Since it appears you're not trolling, it's important to remember the roles of each of the sexes. Women can only do what they naturally want to (nurture, be sweet, etc.) if Men fulfill their role of leading. Not domineering, but leading. "Honey, this is why a Disney cruise right now is not a good idea. How about we rent a cabin on the river for a week instead," etc.
Many men are absolutely lazy and use tropes like, "happy wife happy life." That's complete and utter avoidance and laziness to avoid conflict. That's not what a leader is supposed to do, but it's the easy way.

I always put the kids first, then my significant other, then myself.
I ask that she puts the kids first, then herself, then me.
As a man, I recognize this as the natural order of things.

Well said.
The man is the spiritual leader of the home.
Avoiding this responsibility is the recipe for a poor marriage.

Yes, I put others first before myself as Paul says in Philippians 2: 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. I struggle with verse 4 a lot of the time but, I’ve made it a point to be better about it.

i struggle as well with this but know the benefits of it for the betterment of the family. if you’re a christian and a husband as well as a father then this is something that impacts your life daily. i think it’s important to fill your cup as well as others, it’s all a balance. Christ served others and expects us to do the same. marriage is hard, raising kids is hard, being a good friend is hard. Carrying your cross is hard.

I have always said to my wife, whenever she suggests doing anything, "Let's do that! If it doesn't work out, then we'll do something else." Many times she is wrong, and I know it, but that's okay. Fixing wrong things is a lot simpler that fixing relationships.
