really think the Bible means? In our setup for our family, when there’s decisions or choices that need to be made, I consult my wife first. We talk about it. Her input and suggestion matters because she is the mother of my kids and I love her. In the end, I will consider all things and make the final decision that will be best fit for my family. . . Now does Chesca stop being productive and just submit and submit? Nope! In fact, she gets restless at times. But she uses her restlessness to think of how she can also help in other aspects and be productive. Like with finances of the family through business ventures, partnerships and collabs. She’s done so much, like Snh, Sniff and Cuddle, ilovekoi swimwear, a salon, etc. These are just ways to show that submission to your husband doesn’t mean you also stop existing. . .

In his last post, Doug stressed the importance of the bible and Christ in their marriage.

Post 3 or 3: . Now are all husbands good and faithful to their wives and finances? Unfortunately not. My opinion is, to the wives, if your husband doesn’t know how to handle the families finances, I suggest you take over. But teach him too the proper way, so in the future, he may possibly lead and may make better decisions. A marriage is a daily working partnership. . . Lastly. Guess what comes right after the verse on Post 2. And see how valuable the wife is. And I take this to heart. . . Ephesians 5:25 says “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” . . God’s church is not a structure or building. God’s church is us. The people. So Jesus gave up His life for US. FOR YOU AND ME. That’s how important we are. And in this verse, we are shown and ordered how much a husband should love his wife, to how much Christ loved the church. . . In the end, is there an assurance that our marriage will last forever and that we’ll stay true to our covenant as husband and wife? No! We are all imperfect. But you know, because of our need of Christ in our lives, and because of our imperfectness, we have a dependence and faith in Him for Christ to always be in the center of our relationship. Through Him, it’s very possible to make this family work. ☝️🙏
