Please reconsider your advice. Don't you believe that the son should see his father putting his wife second, after The Lord? From a Christian or Hebrew perspective, the husband and the wife are "one flesh." The father and son, although certainly related by blood, are not "one flesh" in the eyes of The Lord.

If the son sees the father putting the wife's needs and desires before those of the son, he will be far more likely to treat his own wife well when the time comes that he will be married himself. The most essential thing for children is that they be raised within intact families. The wife must be first among the merely human relationships a husband has.

"The most essential thing for children is that they be raised within intact families."

I disagree, although it is generally a good idea, there is nothing essential about it. Plenty of good people have been raised in non-intact families and plenty of stinkers have been raised in intact families.
