Mr. Homemaker Podcast: Recent Episodes

Mr. Homemaker

In the midst of a pandemic, the compounding stresses of family life and economic forces drove one husband and father to reevaluate his strategy. In partnership with his wife, he decided to step back from his career and take on the mantle of "Mr. Homemaker." This is their story. Markus wants to help men learn to "MANage their Households" - to embrace their masculinity and better fulfill their responsibilities as husbands and fathers. Kristen hopes you can learn from our experience, gain concrete tips to improve your household operations, and make your home - and therefore your life - healthier, happier, and more harmonious. Let's spend more time enjoying this beautiful life with our families. They share a thesis that as two management professionals, the tools and techniques they use in the workplace should enable them to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in their household. Initial topics include daily chores and weekly routines; finances and cashflow; and space, storage, and supply management (i.e. meal planning and grocery shopping).

The purpose of this season is to develop a theory and strategy for cultivating healthy marriages and families in the world today.
...
Over the past few months of listener feedback and online interaction, it has become apparent that developing a broadly-acceptable theory will only be possible if we can first achieve foundational understanding across the diverse perspectives that shape how people think about and experience marriage and family life.
...
We cannot improve our marriages and family lives if we don’t first equip ourselves with the mental maps and points of reference that are necessary to navigate difficult conversations and avoid pitfalls so we can arrive at mutual understanding and authentic cooperation.

How should we approach Santa with our children?

Does making a big deal about Santa set children up for a disillusionment, resentment, and skepticism that will send them down the road to agnosticism or atheism?

In this installment of “Have You Reddit?” I share highlights from my online discussions with Kristen to get her reactions and stimulate collaboration and decision-making for our marriage and family.


Also a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Xr5kTUL2CM8


Yes - the Mrs. made us stream this from the stairs leading down to our basement to ensure our children didn't overhear this conversation. Not our normal setup.

Mr. Homemaker's Definition & Purpose of MARRIAGE [Draft as of Sep 14, 2022]:

  • Exclusivity (especially Sexual Exclusivity)
  • Commitment (e.g. life-long)
  • Mutual Enrichment
  • Joint Endeavor to Bring up Children & Foster a Well-Functioning Family

  • References

  • Classical Philosophy distinguishes six kinds of “love” relevant to our model of Marriage - Romantic Love being just one kind.

    • (1) Passionate Love [Eros] entails sexual “Romantic Love”
    • (2) Playful, Uncommitted Love [Ludus] entails fun and/or conquest - with no strings attached
    • (3) Friendship [Philia] entails mutual good will
      • Utility
      • Pleasure
      • Mutual Admiration = Goodness = Rationality & Virtue
    • (4) Familial Love [Storge] is like Friendship, but rooted in dependency, familiarity, and our identity (rather than qualities)
    • (5) Practical Love [Pragma] is founded on reason, duty, and long-term interests
    • (6) Universal Love (e.g. of strangers) [Agape] is unselfish, altruistic concern for welfare of other [generally]
  • United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) Opinion, OBERGEFELL v. HODGES -

  • Four principles and traditions demonstrate that the reasons marriage is fundamental under the Constitution -

  • personal choice regarding marriage is inherent in the concept of individual autonomy;

  • a two-person union unlike any other in its importance to the committed individuals;
  • it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of childrearing, procreation, and education;

  • (a) Without the recognition, stability, and predictability marriage offers, children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser.

  • (b) They also suffer the significant material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated to a more difficult and uncertain family life.
  • (c) Precedent protects the right of a married couple not to procreate, so the right to marry cannot be conditioned on the capacity or commitment to procreate.

  • marriage is a keystone of the Nation’s social order…. States have plac[ed] it at the center of many facets of the legal and social order.

I believe that, over the past 70 years or more, mindsets and lifestyles related to marriage and family have changed in detrimental ways; and that Millenials today confront a crisis, as will Generation Z very soon.
The challenge we confront - as Millennials and Generation Z - is to recognize the problem, diagnose the causes, and develop the mindsets and strategies that will enable us to have successful marriage and families … Creating a new inflection point that begins to stop and reverse these destructive cycles and trends by which our society has been destroying itself for the past 50 and 70 years; and that we provide our children and grandchildren with more favorable conditions to achieve healthy, fulfilling lives in accordance with what we know about human flourishing.

Mr. Homemaker's Definition & Purpose of FAMILY [Draft as of Aug 24, 2022]:
[ Who ]
A group of people who
...
[ What they do (function) ]
share emotional, material, and financial resources
...
[ Why they do it (the purpose) ]
in order to provide for the flourishing of its members – helping them to progress through Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, ultimately achieving Self-Actualization
...
[ How they do it (the manner) ]
while simultaneously contributing to the well-being of neighboring families, communities, societies at large, and future families

  • CrashCourse - Sociology #37 [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaeiCEro0iU ]:
    Families: Groups of people ... Who are Related by Genetics, Marriage, or Choice; ... who share
    Material, Emotional, and Economic Resources ... [with a] commonly shared goal of well-being and mutual support of its members…
  • Revise Sociology [ https://revisesociology.com/2014/02/09/functionalist-perspective-family/ ]:
    George Peter Murdock - Murdock suggested there were ‘four essential functions’ of the nuclear family:
    ...
  • Socialisation of the young – teaching basic norms and values
  • Meeting its members economic needs – producing food and shelter for example.
  • Simply Psychology on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs [ https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html ]
    The School of Life on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0PKWTta7lU&list=PLtc6rEGaOTJHAowpUQhjqWzcJu_l7N3Zj&index=2&t=5s ]
  • Having explored the purpose of The Nuclear Family, next time we will turn our attention to the purpose of Marriage -- We will publish our next episode on the 2nd Wednesday of September - September 14th
    In the meantime, I will release a bonus episode clarifying the terms, timeliness, and key concepts that I associate with all the generations in the United States over the last 100 years.

About This Episode<
In January 2022, as we began preparing to launch the Mr. Homemaker Podcast, Kristen and I recorded several conversations without a definite sense of if or when we would end up publishing them. Some of that content was used for our Week Zero introduction of "The Road to Mr. Homemaker."

The attached audio was one conversation that I found particularly fun and illuminating as Kristen and I began feeling our way through and sharing our intuitions and thoughts about work, family, and gender. I encourage you to listen with your spouse, relatives, or friends - and pause to share your reflections along the way! * Download a worksheet here: https://mr-homemaker.com/processes-%26-tools *

The "Director's Cut" of this discussion - with our full dialogue - is currently available exclusively to our Patrons. Please consider becoming a Patron and helping defray the costs of production, publication, and marketing so we can continue to "reach more couples trying to navigate these challenging times" ~ while also supporting charities that strengthen marriages or alleviate the hardships that result when men fail to fulfill their responsibilities as husbands and fathers.
