Mom Makes Curriculum For Her Sons To Become Good Husbands, Son Shares His Experience Years Later

Family life is often complicated for many people. After all, we aren't born with the knowledge or skills to create the perfect family life or to improve it when a breaking point arises.

That's why so many people refer to books, experts, and workshops to help them build or enhance their family relationships. Sadly, this does not always yield the desired results for many individuals.

This is often the case for those who seek help only when their family relationships are already facing serious problems, or, shall we say, when they're at the point of no return. This frequently occurs in marriages that have deteriorated beyond saving or those that have become far too toxic.

Some would argue that a good way to prevent these issues is to have lessons on relationships from childhood, but we all know that such education is lacking. Whether in school or at home, teaching these lessons is not an easy task.

TikTok blogger Doug Weaver, however, has a different story. In a video, he revealed that his mother actually created a curriculum for him and his brothers to become better husbands in the future. She called it "Husbands in Training."

When Doug uploaded his video, it immediately went viral, gaining more than 5.6 million views and over 1.3 million likes in just a few days, and it's no wonder why.

In the video, Doug explained that his mom's curriculum included a variety of materials, some of which were incredibly helpful and others not as much. Among the latter was an adult film quiz that he hopes will never see the light of day.

While it did contain some elements that seemed silly, Doug admits that the course turned out to be incredibly useful for him and his brothers. It covered everything from dining etiquette to chivalry and how to avoid mistakes in building a strong relationship.

Some of these lessons included what to do if your spouse shares incorrect information, how to handle situations where something inappropriate is said in public versus in private, when it's appropriate to correct them, and when it's not.

There were also a lot of things that everybody can actually learn from

Before she met their father, Doug's mom experienced some poor relationships in her life, so all the lessons she taught her sons were based on her personal experiences. These lessons included the importance of consent, the basics of respecting and honoring women, and, of course, how to listen to them effectively.

When Doug was in high school, even his father decided to join the lessons, having learned a lot from them as well. Doug's father realized that he hadn't been taught many of these things when he was growing up, so he decided to learn from his wife.

Their mom even created a certificate of completion, which she signed and gave to her sons on their wedding day.

Although he's not too keen to revive everything, Doug wants to share some of these lessons with his own son. He said that he'll definitely teach him how consent works, how to properly identify when women are in distress, how to intervene appropriately, and more.

He also believes it's important to teach about healthy conflict resolution and other valuable skills.

Doug has noted that he and his brothers are all married, and their wives truly appreciate the lessons their mother imparted to them.

In the comments, people were in awe of Doug's mother. Many mentioned that raising a boy is a significant responsibility for any woman and that Doug's mother is a legend for doing what she did and deserves a book written in her honor.

One of the most popular comments was a request to publish Doug's mom's curriculum as soon as possible. In Doug's next video, he mentioned that they plan to launch a YouTube channel featuring his mom's lessons for current and future husbands.
