5 ways the dual income household is destroying families
THREAD
1. Divorce
Money is the #1 cause of divorce in marriage. So it may be easy to say more of it will solve this issue.
More money leads to the stress of maintaining a lifestyle that you have built.
Families need to know that they don't need 2 incomes to be happy.
2. Kids
Kids need attention from their parents, not money. This "need" for money has destroyed the idea of a parent staying at home to give kids the love and support they need in the developmental years.
Stay at home moms are the backbone of society and need to be celebrated
3. Materialistic Mindset
People work to make money in order to do the things they want in life; leading to constant wanting and the need for more income.
The problem is that there will never be enough to satisfy this mindset and will teach kids the same. (Generational Curses)
4. Feeding Your Marriage
Both partners spend so much time chasing more money and promotions that there is a lack of time to grow in your relationship. This leads to resentment and poor communication.
Spouses need time to continue to grow and be intentional.
5. Legacy
Money won't build a legacy.
Wealth is an important factor but not the only factor in legacy. We have to start teaching our families what a true legacy looks like through respect, pride, and generosity towards others. Two incomes are not needed for generational wealth.

My sister was a straight A student-athlete before she went down a road that led her to prison at 29
4 yrs later she came out clean
Here is how she got there and 5 lessons to keep your kids from the same fate
Time for a 🧵
You never think it could happen to your kid
My dad thought the same thing and quickly learned that if you don’t invest in your kid early that you are setting the up for failure
He was a father who provided but never knew how to really teach his daughters self love
This led to my sister doing everything for approval. It started with excelling in sports/school.
She received the recognition but it wasn’t enough. My dad was busy with work and they didn’t go to believe in going to church so their life centered around work, school, and sports
