When it comes to relationships, your sons will repeat what they see… and your daughters will accept what they’re shown. That’s why the way you love, lead, and treat your partner isn’t just about the two of you...it’s about the little eyes watching silently, learning what love is supposed to look like.
Your son is watching how you talk to her when you’re angry. He’s watching how you show up when things aren’t easy. He’s watching how you apologize, how you handle her heart, how you treat her when no one’s looking. And one day, he’s going to mirror it. Whether it’s love or pain, he’ll pass it on.
And your daughter? She’s watching too. She’s learning what to tolerate. She’s learning whether love means raising your voice, breaking her spirit, or making her feel small. She’s learning if silence is normal, if inconsistency is love, if walking on eggshells is part of being “chosen.” She’s learning what to expect… and what to settle for.
So no, it’s not just a fight. It’s not just a bad habit. It’s not just “how you are.” It’s a blueprint. It’s a pattern. It’s a cycle.
And you get to decide whether that cycle ends or repeats.
Teach your son to be the man who gives love gently, not the man who thinks control is strength. Teach your daughter to walk away the first time love asks her to shrink. Show them that peace is possible, that respect is non-negotiable, that love doesn’t come with bruises...physical or emotional.
Because one day, your children will build homes of their own.
Make sure the foundation you gave them doesn’t have cracks in it.
