Welp….. We all saw the slap that moved the world. Chris Rock just got slapped on live television(Oscars 2022) by Will Smith. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife’s alopecia. Now personally, I thought it was funny. But, I have fought folks over disrespecting my girl for less of a reason.

*** I’m not condoning violence**

Now whether you think he should or shouldn’t of did it;This story really isn’t about that. This is about how to ensure your spouse feels safe with you at all times.

The comment wasn’t the issue but his wife’s disappointing face was. If you let your spouse be disrespected by your family, The conversation in the car going home.

Well….. I don’t have to tell you how bad that will be. I’ve literally seen folks almost get in car wrecks from arguing with their spouse in the car.

When a person disrespects your spouse, you can either fight/argue with the person or end up breaking up with your spouse. I’m sure we all heard/seen our spouse say, “ So you’re going to let them say anything to me”. This verbiage mandates a response.

I want to talk about 3 ways to protect your partner’s dignity with your family.
